My Automatic Self Loathing Has Been Quelled With that rheumatologist appointment last week… I was unpacking it in therapy on Wednesday this week. My therapist said how mindblowing it was. She said it was a horrible thing that happened, but a…

You’re Not Crazy: Why Talking to Yourself is a Survival Skill Be honest: Do you ever catch yourself having full-blown conversations out loud... when no one else is in the room? And then, immediately after, do you look around in panic, wondering if you’re losing your mind? Here is the good news: You aren't crazy. In fact, you might just be a survivalist. In this episode, we are dismantling the shame surrounding talking to yourself. Society often labels this "the first sign of madness," but psychology and neuroscience tell a very different story. We explore why your internal dialogue isn't a glitch—it’s a sophisticated tool for emotional regulation and a vital mechanism for soothing a dysregulated nervous system. We dig into the roots of this habit, looking at how many of us developed an outer voice in childhood to provide the comfort, safety, and validation we didn't get from the adults around us. This isn't about instability; it's about resilience. It is your brain’s way of moving from fear to rationality. In this episode, we normalize the noise by covering: - The Science of Self-Soothing: How vocalizing thoughts calms the Vagus Nerve. - The "Crazy" Stigma: Why we fear our own voice and how to stop. - Inner Child Connection: Why your internal dialogue is actually a relationship with your younger self. - From Critic to Ally: How to retrain that voice to be supportive rather than destructive. It’s time to stop shushing yourself. That voice in your head saved you once; now it’s time to make friends with it. 👇 FEELING SEEN?

“Aphantasia…?” It sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t quite remember the word’s meaning. “It’s a neurological condition. I cannot form pictures in my mind,” Damien explained. “I have no ‘mind’s eye.’ I never have; not even when [REDACTED]. It probably helped me as a medical doctor, and to have survived with my sanity all these years… I do not remember visuals well, for better or… for graphically worse. And I don’t have an inner monologue either.” Damien shrugged.

Anyone familiar with Damien's rare neurodivergence, aphantasia?
Definitely an interesting one.

I just noticed my typo above... *Your. Then I thought well if paw is a pun for pa, then you paw might work, but then worried about the lyrical issue to make the post less recognizable. Then you made the reference and I sighed in relief that someone got it. #innermonologue

I'm writing a book. It’s called Inner Time.

This isn’t just philosophy. It’s a roadmap for energy, vibration, and purpose.

Stay tuned.

Talking to Yourself Isn't Crazy. It's a Superpower. Ever catch yourself muttering to your keys? Or having a full-blown debate in your head while in the shower? Don't worry, you're not going crazy—you're just using the most powerful and misunderstood tool you own: your self-talk. In this episode, we're diving into the science of your inner monologue. We'll explore why talking to yourself is a completely normal—and vital—part of being human. You'll discover how the right kind of positive self-talk can boost your focus and performance, and how a simple trick called distanced self-talk can instantly dial down your anxiety. But there's a dark side. We're also confronting the relentless inner critic—that voice of negative self-talk that fuels anxiety and depression. We'll unpack how therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) give you the power to challenge and rewrite that toxic inner script. Stick with us to the very end for a simple, two-word phrase you can use to instantly interrupt your negative inner critic and take back control of the conversation in your head. It's time to become the narrator you deserve. Subscribe, share this with anyone who's a little too hard on themselves, and join the conversation about mastering your mind.

Does anyone else narrate their life like an audiobook, or am I just too deep into storytelling? #WriterThoughts #InnerMonologue

An affirmation card that says "Story of my life". It has a Snake holding flowers, and they're giving them to a mouse.

Affirmator card for the day:

"Story of my life".

Also so I could say: “Not today Susan” “I don’t have time for this today Susan” “Fuck off Susan” like if you new that first GPS Susan you would understand that they have very similar methodologies of wasting my time and yours #innermonologue #adhd “nottodaySusan”

When you have an inner monologue that activates while looking at memes that make them even funnier. Then trying to explain through laughter why it was funny while the other person, without an inner monologue, just stares at you. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

Julian Bashir's romance trapezoid from "trilling" bro-mances to intellectual mind play with bestie tailor spy and physical game play with his ordinary engineer bro. At times he was the fourth wall of his own life. Stuck in a classic narrator position, without any lines to suggest it. #innermonologue

Today I had to fight the urge to tell someone to shut up even though they weren’t talking.
