Publisher's summary

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.

Incredibly healing

This book saved me from myself. It taught me to stop, and listen. I learned skills that were practical. I will refer to this selection often to aid me in my practice of self awareness.

The tips I never knew I needed.

I liked the info but would love more elaboration for relationships of different stages. Dating / Newlyweds / Empty Nesters etc

Very insightful

I learned a lot about myself and my attachment style listening to this book. Such a great listen and definitely helped change the way I think about things in my relationship

How Did She Know?

What a great book and I’m not even finished yet. There are so many twists and turns in forming relationships but this book clearly examines some of my fears and concerns and provides real life solutions. This is a must read if you want to heal from past experiences or you want your current relationship to last.

I’ve begun using the tools already and it’s been life changing! If you want to improve your relationship and TRULY stop overthinking this is your sign to purchase.

Shedding light to my partner’s and my owns rumination cycles

This book has taught me a lot of things that I and my ex were doing wrong on in our relationship. This has definitely helped me to see through those overthinking thoughts I had and to be more mindful of what’s happening in the here and now rather than focusing on the far future ahead and worrying.

Great info for relationships and anxious people

I was really struck by how useful this information on rumination cycles is for PTSD and anxiety. It’s a book for everyone and not just those in or out of relationships.
