What Is Counterproductive Overthinking? — Part II

This is a continuation of last week’s conversation, but you do not need to have attended Part I to join.

We’ll go a step deeper into how overthinking actually functions — not as a flaw, but as a protective strategy that can quietly become counterproductive when it no longer serves the present moment.

Rather than trying to “stop thinking,” we’ll explore:

  • How to recognize when thinking is no longer adding clarity
  • The difference between productive reflection and looping rumination
  • Why overthinking often intensifies under uncertainty, fatigue, or relational stress
  • Gentle ways to interrupt mental loops without self-criticism or force

This is not a skills class, therapy session, or performance space.
There is no requirement to speak — listening is full participation.

As always, the tone is slow, respectful, and regulation-first.
