Written by Alicia Muñoz, LPC and Linda Carroll, LMFT

Narrated by Victoria Villarreal

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.

In Stop Overthinking Your Relationship, certified couples therapist Alicia Muñoz draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to offer an effective, four-step approach to reduce rumination and change negative thinking patterns. By understanding both your own unique attachment style-as well as your partner's-you'll learn how to communicate more effectively, meet each other's needs, and focus on what really matters in your relationship.

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.
