Have you ever found yourself rehashing a perfectly normal conversation in your head, only for it to turn into a disaster hours later?
In this episode of NLP in Real Life, I explore the all-too-common habit of obsessing over what we said, how we said it, and what others must have thought.
I’ll guide you through the subtle difference between useful reflection and unhelpful rumination, show you how to step out of the emotional replay loop, and introduce simple NLP techniques to help you extract value from your experiences—without turning every conversation into a courtroom drama.
