This works so well for me after trying it out! You have no idea how much I have learned about myself from you and I feel like I am improving myself in so many ways. I find myself constantly telling myself "what would Georgia say" for so many situations I find myself in. You continue to be a comforting presence in my life and make me feel better about everything I am. I really can't thank you enough for what you have done, and I look forward to all your videos.
I regret not starting journaling sooner. Multiple people recommended it but I was always too lazy to really start or stick with it. But it is incredibly useful. I find that it makes the bad emotion less harsh and the thoughts stop repeating for a while because I can just tell my brain that "we" discussed this at length.
Rumination is a specialized form of personalized anguish filled with “woulda, coulda, shoulda” thoughts...it’s what I imagine Hell must be like except, due to its inherent irreversibility and permanence, entirely lacking in the compartmentalizing and forward looking remedies you recommend. Truly agonizing. Great video!
For me it's not just a recurring thoughts, I have recurring dreams as well. They usually involve me trying to get away from someone or some situation. But I know now that running isn't the solution. I have to turn around and face my problems because no matter where I go they will still be there! I just recently started journaling but not in the way that you stated. I feel like this is going to turn things around. Thank you!
I absolutely love how you're explaining the science behind the anxiety, instead of just saying 'yeah that'll cause anxiety, don't ignore it, start a journal', because then I don't see the correlation between the 'solution' and the 'problem'. Why am I even doing this extra work, then? That's another thing I dislike about other channels like this. I'm going to try this with one of my cycling thoughts, and I hope it works. Thank you for another great video.
I have these bothersome thoughts coming and going and it's true that all I do is shake my head and push them aside. I never tried writing my thoughts down. Now I think I should. Thanks.
I totally forgot my last therapist asked me to do the writing activity whenever I have negative self talk. I did it for awhile, but took time off work and forgot to keep it up. Thanks for reminding me! Found your channel thanks to your awesome Arcane vids, and am checking out the other content I'm interested in. Keep up the awesome work! Your videos are thought provoking and I love it.
Yeah, I found her through her Wednesday videos. I'm guessing that when she analyzes popular pieces of media, it's showing up in the fans' feeds, and she DEFINITELY needs more recognition if it took me this long to find her, so I hope it keeps working like that.
My whole personality as a person is based on my overthinking, I end up being considered a nerd and someone who is almost a fortune teller just because I quote " you seems to aways know what to say ". Anything that happens is motive to me to think atleast 10 times in different ways. I will most likely overthink about this comment so much after posting it 😅.
This is exactly how I meditate. When I have a negative thought, I'll acknowledge it and then make a plan and move on. It's weird how meditation is therapy for one
therapy, in a lot of ways, is assisted self reflection. Meditation also has a lot of notions of self reflection and coming to terms with your inner workings. I am very glad you found what works for you!
hi georgia i just wanted to say i love your videos and a lot of them have helped me in so many ways this video in particular, keep up the great work as always and have a great life
Thank you so much! I've had issues with this and what you said helped. In naming solutions and thinking about what I could do differently, acknowledging that there was a lesson there and it wasn't just pointless, I felt something shift and I felt better. Honestly, thank you!
As a compulsive thought cycler...yes! This! I will try this technique, I've sort of done it, but not quite like you've explained, so I'm excited to try! Something I've done that helps in certain situations, if it's a thought that I've actually managed to acknowledged why the memory bothers me so much - I recreate the memory where I handle things differently or things play out differently. This doesn't work for everything, but for some things I've found it helpful. I got the idea when learning about how the stories we tell ourselves about our own lives shape our self perception and therefore the way we move through life. So what happens is I take my revised story, where my needs were met or I said or did something better, then whenever the old crappy memory crops up again, I toss that recreated memory at it, and I consciously decide to move on. That acknowledgement that "this made me feel undervalued/misunderstood/isolated" followed by a sort of fantasy version where I wasn't feeling those things, and felt their positive counterparts instead can let me move on...at least in that moment. it's not about believing the fantasy, it's about allow myself to experience it, and accept the positive things it tells me about myself and my own worth. I think this will work way better if I fully employ the method you've laid out first; essentially fully processing the memory, maybe it'll crop up less often. I came to your youtube channel for the Arcane reactions, but I'm staying for the thought provoking therapy shorts! :)
I have this journal with a button-clasp and a small holder for a pen that I only use just for this journal. I write down all the whats that are tearing me apart before it gets too bad, to sort of get them out and then I close the journal and mentally say they safe there, so I can think of other things. It's mostly questions about how worthless and stupid I am, does the why still need to be there for those too? Or is it ok that it's just the whats in there?
The why is really helpful cause it helps you figure out why you say these mean things to yourself and what pain they are from. That allows you to let them go, That is not my thoughts it was from that childhood bully. then you can write what you would say if your friend said this. Let me know how it goes
@@GeorgiaDow I tried really hard, I manage to identify a couple of origins for a couple of the thoughts, but a lot of them I can't get past the 'because it's true'-barrier. Is it possible they are thoughts I came up with myself? And if they are, then they are true? I do feel a little lighter from solving the ones I did, I managed to shower today. That felt really nice! But I don't know how to solve the other ones
A Blast from the past. Georgia Dow fans are likely to like zefranks earlier work that sometimes had a psychology focus and were well done. Since they are from 10 years ago worth a small bump.

What if you *don't* believe you've learned something from the experience? I ask cause almost all the things I ruminate over are things that I physically don't have better solutions for that don't involve some sort of time machine and learning or obtaining something that I can't get anymore.
I am married and I feel is not a healthy one. But I don´t know how to forgive... and he is trying but even I think a solution is not the right one... Can you give some examples?
Gracias gracias gracias. Pasé por una situación desagradable por mis problemas de abandono ansioso y respondí reactivamente con violencia, eso me dejó sin otra opción que irme para hacerme responsable del dolor que causé. De eso ya van 3 años y aunque he avanzado en el proceso de sanación, aún tengo ataques de pánico que me llevan a tener pensamientos suicidas, cuando tengo que exponer mi caso frente a grupos de personas que no conocen mi historia. uf Me gustaría poder enmendar los daños que provoque, reparar a la gente que hice doler. Qué se yo. Un abrazo desde Abya Yala herida por la colonia De una persona trans no binaria que aún lo intenta
But the things are so awful I don’t want to write them down, I just want them to leave. And they aren’t necessarily memories (other than memory of having the terrible thought) but they are just awful disturbing thoughts that make feel awful, ashamed, disgusted. I think I may have some kind of ocd issue but idk
This is more for negative mean statements on you. If the trauma is deep it may be better to deal with it with a therapist instead as that can be hard to deal with alone

5:33 "I am better. I AM BETTER!" Homelander territory
I am the worst when it comes to overthinking so I'll definitely be using some of these tips
👈 Decided to make a plan to stop overthinking.
Overthought overthinking plan.
Like Homer Simpson, me and my brain are tentative allies at best.... Appreciate all these videos!
Technology is what sent us all to this page! This is meant to be a safe space. Begone, satan! 😂
Thank you lady! This video is very helpful for me!

These one was much needed, sometimes it’s so hard to acknowledge our feelings, let alone make peace with them... thank you!
