Why Mindset Work Fails When You’re Stuck in Rumination

If you’ve ever felt like mindset work isn’t helping you move forward or like you’re doing everything right but still feel stuck, then this episode is for you.

Today, I’m reflecting on a recent episode from Dr. K (The Healthy Gamer) and sharing my own lived experience with rumination, overthinking, and emotional disconnection. We explore why chronic overthinking isn’t a thinking problem at all. It’s a feeling avoidance pattern rooted in the lower mind.
