Why do we rehearse conversations in our heads before they happen?
It’s not weird — it’s actually your brain trying to protect you.
When you mentally “practice” a conversation, your mind is: ✨ trying to avoid conflict ✨ preparing for emotional reactions ✨ managing anxiety about being misunderstood ✨ creating a sense of control ✨ reducing uncertainty
This is a prediction mechanism. Your brain believes that if it can rehearse the moment, it can prevent embarrassment, rejection, or mistakes.
In this video, we explore the psychology behind mental rehearsing, why it’s common for overthinkers and people-pleasers, and how to break the cycle so you can speak more confidently in real life.
