In reply to Is too much psychological thinking good for you?, posted by pinkeye on June 12, 2005, at 13:57:30
Sometimes I wonder about this too, particularly since terminating therapy.
I find all this thinking takes up so much time that I could be spending doing other things.
On the other hand, I do seem to be getting better (slowly!) so it must be doing some good.
For me it’s a question of preventing psychological thinking from becoming rumination. And being able to put it aside when I need to. Some days I really do seem to need to think about things all day long. But I don’t like to have too many days like that. It’s exhausing!
