Rumination's Dual Nature
- Rumination is a form of problem-solving that can get out of control.
- It offers short-term escape from painful feelings, giving a false sense of productivity.
Presence Check-In
- Use a 0-10 scale to assess presence during exposures.
- Checking in can increase presence and address rumination.
Regaining Control
- If you feel frozen by anxiety, check your physical control.
- Try moving small body parts to regain a sense of agency.
