Rumination can feel like “problem-solving,” but often keeps clients stuck in low mood and self-criticism. This pack helps clients understand what rumination is, how it shows up for them, and how to recognize early cues before the spiral deepens. Use the psychoeducation handout to build shared language, then assign the self-monitoring worksheet to map triggers, themes, and the short-term vs long-term effects of ruminating. It’s a simple way to increase awareness and open the door to more flexible coping strategies.
