Rumination is a phenomenon in psychology that has been extensively studied, first systematically proposed by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema in the 1990s.
Research shows that rumination is significantly correlated with the onset and duration of depression and anxiety, and it weakens problem-solving ability.
The key difference between self-knowledge and rumination lies in direction: self-knowledge points toward understanding and action, while rumination points toward an emotional loop.
Epel categorizes strategies for dealing with rumination into three types: top-down beliefs and mindset, bottom-up use of the body to change the mind, and changing the environment to establish safety signals.
