New Paths Counselling

If your mind keeps asking “what if…” you’re not broken.
You’re stuck in a safety loop.

“What if” thinking feels like problem-solving…
but it often keeps you on high alert. It creates a cycle of trying to find certainty when that often isn't realistic, but we keep trying and thinking....

Try this exit ramp:

1)Name it: “This is a what-if loop.”
2) Bring yourself into this present moment (your breath, some movement, noticing what's around you, etc.).
3) Choose one small next step in the present.

Save this for later 🤍
