Overthinkers often believe that if you can have everything in life planned out and organised, know what’s happening where, when, how and with whom, then you’ll be able to stop worrying. If only it was really true. Trying to keep control of everything doesn’t stop you worrying so it’s time we took a different approach.

In this episode we look at:

  • What wanting to be in total control looks like
  • The role of What If
  • How trying to keep control won’t make worrying disappear
  • How to recognise when you’re in controlling mode
  • What to do to loosen your controlling grip
