What did I think?
I am a massive overthinker and once I get on the hamster wheel I can't get off it. I didn't even know it was a solvable problem, I just thought it was the way that I am but now I know better thanks to Dr Jessamy Hibberd's amazing life-changing book, The Overthinking Cure.
By the time I had finished reading chapter one, I had started to recognise when I was overthinking and by the end of chapter two I realised I wasn't alone and it's not my fault. Our brains are wired to solve problems and part of that is going through every possible outcome, but sometimes this overthinking can affect our life and become a negative habit.
The book is set out in three parts: Understanding the problem, Why we overthink and The cure. It is written in a very accessible way that is easy to understand and there are diagrams, tables and exercises to aid further understanding. The chapters are concise and informative as well as being interesting and thought-provoking. There are some memorable analogies too and I particularly liked one about our emotions being like where to seat children in a car: you don't want them driving it but neither do you want them hidden away in the boot!
Whilst I think it's a long road to cure my overthinking, I feel like I'm heading in the right direction with my emotions firmly strapped in to the back seat. I think it's fair to say that The Overthinking Cure could change your life as it has already made a difference to mine. Don't overthink it - just order a copy now!
