@jackielouhumphries: 🚀 Therapeutically, it's important to recognise that cognitive processing cannot replace emotional processing. Avoiding bodily sensations only fuels the cycle of overthinking, highlighting a paradox: true freedom comes from confronting the very feelings we try to avoid. Interventions with young people focus on helping them become aware of the emotions that lie beneath their thoughts. By encouraging them to recognise and accept their bodily sensations, we can reduce the compulsion to overthink. While this idea may seem straightforward, applying it can be quite challenging for young people. The ongoing plan is to deepen awareness of the link between overthinking and emotional avoidance, as well as to practice noticing bodily sensations during moments of overthinking. #MentalHealth #Counseling #Support #Empowerment #Connection #Wellbeing #Adolescents #Therapy #Parenting #Identity #Resilience #Communication #Growth #Hope #Confidence #Healing #Guidance #Awareness #SelfEsteem #Acceptance #Empowerment, #StrongWomen, or #YouAreEnough#perception#lifechanging
