Why Anxiety Makes You Question Everythin...

Jess Eden | Therapy With Jess
About this episode

Anxiety doesn’t just make you feel uncomfortable — it makes you question everything.

 In this short, calming episode, we explore the exhausting cycle of overthinking, mental checking, and self-doubt that anxiety creates — and why trying to answer every single anxious question only keeps you stuck.

PS. Get the Break Free From Rumination Guide here. 

You’ll hear:
 ✔️ Why anxiety feels like it demands answers
 ✔️ Why reassurance and certainty don’t actually help long term
 ✔️ A reframe for when you’re spiralling with doubt
 ✔️ How to gently stop mental rumination and build self-trust
 ✔️ A mini intro to the Break Free from Rumination guide

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to answer every thought to be safe.
 You're not broken — your brain is just trying to protect you in the only way it knows how.

🎧 Follow Anxiously Capable for more support with anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, and self-trust.
