If you’re anything like me or many of the people I work with, you’ve likely found yourself stuck in a never-ending cycle of overanalyzing or ruminating over every little detail—past, present, or future. You think and think, hoping to find the right answer, the perfect solution, or some sense of certainty, but instead, you just end up feeling more overwhelmed and anxious. Have you ever felt like overthinking fuels your anxiety? I bet you have!

Today, we’re going to talk about these thought patterns, known as mental compulsions.
