Women Who Think Too Much. How to Stop Ruminating on Negative Thoughts and Start Sleeping Peacefully

A BOOK IN WHICH EVERY WOMAN WILL RECOGNIZE HERSELF.

The boss called me to his office. He probably wants to fire me!
My husband came home an hour late from work. He is definitely cheating on me. Where will I go after... the divorce? I have nothing!
My child doesn't play with other kids. What if there are developmental issues, and I’m a bad mother!
My colleagues fell silent when I walked into the room. They are discussing me behind my back…

Every day of modern women is filled with worries: family, career, friends, personal interests, and the search for oneself. We want to manage everything, and also become better. More successful, more beautiful. The pursuit of perfection and self-doubt lead to rumination. Anxieties and obsessive thoughts spiral out of control, overwhelm us, and drain our strength and energy.

Psychology professor Susan Nolen-Hexter provides examples from the lives of patients who think too much and torment themselves with negative thoughts. Based on extensive research, she offers specific strategies that can be used to combat anxiety, free oneself from the negative influence of past experiences, and transition to a new level of awareness and harmony.

After reading, you will:
- stop overthinking before bed;
- forget what you didn’t say five years ago and to whom;
- realize that most people worry about the same things;
- understand that almost all difficulties are temporary;
- find solid ground beneath your feet and confidence in the future.
