Let's explore catastrophic thinking and rumination as attempts to regain safety in the face of uncertainty. You will learn how these patterns affect the nervous system and why they often intensify under stress. Several guided practices support recognizing these thought patterns, interrupting the trance of fear, and returning to present-moment safety. The lesson emphasizes ongoing practice, compassion, and building resilience over time. Join me live on Tuesdays as we explore themes from my book Friends With Your Mind and my Insight Timer course Your Mind And Nervous System: Working With Thought And Building Safety
