Abstract

Rumination is a form of maladaptive emotional regulation that may develop into serious psychological disorders if left untreated. This study aims to describe the diagnostic process and intervention for rumination behavior in a 21-year-old female young adult client using the Rumination-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (RFCBT) approach. A descriptive case study method was employed within a qualitative framework. Data were collected through clinical interviews, observation, and psychological assessments using the SSCT and graphic tests (DAP, BAUM, HTP). The assessment results revealed the client experienced difficulties in managing negative emotions associated with a dysfunctional maternal relationship and irrational self-beliefs. The intervention consisted of five sessions involving psychoeducation, functional analysis, identification of automatic thoughts, imagery exercises, and coping strategies After the intervention, the client demonstrated a reduction in the intensity of rumination behavior, indicated by a decrease in the frequency of repetitive thoughts, improved ability to recognize emotional triggers, and the development of more flexible and adaptive cognitive responses. These findings support the effectiveness of RFCBT in addressing rumination behavior and preventing the emergence of depressive symptoms.
