Overthinkers, often perfectionists, mistakenly believe they possess superior predictive skills, which can exacerbate anxiety. In therapy, many struggle with reframing negative thoughts, believing they must focus solely on the positive. This misconception can hinder their ability to confront uncertainty. Therapists must navigate the balance between encouraging positivity and fostering acceptance of fear and uncertainty, ultimately helping patients learn coping strategies rather than merely avoiding future heartache. Genuine support requires honesty about what can and cannot be controlled.
Overthinkers mistakenly believe that their capacity for prediction sets them apart, while in reality, this belief leads to greater anxiety and often unhelpful outcomes.
In therapy, patients with an overthinking mentality struggle to reframe negative thoughts, thinking they must always adopt an overly positive perspective, without facing uncertainties.
