Description
Three weeks ago you and a friend exchanged heated words at a group dinner and you’ve been left feeling a mix of regret, anger and embarrassment. Since then, you’ve been reliving every detail of what happened over and over again, replaying what you both said, what her words might have meant, and whether or not this indicates that she’s been getting increasingly frustrated with you over the past year. This negative and unproductive overthinking is called rumination, and in today’s episode, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson talks about the consequences of rumination, and particularly the impact it can have on our relationships, due to the ways in which it can hamper our ability to reconcile with friends. Danielle shares her acronym ‘IDEA’ to cover the four key reasons why rumination can be so dangerous and damaging when it comes to our relationships. Tune in to find out more, and as always, stay tuned to the end for this week's homework. REFERENCES: STUDY - "Socialized to Ruminate?
