We possess the ability to shift our perspective on our own, to adopt a more distanced, objective perspective, and there are lots of ways you can do it.
Ever caught yourself in a spiral of negative self-talk that just won't quit? You're not alone. In this episode of 'All In The Mind', host Lynne Malcolm sits down with psychologist Ethan Cross to tackle the tricky subject of 'chatter'—that incessant, often harmful inner dialogue that can lead to anxiety and stress. Ethan shares real-world examples and breaks down why our inner voice sometimes turns against us. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom.
You'll learn practical strategies like distance self-talk, which helps you step back from your thoughts, and temporal distancing, which shifts your focus away from immediate stressors. Ethan also delves into the power of rituals and how simple actions can provide a sense of control and calm. Whether you're battling everyday worries or deeper anxieties, this episode offers tools to help you quiet that inner critic and find some peace.
Perfect for anyone looking to better manage their mental chatter and live a more balanced life.
