Overfeeling Without Contact
Most people think of anxiety as a thinking problem: too many thoughts, too fast, too overwhelming. But what looks like overthinking is often overfeeling that hasn’t found contact.
Anxiety becomes the dominant signal when emotion is trying to surface but can’t find language, safety, or space to land. It’s not just mental chatter, it’s emotional overload without integration.
The mind spins when the body can't speak.
You may think you’re being irrational, but the deeper truth is often that your system is flooded.
The nervous system doesn’t just react to ideas—it reacts to what hasn’t been felt fully.
Anxiety is what happens when emotional intensity is high, but relational or internal connection is low.
You can't slow down no matter how much you analyze.
Every solution feels incomplete because no solution is emotional contact.
You're exhausted by your own internal noise—but underneath, you’re actually scared to touch the silence.
Instead of challenging the thoughts, track the feeling trying to emerge underneath them.
Name what’s raw or disorganized.
Let your nervous system feel seen—not fixed.
Anxiety isn’t always about the stories in your head. Sometimes, it’s about a truth in your body that hasn’t been touched.
