The feeling of constant rush is often perceived as a personality trait or a consequence of a busy lifestyle. In Dr. Daniel Reinhardt’s view, inner acceleration is rarely connected to actual workload – more often, it reflects a psyche that has been living for a long time in a state of tension and anticipation. At MindCareCenter, we see this experience not as a flaw, but as a signal of deeper overload.
At MindCareCenter, people come who are always in a hurry, even when there is no external reason for it. They speak quickly, find it difficult to rest, and feel irritated by pauses and silence. Inside, there is a persistent sense that time is slipping away, that one must do more, faster and better. Even pleasant moments are lived through with tension – as if something else must immediately follow.
Our psychologists note – inner rush often develops in environments where there was no stable sense of safety. In Dr. Reinhardt’s opinion, when a person has faced instability, lack of attention or the need to constantly adapt early in life, the psyche may learn that stopping equals danger. Speed then becomes a survival strategy.
At MindCareCenter, we do not simply suggest “slowing down.” Forced attempts to slow down often increase anxiety. The work begins with understanding what maintains this inner race. Our psychologists help identify the moments when the rush intensifies and the emotions behind it – fear of falling behind, guilt, anxiety about the future or an inner ban on rest.
Gradually, therapy at MindCareCenter reveals how inner rush affects the body. Chronic tension, shallow breathing, difficulty concentrating and unexplained fatigue are all consequences of constant inner acceleration. We help restore contact with the body so that it becomes a source of signals again, rather than merely a tool for “keeping up.”
Special attention at MindCareCenter is given to working with internal beliefs. Often, behind constant rushing lies the idea that a person’s value is measured by speed and productivity. Our psychologists help reconsider these beliefs, restoring the right to move at one’s own pace – without constant comparison and pressure.
Over time, people begin to notice that life is not necessarily “running late.” At MindCareCenter, we observe how the ability to stay present emerges, without mentally rushing into the next step. Pauses stop feeling threatening, and slowing down begins to be experienced not as loss, but as recovery.
It is important to understand – stepping out of inner rush does not mean giving up activity or goals. It is about changing the way one moves through life. At MindCareCenter, we help people shift from living in a constant race to a more sustainable rhythm, where there is space for both action and rest.
If you feel that you are always rushing, that life seems to pass you by, and that an inner signal constantly urges “faster” – this is not about poor organization. It reflects a psyche that has lived in tension for too long. At Mind Care Center, we gently support the return to one’s own rhythm – helping reduce inner rush and restore a sense of presence in one’s own life.
