Are you tired of that same old rehashed personal growth advice that all seems to boil down to?

Think positively and all your problems will go away.

If affirmations feel like lies and positive thinking feels like denial,

then I want you to get ready.

The overwhelmed brain is here to help you create the life you want now. Hello, this is Paul Kolyani, host of the overwhelmed brain, the Personal Growth Show, for the Critical Thinker.

Every week I discuss practical down-to-earth steps

to help you improve your mood, your sanity,

your relationships, and almost everything else in your life.

We'll talk about why we do the things we do and what we can do to reach higher levels of happiness and lower levels of stress and overwhelm.

I want to help you create positive changes in your world.

My goal is to help you step into your power with every episode

and I'll do whatever it takes to help you discover the resources you need to create

the life you want.

Today's episode is all about the power of positive thinking.

Okay, wait, I mean repressed emotions that cause harm to the

body. I forgot today it was going to be about the destructive power of

positive thinking but during my outlining process, which takes about two full days,

this particular episode turned into more of what happens to our body when repressed thoughts and emotions are withheld.

I'm not against positive thinking at all.

In fact, I highly encourage it when it's authentic.

What I mean is if you have natural positive thoughts about

someone or something where you don't have to force yourself to think positively
