"My brain won’t shut up" – constant mental chatter, over analysing past conversations or future scenarios.
"I’m always braced for disaster" – waiting for something bad to happen, even when things are fine.
"I get stuck in thought loops" – cycling through the same worries like a broken record.
"I need 100% certainty, or I freak out" – struggling with "not knowing" and needing excessive reassurance.
"I’m tired of my own thoughts" – mentally exhausted but unable to stop.
"I catastrophise everything" – automatically jumping to worst-case scenarios.
"I over prepare because I can’t trust things will be okay" –research spirals, excessive planning, or avoiding risks.
"My body reacts before my mind does" – stomach knots, tension headaches, or sudden waves of dread "out of nowhere."
Why Can’t I Just "Stop Worrying"?

How CBT Therapy Can Help Rewire Your Brain
Worry tricks you into thinking it’s helpful ("If I don’t worry, something bad will happen"). But in reality:
Your brain gets stuck in a threat-detection loop, scanning for danger even when there isn’t any.
Avoidance and reassurance-seeking keep the cycle going.
Over time, your mind treats worry as a habit, like a broken record you can’t turn off.
You might not even call it "anxiety", just how your brain works or overthinking. But when worry starts eating up your time, draining your energy, or affecting your relationships, it could be Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

CBT Therapy
Identifies the "what ifs" that fuel your worry and challenges them.
Teaches you to tolerate uncertainty (spoiler: you can cope even without 100% guarantees).
Replaces endless "problem-solving" with actual solutions, or acceptance when things are out of your control.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing)
Helps if your worry is tied to past experiences (e.g., childhood stress, trauma, or a "last straw" event).
Processes the memories/emotions that make your brain hyper-alert to danger.
Works on both conscious worries and the background "noise" of anxiety.
