How to Stop Ruminating Thoughts Using Neuroscience-Based Tools with Dr. Kate Truitt

Ever caught yourself in a loop of negativity? Join Dr. Kate Truitt in this psychoeducational video as she unravels how the amygdala orchestrates the brain to function and ways to stop the ruminating loops of thoughts.

Our brain has a natural inclination towards ruminating loops, thanks to our friend, Amy, whose primary job is to ensure our survival. By understanding how the amygdala works, we can start to regain control over our thoughts and break free from the cycle of negativity.

Dr. Kate Truitt provides practical strategies and techniques to rewire our brains and cultivate a more positive mindset, ultimately leading to a happier and more satisfying life. The strategies mentioned are the self-havening touch, breath work exercises, and Creating Possibility Protocols. When we engage in these activities, we can soothe and comfort ourselves through gentle stroking motions, creating a sense of safety and security.
