  • Why You're Addicted to Thinking (And What to Do Instead) | Alex Olshonksy

    Why You're Addicted to Thinking (And What to Do Instead) | Alex Olshonksy
    Jun 16 2026
    In this episode, Alex Olshonsky explores why you’re addicted to thinking, nd what to do instead. Drawing from his journey through addiction, recovery, meditation, and somatic psychology, Alex argues that overthinking is often a way of avoiding difficult emotions.

Along the way, Eric and Alex discuss recovery, spiritual practice, the role of the body in healing, and practical ways to find more freedom from the endless loop of thoughts.
