Are there any validated PPIs (positive psychology interventions) that deal with "overthinking" and rumination?

01 January 2017 1 4K Report

I'm looking for well validated PPIs that are designed to reduce rumination/overthinking/social comparison. What instruments (questionnaires) are used pre and post intervention to test the PPIs efficacy?

Thank you very much

Ibrahim
