This program is for individuals who often get stuck engaging in repetitive negative thinking, including:

• Worry: Thinking over and over about all the bad things that could happen in the future and how you would cope if these did occur. When we worry, we spend a lot of time thinking about the ‘what ifs’.
• Rumination: Going over and over past negative experiences, over analysing situations once they are over, and dwelling on past failures or regrets and negative aspects of yourself. Rumination can also involve spending a lot of time thinking about your mood and why you might be feeling that way. When we ruminate, we tend to ask lots of ‘why’ questions e.g., Why am I feeling this why? Why does this always happen to me? Why can’t life be easier for me?
