The theories behind RFCBT as a treatment for rumination emphasize the fact that rumination is a destructive habit, and is mostly due to an individual's abstract cognitive processing. [ 48 ] The approach that a therapist takes is to discuss with their client to change their thoughts into a healthy style of thinking.
Perseverative cognition [1] [2] is a collective term in psychology for continuous thinking about negative events [3] in the past or in the future (e.g. worry, rumination and brooding, but also mind wandering about negative topics [4] [5]).
Recurrent negative thinking: worry and rumination that dwells on intrusive thoughts in an effort to work through or resolve them. Thought suppression: deliberately trying to block or remove specific intrusive mental images or urges from entering consciousness, which may have the paradoxical effect of sustaining the thought.
In psychology, a dual process theory provides an account of how thought can arise in two different ways, or as a result of two different processes. Often, the two processes consist of an implicit (automatic), unconscious process and an explicit (controlled), conscious process.
Ironic control theory, also known as "ironic process theory", states that thought suppression "leads to an increased occurrence of the suppressed content in waking states". [36] The irony lies in the fact that although people try not to think about a particular subject, there is a high probability that it will appear in one's dreams regardless.
The theory of co-rumination refers to extensively discussing and revisiting problems, speculating about problems, and focusing on negative feelings with peers. Although it is similar to self-disclosure in that it involves revealing and discussing a problem, it is more focused on the problems themselves and thus can be maladaptive. [ 1 ]

A "Theories" section is needed, which would review Response Styles Theory (Nolen-Hoeksema), the S-REF Model and metacognitions (Matthews & Wells), and rumination as a function of goal progress and the Zeigarnik effect (Martin & Tesser). A more in-depth discussion about the differences between rumination and worry.
