Negative Self-Talk: The Trials and Tribulations

Down With My Demons: The Shadow Work Path

Negative self-talk is something that permeates many of us and can be pesky to deal with. In this episode I speak to my troubles with self-talk, worthiness, body dysmorphia and body image, as well as what I've done to mitigate the harmful effects. Negative self-talk can be a symptom of trauma, though not one that is unable to shift. I dive deeply into what has worked for me, telling stories of a few journeys where my self-talk didn't aid me and was more than false. Super-ego, Shamatha Meditation, Anorexia, Developmental Stages, and what it's like to be a Ph.D. student await you in this episode. I really enjoyed making this solo episode and hope it's helpful for you as well. See you next time!
