Nipping negative repetitive thinking in the bud has the potential to stave off numerous mental health disorders.
Think Eeyore and Piglet. Cheerful Piglet is a chronic worrier, coping with anxiety; glum Eeyore mulls over everything that might go wrong, sinking into depression. But both struggle with repetitive negative thoughts.
People who think this way often have trouble with maintaining their own well-being and relationships with others, says Thomas Ehring, a psychologist at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. “They repeatedly keep thinking about [something] without it being constructive.”
