Overthinking, i.e. the constant and often unnecessary thinking about certain situations, decisions or events, can have a significant psychological impact. It’s a widespread way of thinking in which thoughts go round in circles without leading to solutions. A central mechanism of overthinking is the incessant preoccupation with negative thoughts and possible scenarios, which leads to a state of uncertainty and inner conflict.

Overthinking and psychological consequences: overthinking can lead to increased stress, anxiety and depression in the long run. Furthermore, over-analysing thought processes can impair the ability to make clear decisions and often lead to a negative self-perception. People who are prone to overthinking tend to experience sleep disorders and exhaustion, as the constant mental pressure also puts a strain on the body over time.

In order to free ourselves from overthinking, it is important to realise that constant thinking only gives us the illusion of control, but does not actually lead to solutions. Mindfulness techniques such as meditation or breathing exercises can help to calm thoughts and focus the mind. It is helpful to talk to other people regularly and share your thoughts in order to gain a healthy and realistic perspective in dialogue with others.

Do you sometimes find yourself over-analysing? Are you preoccupied with things that no one else seems to care about? How many people have told you that you should finally stop doing this and just ‘enjoy life’? Maybe the others are right. Or maybe they’re totally wrong. Some things deserve to be reconsidered a hundred times over. Maybe we’d live in a better world if we all thought twice about some essential issues.

Do you tend to over-analyse? Do you find this enriching or stressful? And do you really think about things too much – or perhaps others think too little?

Let’s talk about it in a free initial session!
