What It Really Means If You Keep Rehearsing Arguments in Your Head

If you keep rehearsing arguments in your head, you’re not “crazy” or “dramatic.” For a lot of people, it’s the brain’s way of trying to create safety—by running a mental rehearsal for conversations that feel uncertain, risky, or emotionally loaded. In this video, we break down the arguing in your head psychology behind that habit, and why it can feel so hard to stop once it starts. You’ll learn the difference between rumination vs problem solving—when mental rehearsal is actually helpful, and when it turns into a loop that drains your energy. We also talk about how this can overlap with intrusive thoughts and rumination, and why anxiety and overthinking often make the “argument replay” more intense. Sometimes this pattern is simply mental simulation psychology (a normal way to prepare and process). Other times it becomes a stress response that keeps your nervous system stuck on alert. Finally, you’ll get practical strategies for how to stop rumination—including grounding in the body, writing the “script” once, choosing one real-world next step, and time-boxing your mental prep so it doesn’t take over your day. Question for you: what’s the argument you’ve replayed the most that you’ve never actually had?
