Synopsis

What if your thoughts that feel most convincing...aren't actually telling the whole truth?

If you've ever found yourself stuck in anxious loops, second-guessing your decisions, or feeling like your mind is working against you - there is nothing wrong with you. Your brain is doing what it learned to do: protect you.

But protection doesn't always feel peaceful.

In Why Your Brain Lies to You (And How to Talk Back!), What to do when your thoughts mislead you, licensed professional counselor Shannon Gutheil offers a compassionate and practical guide to understanding why your thoughts can feel so loud, urgent, and convincing - especially during times of change.

Written in a warm therapist-to-reader style, this book helps you understand the deeper patterns behind anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, burnout, ADHD overwhelm, and life transitions such as midlife shifts, career changes, caregiving, divorce, and hormonal changes.

Rather than teaching you to silence your thoughts or "think positive," this book shows you how to build a healthier relationship with your mind and nervous system - one that allows clarity, steadiness, and self-trust to return.

Inside this book, you'll learn how to:

• Recognize common thinking patterns like catastrophizing, perfectionism, emotional reasoning, and rumination
• Understand why anxiety and self-doubt intensify during life transitions
• Calm your nervous system when logic alone isn't enough
• Break free from overthinking and decision paralysis
• Rebuild confidence and self-trust after burnout, stress, or change
• Talk back to unhelpful thoughts with clarity and compassion

This book is especially helpful to women navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, hormonal shifts, identity changes, and the quiet pressure of feeling like you should have everything figured out by now.

You don't need to eliminate every anxious thought to feel better.

You only need to learn how to respond differently.

Your thoughts don't need to disappear to stop running your life. They need to be held differently.

If you're ready for a calmer, kinder relationship with your mind, this book will meet you exactly where you are.
