<p>Today in the Over It: When Enough is Enough series, we tackle overreacting—the one “over” that sneaks up on all of us, often when we’re already running on empty. Overreacting isn’t just frustration or anger; it’s a sign that our nervous system is depleted, our stress levels are high, and fear is running the show. In this episode, we dig into why we snap—from fatigue, chronic stress, and unmet needs to unspoken expectations and the hidden patterns that make small triggers feel enormous. </p><p>We get real about  the hidden costs of catastrophizing and uncommunicated expectations to the major realization that most overreactions are echoes of unhealed past pain. We wrap it up with tips as we learn to build in the pause and use practical tools and techniques to cool down and stop fighting battles that finished years ago. It’s time to stop the snap and reclaim the energy we need for the battles that truly matter.</p>
