Ep. 8 | Rumination Redirection

Relying exclusively on intellectual problem-solving limits our ability to effectively navigate intense emotions.

We finish off our two-parter on overthinking by taking a deep dive into the emotions we’re ignoring when we retreat into rumination—and ways to sometimes redirect our attention toward them instead.

We explore:

  • Whether complex emotions are the culprits luring us into overthinking

  • Why “why” is a fraught question to ask ourselves when we’re feeling vulnerable

  • How to get out of our heads and into our bodies with mindfulness-based inquiry

  • And the challenge smart people face in stepping away from the intellectual into something more poetic and slippery

I'm in the habit of being alone
I try hard to break it I can't on my own
