Each week we will be sharing a tip from our school psychologist, Mrs. Rollins.
As a follow-up on identifying irrational thoughts and reframing thoughts, I want to give out some tips to combat depression from Linda Esposito, a social worker who runs the Wired for Happy website. All the tips come from an article she posted on Psychology Today.
Her first recommendation is to avoid rumination. Rumination is over-analyzing an issue without coming to any new insight. A ruminator has difficulty getting out of a depressive thought cycle because they feel uncertain about how to move forward. Rumination is most often a sign that the person is about to enter an intense depressive episode. One way ruminators might try to break the cycle is to consult other people around them, but often their social support can break down. This happens because the friend or loved one offers advice or possible solutions, but the ruminator does not follow through and the supporter gets frustrated with their inaction and does not offer further support.
Instead, here are four rumination cycle breakers suggested by the American Psychological Association:

Como continuación de la identificación de los pensamientos irracionales y el reencuadre de los pensamientos, quiero dar algunos consejos para combatir la depresión de Linda Esposito, una trabajadora social que dirige https://wiredforhappy.com/. Todos los consejos proceden de un artículo que publicó en Psychology Today.
Su primera recomendación es evitar la rumiación. La rumiación consiste en analizar en exceso un problema sin llegar a una nueva visión. Un rumiador tiene dificultades para salir de un ciclo de pensamiento depresivo porque se siente inseguro sobre cómo avanzar. La rumiación suele ser un signo de que la persona está a punto de entrar en un episodio depresivo intenso. Una forma en que los rumiantes pueden intentar romper el ciclo es consultar a otras personas de su entorno, pero a menudo su apoyo social puede romperse. Esto sucede porque el amigo o el ser querido ofrece consejos o posibles soluciones, pero el rumiador no sigue adelante y el partidario se frustra con su inacción y no ofrece más apoyo.
En su lugar, he aquí cuatro elementos para romper el ciclo de rumiación sugeridos por la Asociación Americana de Psicología:
