Can't Stop Thinking - Talking Anxiety with Nancy Colier

are you stuck inside your own head?

In today’s world, it’s easy to get stuck in an endless loop of negative thoughts. Maybe you have tried to think your way out of one of these thought cycles, throwing more thoughts on the pile until you’re left with an out-of-control bonfire of anxiety, self-criticism, resentment and hopelessness.

Nancy Colier is a psychotherapist, interfaith minister, mindfulness teacher, and author. She has a new book out, “Can’t Stop Thinking: How to Let Go of Anxiety And Free Yourself from Obsessive Rumination.” She talked with John Bauer on the Friday Morning Show.
