81. From Spiraling to Soothing: Stop Catastrophizing
In this solo episode, Grace explores one of the most common mental habits that keeps people stuck in chronic symptoms and fear: catastrophizing. She breaks down why the brain defaults to worst-case-scenario thinking, how it impacts the nervous system, and what we can do instead to move through these spirals with presence and compassion.
Grace offers practical tools to help you recognize catastrophic thinking in the moment and shift into soothing, grounded awareness—so that fear doesn’t have to run the show.
In this episode, she shares:
- What catastrophizing is (and why your brain does it)
- How spiraling feeds the chronic pain and anxiety loop
- Why your symptoms may be rooted in emotional suppression—not structural damage
- Tools to ride the emotional wave instead of resisting it
- How to reframe spirals and signal safety back to your body
