Rumination. Worry. Self-critique. We’ve all gotten stuck in loops of negative self-talk, or as acclaimed psychologist Dr. Ethan Kross calls it, chatter. I’m going to fail. They’ll all laugh at me. What’s the use? Whether it manifests as anxiety, imposter syndrome, or other detriments to our mental health, chatter has the power to derail both our professional and personal lives. However, it’s possible to change how our inner voice talks to us, making it work for us rather than against us. In his nationally bestselling book, Chatter, Dr. Kross describes how to utilize the hidden power of our inner voice. This workbook delves deeper, featuring writing prompts, checklists, visual guides, thought exercises, and more, teaching you how to harness your chatter. Dr. Kross offers practical tools for self-care, grouping techniques for combatting chatter into three categories: • Internally focused tools: Activities to help you normalize, reframe, and redirect your thoughts. • People tools: Techniques for seeking support and advice from other people. • Environmental tools: Ideas for reducing chatter by creating order in your environment and understanding how to benefit from green spaces and awe-inspiring experiences. Perfect for anyone who wants to break free from endless cycles of negative self-talk, rumination, and worry, this workbook will help you harness your inner voice and transcend the worst effects of chatter.
