Quotes by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema (?)

“For overthinkers, whose feelings and thoughts about their loss linger much longer than those of nonoverthinkers, the social time clock for “getting over” loss is really punishing.

“Breaking free of overthinking and moving to higher ground will give you the clarity and strength to evaluate your relationship more realistically, communicate more clearly, and make sensible choices about change.”
