Are You Stuck in a Cycle of Overthinking?

Rumination involves repetitive thinking and dwelling on negative feelings, their causes and their consequences. Sound familiar?

It can make us feel helpless and unable to resolve the problem or think coherently. And yes, it is often at it’s most heightened as we lie awake at night.

It can drain energy, erode confidence, and keep you from taking meaningful action. Whether it’s your own struggle or the challenges your clients or team members face, the question remains the same:

How do we break the cycle and move forward?

On Wednesday, 12th February, from 3-5pm UK time, join Professor of Applied Neuroscience Patricia Riddell and Ian McDermott, a leading expert on behavioural and organisational change, for a free, experiential online workshop that transforms experience into an opportunity for growth.

What You’ll Learn in This Workshop

In this experiential 2-hour session, you’ll explore:

  • The Neuroscience of Rumination: Understand why our brains get stuck in overthinking and the potential impact of that.
  • Brain-Friendly Tools and Techniques: Discover neuro-effective methods to shift from analysis paralysis to purposeful action.
  • Practical Application: Learn actionable strategies to implement immediately—whether for yourself, your clients, or your team.
  • A More Discerning Eye: Find out how to be more discerning when it comes to the tsunami of neuroscience ‘experts’ that have appeared and what they are saying.

Why You Should Attend

You’ll leave equipped with:

  • Clarity and Direction: Gain insights into the root causes of rumination and how to redirect your focus effectively.
  • Proven Techniques: Learn tools that are not only easy to use but also grounded in neuroscience for maximum impact.
  • Empowerment to Act: Move beyond overthinking and start making tangible progress in your personal and professional life.
  • Professional Skills: Enhance your ability to support others—clients, colleagues, or loved ones—in breaking free from rumination and taking meaningful steps forward.

Benefits of Attending

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to:

  • Identify the patterns, triggers and indicators of rumination in yourself and others.
  • Apply neuroscience-based strategies to shift from thinking to doing.
  • Facilitate change for clients or colleagues with confidence and ease.
  • Take immediate, impactful actions toward your goals.

“Patricia is able to put across complex concepts in the clear, humourous and (dare I say it) compassionate way that in my experience only masters of their subject can achieve.”

“When I said to some people that I was going to do a neuroscience course, the reaction was one of, ‘Wow, that sounds really complicated and difficult’. And I think the thing I take away from this course is that we’ve really just talked about things that we’re all familiar with as human beings. But what I what I what I can take away now is a is a language that enables me to articulate and understand what the brain is doing and and how you can change that if it’s not serving you well really. it’s really been helpful for me working with my coaching clients.”

“It’s applied neuroscience and I have just loved how the course just helps apply the neuroscience concepts and what’s happening in the brain in really practical day-to-day situations.”

This experience is ideal for:

  • Individuals seeking to overcome their own rumination habits.
  • Coaches, therapists, and consultants looking for effective tools to support their clients.
