Have you ever wondered why the mind keeps returning to the same worries or self-critical thoughts? Even when we want to move on, certain patterns seem to repeat on their own.

Psychology professor Dr. Norman Farb shares the neuroscience behind negative thought loops, rumination, and overthinking. Discover how the brain’s default mode network reinforces automatic mental habits, and how mindfulness, sensory awareness, and attention training can help break the cycle and build greater mental flexibility and wellbeing.
