Question
How do I stop engaging with the thoughts or stop ruminating when I can barely think of anything else without it turning into something it’s not?

You have to first remind yourself that your rumination cannot protect you. It will only 100% of the time increase your anxiety. Knowing that, you choose not to focus or direct attention to the intrusive thoughts.

Rumination
Hi guys! I’ve been trying to figure out how to respond to intrusive thoughts & rumination. I know some things you can say are “so what” or “hmm okay” “maybe”, ect. But what are some other good ones? I’m kind of struggling to understand what it means to fully not engage with a thought. If I have an intrusive thought- I struggle to tell the difference between thought stopping & not letting myself engage. Any tips/ clarification would be much appreciated!
