About the show

You are not overthinking because you are broken. You are overthinking because life keeps handing you complicated situations with absolutely no instruction manual. Welcome to The Overthinker’s Handbook, the podcast for anyone who has ever replayed a conversation 47 times, tried to understand someone who makes absolutely no sense, questioned their own reactions, or wondered, What am I supposed to do with this? Hosted by relationship and breakup coach Angelika Koch, The Overthinker’s Handbook is a raw, honest, and sometimes uncomfortably relatable exploration of relationships, attachment, heartbreak, identity, confidence, mental health, work, wellness, and the strange realities of being human. We talk about the big heartbreaks and the oddly specific struggles nobody seems to prepare you for: emotional unavailability, anxious and avoidant attachment, starting over after a breakup, dating, friendships, family patterns, women navigating professional spaces, burnout, body changes, self-image, loneliness, healing, and everything that happens in between.
