Why Does Your Brain Always Go There? 😊

Something happens. Something small.

And within seconds your brain has turned it into a catastrophe.

The boss wants a word — you're getting sacked. Your partner seems quiet — it's over. A headache — it's serious.

Sound familiar?

Catastrophising is one of the most common thinking patterns I see in the therapy room. And it's exhausting. You're living a disaster that hasn't happened and probably never will.

Your brain thinks it's protecting you. It isn't. It's just scaring you.

CBT is brilliant for catching this spiral early and interrupting it.

You don't have to live on high alert. 💛
