    When Your Head and Heart Don’t Agree: 2 Therapy Tools to Help You Feel More Aligned

    Have you ever understood something in your head, but still not felt it, believed it, or acted on it? You can know something logically. You can analyse it, rationalise it, talk it through and understand exactly what you “should” do. And yet somehow, you still feel stuck. Your emotions haven’t caught up, you just don’t quite believe what you know. Or you keep finding yourself acting in ways that don’t match what you know In this episode, we’re exploring the head-heart gap, the space between what you think and what you actually feel, believe and do. This is very common in therapy I (Carly Ann) talk about how logic alone don’t always create the change you crave I also share two practical therapy tools to help you begin closing the gap between your head and your heart If you’ve ever thought, “I know this in my head, so why can’t I just feel it or act on it?”, this episode is for you.

    Can’t Stop Obsessing Over Someone? Listen to This Soothing, Grounding & Honest Talk from a Therapist That Has Been There Too

    Can’t stop replaying a conversation, analysing someone’s behaviour, or obsessing over what they really meant? Whether it’s an ex, a boss, a friend, or someone else in your life, relational interactions can sometimes take over your entire mind, making it hard to focus on anything else. In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the part of you that is overthinking, spiralling, checking, replaying, and searching for answers. The part of you that feels like you need to figure this person or situation out before you can finally feel okay. As a therapist who has been there too, I offer a soothing, grounding, and honest conversation to help you step out of the mental loop. This isn’t about pretending you don’t care or forcing yourself to “just move on.” It’s about understanding what’s happening, calming the obsession, and gently bringing your attention and your power back to where it belongs: with you. If this situation is consuming your thoughts and you’re ready to regain control, clarity, and emotional freedom, this episode is for you. ⁠⁠Work with Carly Ann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠

    How to Stop Overtexting When You’re Triggered

    Do you find yourself staring at your phone, rewriting the same text, checking if they’ve replied, and fighting the urge to send “just one more message”? Maybe you overtext when you feel ignored, rejected, anxious, triggered, or unsure where you stand. You send the paragraph, double text, triple text, ask for reassurance, and then regret it the second you hit send. You’re not alone. And you’re not “too much.” Your nervous system is looking for relief. This podcast is for the overthinkers, the anxious texters, the people who hate waiting for a reply, and anyone who has ever thought, “Why did I send that?” I’ll share practical ways to calm yourself down, regulate those intense emotions, break the urge to text, and create space between the trigger and the message, so you can stop texting from anxiety and start responding from a calmer place. Less chasing. Less overthinking. Less regret. More calm, clarity, and control. ⁠⁠Work with Carly Ann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠

    Strengthen Your Toolbox | A Therapist’s Framework for Becoming Less Triggered

    If you find yourself getting triggered by certain people, situations at work, recurring patterns, or falling into unhealthy habits that feel completely out of character, this is for you. I’m Carly Ann, and I’ve worked with thousands of people who desperately want to change the cycle of overthinking, obsessing, and having big reactions that can feel irrational, even when you know you’re not responding the way you want to. Over the years, I’ve developed a framework that helps strengthen your ability to work with these patterns, so you can become less triggered over time and feel more in control of how you respond. And for the first time, I’m sharing that framework right here. ⁠⁠Work with Carly Ann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠

    Why Do I Get Triggered So Easily? A Therapist Explains 4 Reasons

    Why Do I Get Triggered So Easily? A Therapist Explains 4 Reasons Have you ever had a reaction that felt much bigger than the situation? Someone says something small, cancels plans, goes quiet or gives you criticism, and suddenly you're anxious, angry, hurt or overwhelmed. Or maybe your trigger looks more like overthinking: replaying conversations, analysing what someone meant, seeking reassurance or wondering, “Why did I react like that?” In this episode, we’ll explore what a trigger actually is and why certain situations can create such strong emotional reactions. As a therapist, I hear this regularly in the therapy room, and I'll share four key reasons behind the triggers I commonly see in therapy, including how our past experiences can influence what happens in the present. If you've ever wondered why certain people, situations or comments affect you so deeply, this episode will help you understand your reactions with more curiosity and self-compassion. Listen now to understand what's really happening when you get triggered. ⁠Work with Carly Ann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠

    If Work is Your Biggest Trigger and Makes You Feel Anxious, Listen to This

    If work has become the place where your anxiety feels the loudest, this episode is for you. Maybe Sunday evenings are just filled with dread these days, or one email can send you into hours of overthinking. Maybe you constantly question whether you're good enough, replay conversations on your drive home, worry you've said the wrong thing, or feel like you're waiting to be found out. You might tell yourself you're being too sensitive, that you should be able to cope, or that everyone else seems to handle work so much better than you do. In this episode, we're exploring why work can become such a powerful trigger for some. I talks about why your reactions often run much deeper than the job itself, how old beliefs can shape the way you experience work, pressure and success or failure. If you're lacking confidence or self-esteem at work and it's really impacting you, listen now or save for later.

    Big Emotional Reactions? Becoming the Observer Instead of Overreacting

    Hello! Have you been getting triggered and having reactions that feel out of proportion? Maybe you snapped at someone you love, shut down, felt overwhelmed, or found yourself asking "Why did I react like that?" I don't actually like the term 'over-reacting' but sometimes we call a spade a spade. A lot of the time, our biggest emotional reactions are often about more than what's happening right now. When we're triggered, our nervous system can respond from old experiences rather than the present moment, leaving us feeling stuck in patterns we don't fully understand. In this episode, I discuss key therapy insights into these big reactions (that I know you want to change). I'll also guide you through a gentle somatic practice - a simple yet effective technique that helps you step out of automatic reactions and into the role of compassionate observer. This practice creates space between the trigger and your response, helping you reconnect with yourself, regulate your emotions, and respond with greater clarity and intention. If you often feel overwhelmed by your emotions, caught in repeating relationship patterns, or frustrated that your reactions don't reflect who you truly are, this episode is for you. Come as you are. There is no judgement here, only curiosity, compassion, and practical tools to help you understand yourself more deeply and move towards greater emotional regulation, resilience, and inner peace.

    3 CBT Techniques to Stop Overthinking

    In this episode I am sharing 3 strategies that I genuinely have practiced and discuss often in my practice, these tools draw on decades of psychological research from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These are the core intervention I use day to day in practice and across my work. When I am making a list of 3, it can be so so tough to decide what to share. I am so passionate that therapy is not a one-size-fits all, but I also appreciate this is a blog and learning is a large part of doing the work. I’m sharing three that are fresh in my mind, and that I would say I discuss fairly regularly in sessions, DMs, interviews etc ⁠⁠⁠Work with Carly Ann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    A Powerful Somatic Meditation to Ease Overthinking and Self-Soothe

    When we get stuck in overthinking, it's easy to believe we need to think our way out of it. But often, what we really need is to slow down and reconnect with ourselves. This somatic meditation for overthinking is a gentle invitation to step out of your busy mind and into your body. Somatic practices help regulate the nervous system by bringing awareness to what's happening inside, helping you feel more grounded, calm, and connected. This meditation is inspired by Inner Relationship Focusing, a practice that encourages you to meet your thoughts, feelings, and sensations with kindness instead of trying to change or fix them. I first discovered it while studying for my Somatic Attachment Therapy course, and I loved how simple, compassionate, and effective it felt. It's become an important part of my own practice and the way I support others. If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or caught in a spiral of overthinking, I hope this meditation offers you a moment to pause, breathe, and come back to yourself. When you're ready, get comfortable, press play, and let me guide you.

    A Somatic Practice to Help You Stop People Pleasing

    I've recorded a somatic practice for you. A somatic practice basically helps you tune into and regulate your body and nervous system. While cognitive approaches focus on changing thoughts and beliefs, somatic work addresses the stress, emotions, and automatic patterns held in the body. For me, it all about combining both that supports lasting change when it comes to overthinking, habits, and triggers. This practice is designed for anyone who struggles with people pleasing, finds themselves self-abandoning, or regularly puts the needs of others before their own. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Carly Ann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠
