Rumination--obsessive thinking about an idea, situation, or choice that can interfere with normal life--is a common and destructive issue that can negatively impact romantic relationships. You may feel anxious, worried, hopeless, and frustrated, but even if you know your overthinking is a problem, it can be seriously hard to stop.

Using the SLOW approach, you'll learn how to: See rumination in process; Label your rumination cycle; Open yourself and make space; and Welcome blocked experiences. By practicing the exercises in this user-friendly book, you'll learn how to stop overthinking your relationship and discover a newfound sense of security, confidence, and wholeness--both as an individual and as part of a couple.
