Managing Overthinking

Managing Overthinking Workbook
Quiet the mental noise, reduce rumination, and regain clarity — without forcing your mind to switch off.
 
Product Description
 
Managing Overthinking is a therapist-designed self-help workbook created to support adults who feel trapped in loops of analysis, worry, replaying conversations, or mentally rehearsing worst-case scenarios.
 
Overthinking isn’t a lack of discipline or positivity. It’s often a protective response driven by anxiety, uncertainty, or emotional overload. The mind tries to think its way to safety — but ends up increasing stress, exhaustion, and self-doubt.
 
This workbook offers a calm, structured way to help you understand why overthinking happens, recognise the patterns that keep it going, and learn practical ways to step out of mental loops — without suppressing thoughts or criticising yourself.
 
Designed by experienced UK therapists, this workbook blends CBT-informed psychology, metacognitive strategies, and emotional regulation tools to help you respond to thoughts differently and restore mental space and balance.
This isn’t about stopping thoughts.

It’s about changing your relationship with them.
