Goals of the group

The space where we can allow yourself to over-think than pushing it away (we know by now ""hey don't think about it" or "you are over-thinking, stop" never goes well with our thinking juices!) and understand what is our mind really trying to convey, avoid, distract or notice under the disguise of overthinking. At the core of overthinking, is the feelings of anxiety which might form a cloud of overthinking but what is this big cloud really blurring/trying to speak?

We don't intend on building a 5 step formula to say ""bye bye"" to overthinking because the core part of understanding the way our mind works is not to avoid but to understand what the purpose of these processes is and how we can learn to co-exist with this part of us. We will be exploring different ways as a group to cope with the cloud of overthinking that mostly comes in the way of making decisions. Individuals experiencing similar feelings and situations can offer support to each other.

Who is the group for?

The group is designed for anyone who feels a lot, thinks a lot and wishes to bring their unique ways of thinking in a collective space to work through the process of overthinking. The objective is to develop a healthy relationship by understanding the possible reasons why our mind goes down the spiral and making meaning out of it than "thought stopping."

Glimpse of the regime

Session 1: Introduction and Orientation

Establish group norms, build rapport, and define overthinking.
- Icebreaker and introductions.
- Psycho-education: What is overthinking? (Rumination vs. Problem-solving)
- Group discussion: Personal experiences with overthinking.

Session 2: Observation vs. Interpretation

To distinguish between objective facts and subjective judgments, which often fuel overthinking.
- Provide a list of common overthinking triggers (e.g., “My friend didn’t reply to my text”).
- Ask participants to separate:

Observation: The fact (e.g., “My friend hasn’t replied for 2 days”).
Interpretation: The assumption or story they tell themselves (e.g., “They’re upset with me”).

- Facilitate a group discussion:
• How does focusing on interpretations contribute to overthinking?
• How might focusing on observations help reduce mental loops?

Takeaway: Teach that overthinking often arises from interpretations, not facts.

Session 3: Empathy for Self-Talk

To transform critical self-talk into compassionate self-connection.
Ask participants to write down recurring critical thoughts (e.g., “I’m so bad at decision-making”).

Guide them to reframe these thoughts empathetically using NVC language:
Original thought: “I always mess up.”
Reframe: “I feel discouraged because I need to trust myself more.”

Invite participants to share their reframes in the group.

Optional: Practice self-empathy phrases like, “It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. What do I need right now?”

Session 4: Mindfulness V/S Overthinking

- Introduce mindfulness as a tool to stay present.
- Guided mindfulness exercise (e.g., focusing on the breath or a body scan).
- Group discussion: Challenges in staying present.
- Practise: Self stroking

Learn from us & from each other

  • Biggest benefit has been listening and learning about what other people are thinking

    Overthinking and insomnia

  • I just had a very emotional discussion. It was probably one of the most helpful things for me in years.

    Relationships getting affected

  • I'd give it a 10 [out of 10]. I'm surprised at how vulnerable and open everyone was in the first session.

More about Support Groups & Therapy Groups:

1. What is an online therapy or support group?

Online therapy groups or support groups are structured, therapist-led sessions where participants gather virtually to discuss and work on specific mental health or personal growth topics.

These groups offer a supportive environment and help members learn coping strategies and relevant techniques from the therapist. Participants offer each other encouragement, share advice, and provide emotional support, helping one another feel less isolated.

2. What benefits can I expect from joining an online therapy group or support group?

Participants in online therapy groups often experience improved mental health, a greater sense of connection, and enhanced coping skills. Group therapy provides structured guidance from a therapist, which can lead to valuable insights and personal growth.

3. How does online group therapy compare to one-on-one therapy?

One-on-one therapy is personalized, focusing solely on your needs, which can be ideal for in-depth, private work with a therapist.

Online group therapy, however, offers a sense of community and shared experience. In addition to learning from the therapist, members get to connect with others facing similar challenges. Group settings provide diverse perspectives and reduce isolation, which participants find valuable.

4. Are online groups effective?

Yes, studies show that online groups can be as effective as in-person groups. The online format provides convenience and accessibility while offering the same structured therapeutic benefits, especially for those who prefer the comfort of their home environment.

5. Will I have to share my personal journey in the group?

Sharing is encouraged but never forced. Participants are free to share only what they feel comfortable with, and many find that opening up gradually is natural and helpful for their own growth.

6. How do online therapy groups or support groups handle difficult emotions that arise?

The therapist leading the group is trained to manage challenging emotions. They provide tools and strategies for coping, helping participants process feelings safely.

7. Can I attend online therapy groups if I’m already in individual therapy?

Yes, many people find that group therapy superbly complements individual therapy, providing additional insights and social support, thus accelerating their healing. Also, users often join group therapy for a topic that they are not focusing on in their individual therapy sessions. Often, therapists themselves recommend their clients to group therapy for a specific area of their life.

8. How do I know if a support group is right for me?

If you’re looking for shared experiences and emotional support rather than structured therapeutic guidance, a support group may be ideal. Otherwise, consider a therapy group for a more structured approach.

You can also join more than one group if you feel it will benefit you, especially if each group focuses on a different aspect of your mental health journey.
