• Understanding the difference between creative, productive thinking and anxiety-driven overthinking
• Learning to recognize when your brain is protecting you vs when it's locked into fear-based thinking.
• Handling intrusive thoughts without giving them power over your emotions
• Why you can't outthink anxiety (your thinking brain doesn't work well when you're anxious)
• Breaking the cycle between anxious thoughts and physical sensations
• How to use breathing (4-4-6 count) to interrupt nighttime overthinking and fall asleep
• Using how your body feels as a signal to check your thoughts
• Learning to trust yourself instead of every thought that crosses your mind
