    182. How to Help Your Overthinking Clients (Part 1)

    What do you do when you have clients who get stuck in overthinking? When your client is in their own head, as if they could sit around and get lost thinking about things forever, they might perceive this as a good thing. Sure, thinking is important.

    Tune in this week to discover how to help your overthinking clients. I share how to spot whether your client’s line of thinking is serving them, and you’ll learn how to work together with your clients to help them slow down their overthinking and start taking action instead.
