You talk to yourself constantly. Not occasionally, not in moments of stress, but continuously, producing an estimated seventy thousand thoughts per day, most of them in verbal form, most of them repetitive, and many of them unkind. The inner voice is so ubiquitous that it is easy to forget it is there, but it shapes mood, drives behaviour, constructs identity, and determines, more than any external circumstance, the quality of your psychological life. This fully referenced article explores the neuroscience of self-talk, where it comes from, what it does, and how it can be changed.
