Your Brain Is Wired to Assume the Worst

Your brain doesn't catastrophize because you're anxious. It catastrophizes because it's running a threat-detection algorithm that was built for a world where ambiguity meant danger. Logic doesn't stop it because logic isn't what drives it. This video breaks down the neuroscience of catastrophizing — the negativity bias, the Default Mode Network, the threat-inflation loop, cortisol sensitization, and the ironic process theory — and the one research-backed technique (cognitive defusion) that actually interrupts the cycle without fighting it.
