I'm so sorry you’re dealing with both rumination and physical pain-it can feel like a never-ending cycle. When physical pain is present, our brain often amplifies anxious or ruminating thoughts. A good first step is to combine gentle breathing exercises with mindful touch, like the havening touch, to soothe your nervous system. You might also try body-based practices like progressive muscle relaxation to help release tension. Pain and rumination are tough to untangle, but small, gentle practices can bring some relief over time. Sending you much warmth and healing 💗🤗
