Module 1: Understanding the Need for External Validation
The Psychology Behind Overthinking
Overthinking is our mind’s attempt to guard against uncertainty, but it can trap us in endless worry. Recognizing why your brain defaults to this mode helps you break free from the cycle and restore mental calm.
Identifying Your Triggers
Identifying your triggers means tuning into the cues that spark sudden shifts in your emotions or thoughts. By logging and examining these moments, you learn to predict—and ultimately control—your responses instead of being ruled by them.

People-pleasing behaviors can camouflage your true feelings, leading to inner conflict and burnout. By examining when and why you say “yes” to others, you’ll reclaim your voice and learn to honor your own needs without guilt.
Why We Seek Approval from Others
Seeking approval from others often begins as a survival instinct but can turn into a self-defeating habit. By understanding its origins and learning to prioritize your own self-worth, you free yourself from the constant drive to be validated by others.

Communicating needs effectively starts with understanding them yourself, then expressing them clearly and respectfully to others. This approach builds healthier relationships by ensuring everyone’s boundaries and well-being are acknowledged.
