What are negative thought loops?
✓
Respuesta Corta
Negative thought loops are repetitive patterns of thoughts focused on negative aspects, worries, or self-criticism that repeat over and over in the mind without reaching a resolution, generating anxiety, stress, or emotional distress.
Negative thought loops occur when the mind gets trapped in a cycle of repetitive thoughts about worrying situations, fears, doubts, or self-criticism. These thoughts can appear spontaneously and persist for minutes, hours, or even days.
Negative thought loops can be a response to stress, anxiety, or worry. The brain may try to "solve" a problem by repeating thoughts, but without proper tools, this can create a cycle that increases distress rather than resolving it.
