Episode 74: Depressive Rumination
In this 74th episode, Dr. Knabb discusses depressive rumination, including its role in depressive episodes, drawing upon insights from meta-cognitive therapy. In this exploration, he offers several meta-cognitive strategies, including attentional training and detachment, for shifting from depressive rumination to another area of focus. To conclude the episode, Dr. Knabb provides a Christian view of depressive rumination, including biblical meditation as an attentional strategy to detach from unhelpful forms of rumination and pivot toward God.
