I Can't stop worrying and ruminating!

Out of control worry, rumination and overthinking are a common problem in the anxiety disorder community. You might really want to stop your worry and rumination, but it probably feels like you just can't ... or that its just to dangerous or risky to walk away from this endless thinking loop. Worry and Rumination Explained is designed to help you understand what's going on and how to start to break your worry and thinking habits.

You CAN Address Worry and Rumination

You can even learn how to begin to break these seemingly unbreakable habits!

RECORDED FEBRUARY 7, 2024 - DURATION: 120 MINUTES

Persistent, uncontrollable worry, rumination, and overthinking are often seen by those that suffer as special problems that defy explanation and can't be "fixed". This is not really true. While worry and rumination might feel too tricky or difficult to address, an understanding of the mechanics that drive these thinking habits can create a much needed patch of firm ground for you to stand on when working toward breaking these old habits.

Worry and Rumination Explained is a recorded workshop by Drew Linsalata and Joshua Fletcher that explains the mechanics of worry, rumination, and overthinking, with a deep dive into the distorted beliefs that drive these safety and comfort seeking habits. In this workshop, you'll learn:

  • ⁠How worry, rumination, and overthinking are attempts to seek safety, certainty, and comfort.

  • The typical disconnect between reality and your belief in the power of worry and thinking.

  • The love/hate relationship you likely have with thinking. Love it ... then hate it and with you could stop it!

  • How and why worry and rumination are sometimes worn as badges of honor.

  • The role of doubt and how it drives endless rumination and worry patterns.

  • Are worry and rumination actually problem solving methods?

  • ⁠Why changing your thinking habits - stepping away from worry, rumination, and overthinking - is so hard to do.

  • Steps you can take to recognize and interrupt your worry, rumination, and overthinking habits.
