Overthinking & Anxiety
|
|
Does this sound familiar?
If so, you're not alone. It's far more common than many people know. This is one of the most common reasons people in Newcastle and across Australia, contact me.
Outwardly, you may still seem capable, responsible, and in control.
But on the inside, it can feel very different.
Your mind keeps going.
Your body stays tense.
And even when nothing is wrong, it can feel like something might be.
You might notice:
• constant overthinking or difficulty switching your mind off
• replaying conversations or analysing situations long after they’ve happened
• second-guessing decisions or worrying about getting things wrong
• feeling mentally “on” even when there’s nothing urgent happening
• irritability or emotional reactions closer to the surface
• difficulty relaxing or being fully present
Stress and anxiety can also show up physically in the body, for example:
• tension headaches or tight shoulders
• difficulty sleeping or waking with a busy mind
• digestive issues or IBS-type symptoms
• a racing heart or sense of internal restlessness
• fatigue from your system always being “on”
For many people, this isn’t simply a workload or time-management issue.
When these internal pressure patterns are active, the nervous system stays in a state of alertness and vigilance. Even when you consciously know things are okay, your system continues operating as if it needs to stay on guard.
In this state:
• rest doesn’t fully restore you
• your mind struggles to switch off
• logic doesn’t settle the worry
• internal pressure continues building beneath a composed exterior
How This Work Helps
Anxiety and overthinking are rarely just “thinking problems.”
They are patterns held within both the mind and the nervous system.
When those patterns stay active, the system remains in a cycle of vigilance, pressure, and mental overactivity — even when you consciously know things are okay.
The work I do focuses on resolving these underlying patterns so the system can settle and new responses can naturally take their place.
As that internal pressure begins to ease, people often notice:
• their mind becoming quieter
• feeling calmer and more emotionally steady
• being able to think clearly without constant second-guessing
• situations that once triggered anxiety often becoming a 'non-issue'
Many people describe feeling lighter, happier, and more like themselves again.

Amy had suffered with anxiety since her childhood. When she came to see Rebekah she was feeling very negative, had bad depression and was struggling with how she felt on a day to day basis. After just a few sessions, Amy now feels light, confident and so much happier! She no longer wakes up tired and is able to trust her decisions, and really trust herself. Amy's life has completely changed and this has also benefited her family. She's seen a shift in her mood, she's able to be fully present, enjoys stronger relationships and is now teaching her children about more positive mindsets. If you're struggling with anxiety or depression and you'd like to learn more, book a consultation with me. Then we can discuss your issues and a plan to move forward.
