Do you spiral into worst-case scenarios the moment something feels uncertain? 😵‍💫 You're not alone! This is a common cognitive distortion called catastrophic thinking, and it’s tied to anxiety and nervous system dysregulation.

In this empowering solo episode, Rae, somatic coach and breathwork facilitator, guides you through:

🌿 What catastrophic thinking is and how it shows up in your mind and body
🌿 Why this pattern is a nervous system response rooted in protection, not personal failure
🌿 How to spot when you’re spiraling and how to gently interrupt the fear loop
🌿 Somatic tools to shift from anxiety to grounded presence
🌿 How self-compassion widens your window of tolerance and builds inner resilience
🌿 A mindset reframe: Best case, worst case, most likely outcome

You'll also learn how to pair mindset work with body-based healing to regulate in real-time.

This episode is perfect for you if you’re an anxious overthinker, a recovering perfectionist, or simply ready to stop letting fear call the shots. Tune in to reclaim calm, access inner safety, and meet your anxious thoughts with compassion instead of panic.
