The Psychology of Over-Explaining: Why You Keep Justifying Yourself (and How It Drains You)
Season 1 Episode 250
Why do you constantly feel the need to explain yourself—even when it's not necessary?
This episode unpacks the psychology of over-explaining, a hidden trauma response that often stems from people-pleasing, rejection sensitivity, shame, and nervous system dysregulation.
🎙️ In this video, you'll learn:
*Why over-explaining is not clarity—it's a control response
*The neuroscience behind your urge to justify everything
*How unresolved childhood patterns fuel the need to "prove" yourself
*What it says about your boundaries, self-worth, and energy leaks
*Tangible scripts and mindset shifts to finally stop over-explaining If you're tired of feeling misunderstood, drained, or guilty for saying "no," this episode will help you break the pattern and reclaim your emotional energy.
