The Anxiety Series: When Your Mind Gets Stuck
Five practical tools for overthinking, worry and repetitive thoughts
When Your Mind Gets Stuck
Practical psychological tools for overthinking, worry and thoughts that keep looping
Perhaps you replay conversations, go backwards and forwards over decisions, try to work out what someone else is thinking, or find yourself returning to the same question long after thinking about it has stopped being useful.
The problem isn't that your mind thinks. It's when thinking stops helping and starts looping.
When Your Mind Gets Stuck gives you five practical tools to help you recognise what is happening, work out what your mind actually needs, and find a way forward.

Does this sound familiar?
•You replay a conversation afterwards, wondering what you should have said differently.
•You go backwards and forwards over a decision, trying to feel completely certain before you make it.
•You worry about something you can’t control, even though you know worrying isn’t changing anything.
•You find yourself trying to work out what someone else is thinking or what they might do.
•You keep returning to the same thought, hoping that if you think about it for long enough you’ll finally find an answer
You probably don’t need to get better at thinking things through.
You may need a different way of responding when thinking has stopped being useful.
That is exactly what these tools are designed to help you do.
Five tools for five different kinds of stuck
Overthinking doesn’t always need the same response. Sometimes there’s a decision to make. Sometimes you’re trying to control something that isn’t yours. Sometimes a thought needs somewhere to go. And sometimes there’s something underneath the thinking that needs a little more attention. That’s why this toolkit gives you five different ways to respond.
UNTANGLE IT
What does this need from me?
Use this when your mind is going round in circles because there may actually be something to decide, solve or do. It helps you move from repetitive thinking towards a clear next step.
CIRCLES OF CONTROL
What’s mine, what isn’t, and where do I put my energy?
Use this when you're spending energy on something you can't fully control. It helps you separate what is yours to act on from what isn't yours to carry. PARK IT
This matters. I don’t need to think about it all day.
For thoughts that keep returning even though now isn't the time to deal with them. This gives the thought somewhere to go, without dismissing it or letting it take over your day.
GO DEEPER
What is this thought really about?
Sometimes repetitive thinking is pointing towards something underneath. This tool helps you explore what the thought may be touching emotionally, rather than staying caught at the surface.
PUT IT DOWN
When you’ve thought enough. For those times when there is nothing more to work out.
This helps you recognise when thinking has stopped being useful and practise letting the thought go.
