And actually, when you looked at how that would be applied in the room with someone when you're working with someone, it was sort of really, really limited and how helpful it could be. You know, if someone came back with some kind of mood diary in which they'd kind of added a scale of... And you get this a lot on apps, don't you? You know, rate how you feel today out of 10 and...

really doesn't tell you much at all because you don't feel it on a scale you don't feel a number you've have a set of feelings and um that are kind of different and sometimes deep and sometimes complex and sometimes confusing and it's our sort of um often it's when people are trying to kind of sell something around mental health that they try to make it really simple um but it's okay that it's not i think what's your advice for people who are overthinking everything

Well, I think this is actually a really popular subject online. People, I think it's something lots of people are dealing with. And that's because I think the way that life is set up now, right? We're all expected to do... All the technology that we have, in theory, life should be really easy. It was all sold to us as if that will make life easier and you'll have more time on your hands.

And actually, all that happened was we increased our expectation about how much we get done and how much we can handle. And so... What we're dealing with in terms of mental load is so much more than what, you know, would have. And actually, you know, the way that life is set up now, away from traditional roles where, you know, a man might go out to work and a woman would take care of the family.

Those things were separated. But now both people are trying to do both. Actually, you're both taking on two full-time jobs. And so the mental load is there. And so it makes sense that people are living at a higher level of stress all the time. And when your stress level, your arousal level is higher, you're more vulnerable to overthinking.

So a lot of people think I'm overthinking something because there's something wrong with me or I'm just a worrier. And I always say to people, don't label yourself as just a worrier because that gives you that sense that you can't overturn it or you can't do anything about it. which is wrong.

You know, it's a habit as much as anything else, but it's also something that is more likely to happen when you're already stressed. So, you know, if someone came into the room with me and said, you know, I'm just overthinking everything, what shall I do? Actually, what we would look at is
