In this insightful episode of the Living to Thrive with Cancer podcast, Kathryn White tackles the common experience of getting stuck in thought loops—those repetitive, stressful mental spirals that often follow mistakes or self-doubt. Especially for those navigating a cancer journey, these loops can lead to heightened stress, decreased self-trust, and emotional fatigue.

Kathryn shares how to recognize when you’re caught in a loop, the impact these patterns can have on your nervous system, and four practical tools to shift your mindset and support your healing. With warmth and wisdom, she invites listeners to replace judgment with self-compassion and move forward with greater peace and clarity.
Listen in to learn:
- What a thought loop is and how it affects healing
- Why self-compassion matters more than perfection
- Tools to get unstuck and reduce mental stress
- How to trust your decisions and move forward confidently
