Скачать или смотреть Why Do Certain Thoughts Keep Repeating Even When the Moment Has Passed?

Some thoughts repeat because the brain is trying to protect you. It holds onto experiences that felt intense or meaningful as a way to stay prepared.

Even after a situation is over, the body may still be bracing. That lingering readiness can make everyday moments feel heavier, more effortful, or harder to move through.

Brief check-ins during the day can help the nervous system recalibrate. Pausing to ask, “How are we doing right now?” offers the brain new information about safety in the present moment.

With repetition, these moments of awareness build regulation. Over time, the brain learns that it does not need to stay on guard to stay safe.
