Have you ever tried to talk yourself out of worrying, and ended up worrying about why you can't stop?
In this episode, Jeffrey and Steve answer a voicemail from Jasmine. She's losing her housing, may lose her small business, and is living with long COVID. She ruminates day and night, even during guided meditations. She's asking for more profound tools to make it stop.
When the problem is real, rumination feels like the responsible thing to do. Something this big deserves our attention, right? But the loop keeps checking the same few places for an answer that isn't there yet. This episode is about what our nervous system is really trying to do when it won't let go, and why fighting the thoughts rarely quiets them. If you've ever lain awake with a problem you can't think your way out of, this conversation is for you.
