Breaking Out of Rumination
Practical Ways to Disrupt Negative, Obsessive Thoughts
It’s normal and healthy for us to process our experiences emotionally. But sometimes we get stuck – returning to painful memories, worries, or disturbing thoughts, over, and over, and over.
This is rumination, and it’s actually quite common. But it’s not helpful or productive and it can be frustrating and limiting. We spend a lot of time thinking… without making any real progress.
Join psychologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Rick Hanson for this 5-week online course focused on practical skills for disrupting these negative thought patterns, letting them go, and moving past them.
