Overthinking: Mapped & Solved

Proven by Science, Designed for Understanding

The complete physiology of a mind that won’t shut off: the allostatic loops firing between story, appraisal, brain chemistry and body, and the three Juniper layers that close them. Flip the switches below and watch it change.

Why my mind won't shut off about it

That person. That mistake. That task I haven't done. I can't win against it by thinking harder. Follow the red loop below: it circles endlessly.

the loop: circling with no close a layer coming into line mind body

These three layers hold only when they move together: bedrock, trunk, and canopy as one tree. Working them as a whole, and mapping the exact steps to yours, is what Demetri does with you. See the techniques behind each layer
