Overthinking

Ever been unable to sleep because a conversation with a colleague earlier in the day kept going around and around in your head? Ever worried that a particular comment you made to a friend may have offended them and you just couldn't get it out of your mind? Ever been so distracted by thoughts of something that you're not mentally present either at work or with your children? If so, then you've been a victim of Overthinking, the topic of this week's episode.But is 'victim' the right word? Does overthinking always justify its negative connotations, or can it actually be beneficial to us? Bev and Marina ponder this and many other questions with their usual mix of insight, relatability and humour. When it comes to making life As Good As It Gets, how do we find the balance between giving something the thought and energy it warrants and deserves, and thinking about something to the point that it becomes obsessive and unhealthy?
