Co-rumination Engaging in repetitive, emotionally intense conversations that dwell on problems without moving toward resolution. While it can feel bonding at first, co-rumination can intensify distress, blur boundaries, and reinforce victim identity. Often mistaken for intimacy, but rooted in emotional looping.

Emotional looping A cycle where negative thoughts and feelings reinforce each other, creating a repetitive and often overwhelming emotional state. It can be triggered by stressors and leads to a cycle of rumination, anxiety, and a feeling of being stuck.
