  This episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit is going to explain the exact reason why this happens and more importantly,

• 00:29

  I'm going to show you what your brain is actually doing.

• 00:32

  Trying to do, what's keeping this cycle going and what to do instead.

• 00:37

  Most people think this is an overthinking problem.

• 00:43

  They think if I could just figure this out, I'd feel better.

• 00:46

  But that's not actually what's happening is your brain has learned.

• 00:50

  That solving equals safety.

• 00:53

  So when something feels uncomfortable, uncertain,

• 00:56

  or unresolved, your brain sends you a message, we need to figure this out so we can feel okay again.

• 01:03

  So what do you do?

• 01:04

  You engage in the thought, you analyze it, you question it, you replay it, you try to get certainty.

• 01:12

  It works.

• 01:13

• 01:15

  You feel a little more settled, a little more in control.

• 01:19

  And that relief feels like the solution.

• 01:22

  But here's what the part most people don't realize.

• 01:25

• 01:28

  Because every time you feel better after solving, your brain learns, oh, this worked.

• 01:34

  Let's do it again next time.
