I hold an Honours MA in Philosophy, and I have been an overthinker my entire life. I twist ideas until they show me their underside, and for a long time I thought that was something to manage. Then something changed, and I realized it was something to use.

I have always been drawn to philosophy and logic, and I have always been attuned to what people around me are feeling, sometimes so much that strangers start sharing things with me on the street while I am walking my dog. At the same time, I have needed help with my own thoughts and emotions.

After a long period of feeling down and caught in internal conflict, I discovered a logic-based approach to working with my own thinking. What resonated was the chance to realize things privately, on my own.

We cannot control much in life, but we can notice how we think and start to explore it. That takes time and patience, and even small shifts can feel unexpectedly good. When a thought or belief is reflected upon, it may change the way you see others and yourself. You may find yourself wanting more of that feeling.

I started working with friends and family and slowly gained the confidence to work with others, helping them untangle their thoughts and understand the beliefs behind their emotions.

StillPoint Logic grew from there. I wanted to take this process of applying logic to the thoughts we live by and make it available to anyone who has felt that their own mind was working against them. Each episode and each post takes one familiar thought and traces it back to where it started. The goal is to open the thought up and show you there are more options than you assumed.

When logic is an option, the mind cannot argue its way back to the old story. That is what I wanted people to feel.
