Talking openly with trusted people and God about one's struggles helps to diminish the power that anxiety has over them.

“I feel like even the times in my life when I talk out loud to God or tell like or I just shared with Maddie like, "Hey, this just random thing is bothering me." It almost like makes it lose its power a little bit over me kind of.”

A effective strategy for dealing with overthinking is the realization that one should not believe every thought that enters their mind.

“my therapist who we did a project together and I'm excited about it, but he literally this simple phrase, it's so simple. Don't believe everything you think.”
