You might be here because…

  • You can explain exactly why you do what you do, but you still keep doing it. You've traced every pattern back to childhood, identified your attachment wounds, read all the books — but the insight loop never ends.

  • Your therapist has told you "you're very insightful" and you want to scream. Being insightful hasn't helped. You're tired of being the most self-aware person you know while still being completely stuck.

  • You intellectualize your feelings instead of feeling them. Someone asks "how do you feel?" and you launch into an analysis of the situation. You live in your head because your body feels too dangerous.

  • You've exhausted the self-help industrial complex. Podcasts, books, journaling, meditation apps, therapy homework — you've done it all. You could teach a masterclass on your patterns. Nothing has actually changed.

  • People tell you to "stop overthinking" like it's that simple. If you could just turn it off, you would have by now. Overthinking isn't a choice — it's how you've survived.

  • Weekly therapy feels like Groundhog Day. You spend 50 minutes explaining your week, your therapist reflects back what you already know, and you leave feeling temporarily seen but fundamentally unchanged.

Why thinking about it isn't working:

  • Insight ≠ change: Understanding why you do something doesn't automatically stop you from doing it

  • Your brain is trying to solve an emotional problem with logic: Overthinking is often a way to avoid feeling

  • Analysis keeps you safe: If you're in your head, you don't have to be in your body feeling things

  • Weekly talk therapy reinforces the pattern: 50 minutes of talking about your feelings isn't the same as experiencing them

  • You need experiential work, not more insight

How experiential therapy helps overthinkers

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT):

  • Gets you out of your head and into your body

  • Helps you access and experience emotions instead of just naming them

  • Uses present-moment awareness rather than retrospective analysis

Therapy intensives:

  • Extended sessions (3-9 hours) give you time to move past your defenses

  • You can't think your way out in 3 hours—you have to actually feel

  • Momentum that weekly 50-minute sessions can't provide

Process groups:

  • Real-time relational practice (you can't overthink your way through group)

  • Immediate feedback from others helps you see what you can't see alone

  • Affordable ongoing experiential work

Who this is for:

  • You can explain exactly why you do what you do, but you still keep doing it. You've analyzed your childhood, identified your attachment style, traced every pattern back to its roots—and nothing has changed.

  • Your therapist has called you "very insightful" but insight doesn't seem to help. You're tired of being the smartest person in the room about your own problems while still being completely stuck.

  • You intellectualize feelings instead of feeling them. When someone asks how you feel, you explain what you think about the situation. Your head is running constantly; your body is numb.

  • You've read all the self-help books, listened to all the podcasts, journaled extensively. You could teach a course on your patterns. But knowing ≠ changing, and you're exhausted from the gap between the two.

  • You're ready to get out of your head, even though it's terrifying. Your brain has kept you safe by keeping you distant from your emotions. You're ready to try something experiential instead of intellectual.

  • You want depth work, not more surface-level coping. You don't need another therapist nodding while you explain yourself for 50 minutes. You need something that actually moves you.

This might NOT be right if:

  • You're in acute crisis and need stabilization first

  • You prefer cognitive/skills-based approaches (CBT, DBT)

  • You're not ready to move beyond insight and analysis

  • You want someone to tell you what to do
