Working Through Rumination
Find ways to escape a negative thought cycle and think more clearly.
Description
Have you ever found yourself thinking over and over about a problem without making any progress towards solving it? Or perhaps you’ve continued to dwell on it, even after the problem has been resolved?
This is called rumination. Some rumination is important: it helps our self awareness and decision making. But when rumination leads a person to get stuck in a negative thought cycle about themselves, it can lead to hopelessness, anxiety and depression.
In this session one of our psychosocial practitioners will help a person or group get out of that negative thought cycle. Through mindfulness practices and conversation, they will learn to think more clearly, improve their wellbeing, and develop the skills to navigate future challenges.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
