Mindfulness Breaks Co-Rumination in Teen Girls | Amsterdam News
Description
In Rotterdam, researchers are tackling teen girl anxiety through a mindfulness-based program that challenges the idea that constant co-rumination with friends is always helpful. While talking about problems feels supportive, it can actually trigger physical stress responses. The 14-session program teaches girls to pause, breathe, and reset their nervous systems before diving into problem-solving — using simple tools like smiling and focusing on bodily sensations. Though some teens initially resisted, participation is growing, and the program is set to expand into primary schools next year, offering a fresh, science-backed approach to emotional resilience.
