Great suggestion Xanadu.

For me personally, I think my situation might be slightly different than others. I don't fear nor am I anxious about situations that lead to rumination; they're simply a fact of life... I do too much, I know this will occur. The key for me is to increase my tolerance to stimuli (i.e. reduce mental flooding) such that the extended recovery doesn't occur... this is going to take some time, however, and a therapist will absolutely need to be part of it : )
