When you're ruminating, it can feel like you need to finish the thought before you're allowed to move on.

But thoughts don't always need an answer.

Try noticing when you've been pulled into repetitive thinking, without arguing with the thought or trying to force it away.

Then gently redirect your attention.

And if you get pulled back in?

That's okay. Notice it and step out again.

The goal isn't to stop having thoughts.

It's to practice choosing where your attention goes.

Bryan shares his current book, training, article, or clinical topic.

“This book has been really helpful in exploring what life looks and feels like when I'm not connected to my phone. The pull to my phone is SO strong, and I've really been trying to work on shifting my relationship with tech. I truly believe this is one of the greatest challenges facing all of us right now.”

Therapy is a profession where the learning doesn't stop.

Because good therapy isn't about having one set of answers.

It's about continuing to learn, stay curious, and bring that knowledge back into the room.

Rumination can look like problem-solving.

You replay the conversation.

Analyze what happened.

Review your decision.

Try to figure out what someone meant.

And you keep thinking because you believe the next thought might finally give you certainty.

But sometimes more thinking simply creates more questions.

Learning to recognize rumination is an important first step toward changing the pattern.

Feeling anxious about flying? We get it.

Between the what-ifs and stomach flips, it can feel like your brain never gets a break.

That’s why we created a one-of-a-kind experience at MSP Airport.

I know what it’s like to white-knuckle my way through flights and dread the days leading up to them.
And my husband, Justin, has both lived through panic himself and spent years behind the scenes in aviation, from flying to fixing to keeping planes in the air safely.

Together, we help fearful flyers take that next step toward calmer, more confident travel — and now we’re inviting you to join us inside the airport to learn how.

✅ Walk through the airport without the pressure of taking a flight
✅ Sit inside a real aircraft (trainer plane)
✅ Learn therapist-approved strategies for managing anxiety
✅ Ask us your biggest questions about flying

Event Date: Nov. 14, 2026

Location: MSP International Airport, Terminal 1

Fear of flying can involve much more than concerns about the safety of the airplane.

For some people, the hardest part is the fear of panic, losing control, physical sensations, uncertainty, or feeling trapped.

The Fearful Flyers Blueprint provides practical tools to help you understand the fear cycle and start changing the patterns that keep flight anxiety going.

At our Navigating Flight Anxiety at MSP Airport Event, you will walk through security as a group, step inside the trainer plane for guided mindfulness + open conversation, and then head to the observation deck to watch planes take off — with real-time coaching the whole way.

It’s the most real-life, hands-on way to learn about handling flight anxiety and start feeling more prepared for your next trip.

What if the goal of anxiety therapy wasn't to never feel anxious again?

Anxiety is a normal human emotion. Trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought, sensation, or feeling can sometimes make anxiety even more central to your life.

Instead, therapy can help you learn:
"I can feel anxious and still move forward."
"I can experience uncertainty without solving it."

"I can have an uncomfortable thought without treating it like an emergency."

We don't help people get rid of anxiety. We help them stop being afraid of anxiety.

That sudden rush of adrenaline can be one of the scariest parts of anxiety.

Your heart races. You feel shaky. Your breathing changes. You may feel hot, dizzy, or intensely alert.

And when those sensations feel threatening, it's natural to want to make them stop immediately.

But the adrenaline itself isn't necessarily the problem. It's part of your body's fight-or-flight response.

The cycle can become more difficult when you start monitoring, checking, escaping, or trying to immediately control every physical sensation.

A different approach is learning to notice the adrenaline without treating it as an emergency.

"This feels uncomfortable. I can handle it."

That's a skill we can practice in anxiety treatment.

“I feel very positive that it is possible for me to overcome my fear. Before I really didn’t think I was going to be able to overcome this. Going through the security process, took out a lot of the scary unknown for me and now I feel it’s really a simple thing that I can do and I think I could do it by myself.”

At Navigating Flight Anxiety at MSP Airport, you’ll:

✅ Go through airport security (without needing a plane ticket)
✅ Sit inside a real aircraft and practice a calming mindfulness exercise
✅ Join a supportive conversation with others who understand (led by 2 therapists)
✅ Visit the observation deck to see planes take off and land
