From my career experiences, ruminating tends to be high when faced with stress, depression, or exhaustion. The negative thoughts or beliefs crossing your mind make it hard to shut off the brain or get some good night’s sleep. Normally, this is triggered by fear, disgust, distressing thoughts, anger, sadness, and negative perceptions about something. These core emotions or feelings make the brain resort to conscious help in the ruminating or intrusive thoughts instead of connecting with the body’s actions to develop a solution. This habit traps anxiety energy in the brain, which leads to avoidance of the core emotions and sensations. Shutting down the brain can also be challenging as we try to seek comfortable sensations or feelings by focusing on intrusive or ruminating thoughts rather than calming the brain and facing the physical sensations.
Sleep specialist
Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
