One common question I hear from almost all of my clients with anxiety is, “How do I stop this constant worrying, overthinking and ruminating.” Once you're stuck in that worry cycle, it can be very hard to find your way off.
In this video, I cover 7 practical techniques that you can use when you start to find yourself stuck on a cycle of worry and rumination. Covering a variety of theories and strategies, I describe 7 helpful techniques that I have found helps people jump off of that worry circuit in their brain.
#PaigePradko, #stopWorry, #StopRumination, #rumination, #stopruminating, #howtostopworrying, #howtostoprumminating, #worry, #anxietytherapist, #overthinging, #stopoverthinking, #lettinggo, #lettingworriesgo, #calmSeriesforAnxiety, #StopworryandAnxiety
To learn more about some of these techniques in this video, I suggest viewing my videos that cover these techniques in more depth:
Distraction Techniques - • 10 Distraction Techniq...
Mantras for Healing - • Calming Mantras & Phra...
Cognitive Restructuring - • Stop Anxiety by Changi...
Remember, you are not enslaved to your worry or negative thoughts. Begin slowly by trying and experimenting with one technique at a time, and then work your way up to two or three. Over time, and with practice, you will begin to see an amazing transformation of letting go of worry, overthinking and rumination.

Rays, Only if thought rumination affects your health consulting a psychologist may be needed. You can heal yourself by developing your mental mucles. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing anxiety-negative thoughts. For a relaxed life without anxiety-negative thoughts sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath for around 10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax. During your daily activity keep observing your breath consciously. Best part is mood swings also reduce. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed. For more relaxation enter the following on google search and listen before sleep repeating the affirmations in your mind. -“52Hz affirmations for health and healing you tube”. Find peace of mind. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

Hi Godfred. I have another video on Rumination coming out this week. It talks about how we do not have control over the first thought that pops into our minds, but we do have control of our rumination. It will go live on Wednesday. You will see the notification if you are subscribed to my channel. Let me know what you think. Also, here is a video on how to stop intrusive thoughts. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZN4fr1_zZ6clIU.html

Thank you for this quick video on techniques to break out of worry. I get the 3am worries many times. The way you explained the approach with thought stopping and having a replacement thought ready was excellent. I have been using some ideas from Dr Low of Recovery International. One of his concepts is moving your muscles to stop a viscous cycle. I will get up walk around the house and think of something pleasant, but as you know when ruminating is in full force the more tools you have the better. Please continue to post your vidoes. 👍👍👍

I am with you in regards to 3 am ruminations. It seems to be an active time for my brain. I also get up, get a drink of water, try to reset my brain for sleep and sometimes do some square breathing. I find it much easier to get my brain off of a worry cycle during the day. I really appreciate your comments and am glad that you like the videos.

Very useful video. Be careful what you feed your mind. To feel better reduce negative thoughts and overthinking. Avoid comparing, reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed, avoid moving too much and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Never meditate with expectations but with awareness. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Observe your breath sensations before sleep, when reading, at work, in the kitchen, when taking a walk etc -----anytime-anywhere. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.

I've been sick slot so I get really afraid when I get tired, even when it's time to go to sleep. Even when I try to focus my thought on other things I can feel my heartbeat in my fingertips. And my heart starts jumping over beats. There is nothing wrong with my heart, I checked that out at the doctor's. Sometimes I wake up feeling like I was suffocating in my sleep with high lever anxiety. I've tried taking small steps by sleeping during the day to get used to falling asleep (trying to shape my behaviour as B.F Skinner would say) but it isn't really working all that well.

There are a few different things that can be going on here. First, it sounds like you are reacting to your thoughts and unintentionally increasing your anxiety. Second, it is possible that you experienced nocturnal panic attacks and also unintentionally, your brain has associated falling to sleep with anxiety and panic. And another possibility is a form of ocd where we focus on particular body sensations like heart beat or breathing and this becomes obsessive, intrusive and creates a cycle. My guess, although I cannot diagnose anyone on KZfaq is that your brain is noticing heart beats and palpitations that are not harmful, but, has associated the heartbeats with high anxiety and panic. I am going to share a few more videos: this one about Nocturnal Panic Attacks kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obWShdCeq6-UYZ8.html This one about messages in the brain and what to do: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9R1dpuqrs2qe5s.html And this one about Interoceptive Exposure for people who have developed panic in response to increased heart rate kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9CKm5Z2sMXZf3k.html Now, I will stop overwhelming you with videos. Hope you feel better.

Hi Paige. I am so glad I discovered your channel! You said your intrusive thoughts normally come to you at 2 and 3am. I have the same problem. I would like to employ these techniques, but when its the middle of the night, you can't really engage in a distraction technique. My main anxiety is "I'm never going to get back to sleep. I'm going to feel horrible tomorrow. Why does this happen every night?!" And I am in this horrible worry circuit. I will try the cognitive restructuring. Any idea how long it may take to get out of this stuck pattern of thought? I have been reinforcing it for about a year solid now :( Thank you for your content!!

Hi Jessica. I can personally relate to your thoughts that keep you up at night. I use an attitude of “oh well”, as opposed to “oh no”. It takes time to associate bedtime to calmness instead of anxiety. Here is a short playlist where I talk about sleep problems and insomnia kzfaq.info/sun/PL1lUhuKpYUYoq2g2GlxmYyjz2yg1L6gJ9.

Hi paige, thanks a lot for your work! I have a question for you. In Pure OCD, how do we distinguish rumination from exposure? For example in your video talking about ERP you say that when we have an intrusive thought we have to “stay with it”, to live the anxiety that comes from it. But i’ve found out that is really difficult to separate the action of “staying with the thought” from ruminating about it. thanks a lot for your answer 👏🏻

When I am working with a client on intrusive thoughts, we make sure that there is nothing that they are doing to try to not have the thought, or work their way through the thought in their mind...kind of analyze it or try to mentally undo it. All of those mental exercises can reinforce the thought. Then, we talk about how to do the exposures. They can have the thought on purpose, do a recording where they verbalize the thought, or do a more strategic strategy (see video on Strategic Exposure Therapy). You can actually do all of these methods. If you have the thought on purpose, you will notice your anxiety spike. You do not want to try to distract yourself or reason with the thought...you simply allow it to be there without knowing if it is true or not, until the anxiety goes down. You can then repeat, giving the thought to yourself on purpose, and allow yourself to not know if it is true and just allow it to be there...until the anxiety goes down. If you begging to ruminate...your brain is attempting to fix it and figure out it’s truth. Say to yourself, “I am allowing this thought to be there without knowing whether or not it is true”. Wishing you the best.

Thanks so much for introducing so many techniques. I think people can pick the one that suits them. I have a question on the second technique “thought stopping”. You shared that we can think of an image where we could bring ourselves to. In your example, it’s a fireplace. I wonder how you guide your clients to think of an image. Is it like a safe place that brings calmness to the client? Or any place that can make them feel happy or warm?

Yes, after we experience a life threatening event, we go through a period of change. That can include disbelief, shock, grieving, anxiety and a whole range of emotions. I went through cancer and surgeries for a few years and understand the emotional impact. Some people cope with this experience by avoidance behaviors. Just hearing that you exercise sounds like you are not avoiding things. Allow yourself to grieve and practice self compassion, but, also begin to grow your mental image on how you want to live your life. What do you want to do...what matters to you...what do you value? Once you make those realizations, you follow those values regardless of your fears, anxiety and worries. It isn’t easy, as it is a process. You will have to challenge that fear inside of you and follow what you value in your life. ❤️

Many times the things I ruminate on are bad things I hear about on the news that actually did happen and it depresses me. Some of these techniques work for that but it would be helpful to have some advice on ruminating over things that did actually happen and not just on things you obsess over possibly going wrong. I don’t watch the news but I always hear about it, and even if I don’t know details I still obsess over it in my my mind especially as a new mom hearing about innocent children losing their lives. Recent heartbreak in the news is why I’m here. It’s taking over my thoughts it’s affecting my job as a mommy. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Dani. You are not alone. I am right there with you and find myself feeling so sad as well when I hear news like what just happened this past week. I then shift into an action mode. I find out what I can do. It might mean joining a group or supporting an organization that is supporting what I believe will be helpful. I believe that what you and I both experience is a form of grief and helplessness. It might make us ruminate or depressed for a few days. My advice is to take at least one form of action towards what you value and care about and this usually moves you out of rumination and helpless.

Sometimes our mind will begin those worry loops when we feel that things are out of our control. It is like your brain is trying to solve an unsolvable problem. Perhaps using self-compassion and placing your hand on your heart and reminding yourself that you are safe and your daughter is safe. She is young and has many years ahead of her to meet someone and develop a healthy relationship. Isn’t it fortunate that she broke up with someone that was not right for her. Remind yourself that all is well and your daughter will heal and things are working out exactly how they should work out.

But until I do…I want you to know that anticipatory anxiety is normal and can also be mixed with the feeling of excitement, commitment and the mental process of planning. Anticipatory anxiety is one indicator that you care about something, value it and it is important to you. In some ways, it is a positive sign that you are doing what you value. I encourage clients to accept anticipatory anxiety and to be willing to do what it is you want to do regardless of whether or not anxiety decides to show up.

thank you so much for the video, i have two questions regarding sort of different topics, maybe you could give me your opinion: if i am doing exposure therapy and experiencing fear or panic, am i disturbing the "accept and welcome the panic" method by using breathing techniques? should i just let go and do nothing, because breathing techniques kind of seem to imply, that i want to get rid of the fear, on the other hand i don't know if i'd be able to do just nothing and just hyperventilate, that wouldn't help either, would it? I had panic symptoms at the airport and i tried letting go and just accepting it the way it is, but also including your breathing techniques, it felt like a panic attack but it lasted for 90 minutes, and only stopped when i sat down on the plane. Also, do you have any opinon on the usage of CBD Oil or products and do you think that this usage would negatively affect exposure therapy? Sorry for the long comment and for frequently asking so many questions! And as always, thank you so so so much for taking your time to help people that are struggling!
@PaigePradkoTherapy
@PaigePradkoTherapy 4 жыл бұрын
You really ask great questions. I cover a lot of treatment methods and techniques on my videos and sometimes they directly contradict each other. In my panic attack videos, I teach people what to do to get through the panic attack. I use the acronym of MEWS: Move your body, External Focus, Welcome the Panic and Square Breathing. This method contains one technique that is actually exposure therapy and that is the “Welcoming the Panic” technique. This is a paradoxical technique from Strategic Exposure Therapy, where we add a cognitions of “I want more” and “Bring it On!” It has the opposite effect on our brain by shutting off our sympathetic nervous system. Now, if you were to do a pure “Exposure Therapy” during a panic attack, you would stay with the feeling of high anxiety and panic. I encourage my clients to use the “Welcome the Panic” technique during the exposure to try to make their “worse” symptoms more intense. And to answer your question, I do not have them do square breathing during the exposure. Relaxation techniques like square breathing make the exposure less effective. I included square breathing at the end of my MEWS method as a way for people to calm down following the panic. I sure hope I didn’t confuse you more. The way I differentiate which method I am going to use with clients is this....if the client has occasional panic attacks, but not panic disorder, they use the MEWS method. If a client has panic disorder, they use square breathing and breath focused meditation daily. Then, they set up specific exposures using interoceptive exposures (video coming next week) and/or situational exposure therapy without relaxation techniques during the exposures. My clients will typically all use the “Welcome the Panic” technique when they have a panic attack without being in a specific planned exposure. To answer your question about CBD oil, I have no research about whether or not it interferes with the exposure and habituation process of rewiring the brain and creating new neuropathways. My best guess is that it does interfere and reduces the effectiveness of exposure. Any substance or behavior that calms down the fear center is going to make the exposure less effective. Remember “activate to generate”. Thank you again for your questions. They are really great questions that show me you are really learning the material and engaging with these techniques.

No, not when you have OCD. You are correct. Here is a video that is more helpful for someone with OCD: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZN4fr1_zZ6clIU.html

@@madias1884 Only if thought rumination affects your health consulting a psychologist may be needed. You can heal yourself by developing your mental mucles. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing anxiety-negative thoughts. For a relaxed life without anxiety-negative thoughts sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath for around 10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax. During your daily activity keep observing your breath consciously. Best part is mood swings also reduce. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed. For more relaxation enter the following on google search and listen before sleep repeating the affirmations in your mind. -“52Hz affirmations for health and healing you tube”. Find peace of mind. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
