Women Who Think Too Much: How to break free of overthinking and reclaim your life

Product Information

Probably THE most relatable book I’ve ever read. I will probably read it over and over! One of those books that makes you say - So it’s not just me!

The arc of history is littered with examples of this ( the one-time pervasive medical diagnosis of “female hysteria” being but one small example ) and remnants of this mindset linger still today in the way society collectively attempts (and succeeds) at silencing, objectifying, labelling, and keeping women small: Small in size (“Don’t get fat!”); Small in volume (“Don’t be so shrill!”); Small in accomplishments (“Isn’t being a mother and wife enough for you?”); Small in financial prosperity ( .79 cents for every dollar a man makes. ); and so on. Muchness is, what I imagine, happens when a woman reclaims, owns and accepts all parts of herself despite what others would have her be/do/say. independence and opportunity. We are freer to choose what kinds of relationships to have, whether and when to have children, what careers to pursue, and what lifestyles to lead. Nolen-Hoeksema, Susan; Ganji, Hamzeh; Jahangiri, Hamideh (2020). Psychotherapy of depression in elderly Volume 3. Scholar's Press. ISBN 978-613-8-94233-7.With the negativity laid out, I am a severe over thinker. I go crazy prattling on in my mind about something simple and insignificant. This overthinking could have started with a conversation I had that I felt went negatively and explode to why I have no friends. This is dramatic of course, but has unfortunately happened. It was nice to hear this was normal and more common in women. I know if I tell my boyfriend or father about something I am worried about they think I'm crazy and weird for worrying about something so trivial.

Autorė papasakoja, kodėl "overthinking" būdingas būtent moterims, kokios jo priežastys, kaip jį atpažinti, kokiomis priemonėmis sustabdyti ir jo išvengti. That’s what we as humans do. We project all over one another if we don’t make the unconscious conscious. This is the most familiar type of overthinking which usually centers on some wrong we believe has been done to us. Women prone to this kind of overthinking tend to take on an air of wounded self-righteousness and focus on designing retribution that will severely sting our victimizers. The first part of chapter one mentions the unprecedented growth in independence and opportunities experienced by women over the past forty years as well as the fact that women are twice as likely as men to become severely depressed or anxious. In your experience, have the liberating legal and societal changes of the late twentieth century simultaneously created new constraints for women? I don't know why it is titled : "Women who think too much". I think the book is relevant to both men and women.

Stari moj, trebalo mi je "samo" sedam mjeseci da ju zgotovim! Uvijek su se neki drugi naslovi ubacivali prije.. Prvih stotinjak stranica jako naporno i dosadno jer se navode nepresusni izvori raznih testiranja.
