**THE MODERN MIND**

# # # Why We Can't Stop Overthinking

🗓 **Sunday, August 16**
🕖 **7:00 PM (PST)**
📍 **Live from San Francisco, California, USA 🇺🇸**

Have you ever wondered...

💭 Why can't I turn my mind off?
💭 Why do I replay conversations over and over?
💭 Why do I always think, *"What if..."*?
💭 Why does overthinking leave me feeling exhausted but never give me real answers?

You're not broken.
Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

In this new LIVE series, we'll explore **the psychology and neuroscience of the modern mind** and why so many of us feel trapped in cycles of overthinking, rumination, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.

Together, we'll discuss:
✨ Why our brains get stuck in overthinking loops
✨ The difference between overthinking and problem-solving
✨ Why rumination feels impossible to stop
✨ How your brain learned these survival patterns
✨ The first step toward creating more mental freedom

This is the beginning of a new conversation about understanding our minds with **science, compassion, and practical psychology**—not judgment.

If you've ever felt mentally exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in your own thoughts, this LIVE is for you.

💙 Bring your questions.
💙 Invite a friend.
💙 Let's learn how our amazing brains work—and how we can begin changing our relationship with them.

See you LIVE!

— Dr. Akira Olsen, Psy.D.
