There is a fine line between being compulsive and being conscious, I tell you this because it is very easy to believe that you are being vulnerable when the truth is you're controlling. 

Control makes us feel safe and being safe doesn’t build character. The gag is...it takes strength to be vulnerable; whilst you cannot be strong AND vulnerable, being vulnerable it’s a choice you make, it’s not something that just happens. Being vulnerable is a challenge because that’s when you not only recognise where you may be weak or broken but, what you need to heal and be strengthened. 

On this episode I dissect where my comfort in overthinking comes from, I talk about identifying as the, “crying clown” and how I shut down for a month because I, instead of processing my experiences...I just opened tab after tab of thoughts in my head and ended up crashing like a computer.
