Episode: How Do I Stop Ruminating?
Description: In this episode, Chris distinguishes intrusive thoughts (also called obsessions) from rumination (mental compulsions, DSM-5). They're both cognitive activities; so telling the difference is often easier said than done. He then explains a strategy that is often used to stop ruminating. Please remember that this podcast is only a podcast, though. It is not meant to be consumed in lieu of evidence-based psychotherapy.
