Join our therapy group program and learn how to overcome the cycle of repetitive negative thinking.
With the support of an evidence-based course program mediated by psychologists, you will learn how to take back control of your thoughts and emotions through proven metacognitive techniques.
Often our lives can be full of complexities, constantly demanding sharp focus and strong problem-solving skills. Sometimes, our external struggles resurge within ourselves as repetitive negative thinking patterns: those are commonly described as dwelling, overthinking, brooding, overanalysing or just paying excessive attention to worries.
Although we can’t control the challenges ahead of ourselves, we can always improve how we face them: equipped with curiosity, self-compassion and a quieter mind, we can balance ourselves to become action-oriented while fostering a better quality of life.
Join our therapeutic group and learn how to address worry and rumination through a metacognitive approach. Our course program uses a proven framework to help you break repetitive thinking patterns, and improve your mental health outcomes.
With the support of a structured program and two psychologists in a peer group setting, you will learn to:
According to academic evidence, treatments to address repetitive negative thinking and rumination show superior outcomes when participants are in a group environment.
The advantages of this approach include receiving validation and shared perspectives from others with similar experiences, learning from the group’s insights, and benefiting from peer support and encouragement.
In a therapy group setting, you are not expected to talk about your past experiences or your challenges in great detail.
The group discussion is focused on the information and skills introduced by the therapists during the course, and you are free to choose the extent of your contribution to group discussions.
Session 1: Understanding What Worry and Rumination Are
Introduces you to your fellow group members and the exciting process of group therapy. It will also introduce metacognitive therapy while unpacking the behaviours of worry and rumination.
Session 2: Challenging “Uncontrollability” Beliefs and Attention Training
Introducing the idea that we can control which thoughts we pay attention to and the skills needed to accomplish this.
Session 3: Challenging “Danger” Beliefs
Challenging the belief that some of our thoughts can harm us, which can lead to common worries such as “I’m going mad.” It provides strategies to overcome these unhelpful beliefs.
Session 4: Challenging “Positive” Beliefs
Focusing on practice makes perfect. It builds the skill of attention training shifting away from worry and rumination and encourages reflection on how this change impacts your quality of life.
Session 5: Developing Active Coping Skills
Focusing on switching from unhelpful coping through worry and rumination to active, solution-focused coping to help find real solutions to current problems.
Session 6: Measuring Your Success and Planning for the Future
Recap of all of the learning made throughout the program and helps plan for how to maintain success.
Session 7: Putting the Pieces Together and Reviewing Your Learning
Reflecting on the progress and achievements of the group over the course of the program, problem-solving, and how the skills you’ve learned can be used in the future.

Originally developed by the Centre of Clinical Interventions (CCI) of Western Australia, the CCI Worry and Rumination Course uses a Metacognitive approach to break thought patterns and help people overcoming the cycle of rumination.
Throughout our group sessions, our psychologists will equip participants with practical skills and strategies with a premise that our initial negative thoughts are not the problem: as a matter of fact, how we respond to our negative thoughts is often the main issue.
