Your colleague critical comment keeps replaying in your mind. Two of your friends are trapped in a “he said/she said" battle of wills. You can't shake the anxiety you feel after hearing the latest news. We hear that it's important to acknowledge and work through our emotional reactions to negative events, yet when we do, we sometimes get caught up in cycles of rumination(反刍)—which can make us feel even worse. So, what is the best way to reflect on difficult circumstances without finding ourselves tossed around in an emotional spin cycle
The answer may lie in a skill called "self-distancing", which features the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According to research, when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional suffering, and display fewer signs of stress.
But what might self-distancing look like in action These two fiends—well call them Tom and Jessica—feel wronged, and they replay their argument in their heads and out loud with you! Jessica is thinking, can't believe he did that to me. ” And Tom insists, "She really hurt my feelings. They are each focusing on their own feelings. However, if you ask them to take the third-person perspective of a distanced observer, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions. Tom might literally wonder about himself, thinking in the third person, “Why was he so hurt in this situation " Or Jessica might ask, “How did these two people get to this point How did her anger affect him ” Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective, numerous studies with children, adolescents, and adults (young and old) indicate that a shift in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way we think, feel, and behave.
