When you think, you can leap from one thing to another without any boundaries or even logic, so it is easier to overthink and spectaculate based on nothing.
When you talk to someone, usually you must at least organize your thoughts and explain the logic so other person can understand what you are talking about. Hence the illogical thinking, when having to be spelled out loud, is busted and discovered.
Futhermore, therapist can ask question to help you navigate and challenge the illogical thinking in new viewpoints. They can also point out the unhealthy behaviors and their consequences in case you never notice, and suggest alternative change/ coping mechanisms
