Join Lisa Dion as she dives into a topic we all experience—therapists, parents, children—negative self-talk. Despite the countless affirmations we try, negative self-talk refuses to go away. But what if it wasn't meant to?

In this perspective-shifting episode, Lisa explores the purpose behind negative self-talk and how it can actually support us.

What You'll Learn:

  • How negative self-talk shows up in thoughts like "I should," "I shouldn't," and "I'm not good enough"
  • Why positive affirmations alone often don't work
  • The surprising function of negative self-talk and what it's really trying to do
  • The neuroscience behind it as a homeostatic mechanism in the mind
  • Shifts in understanding depression and the role of negative self-talk
  • Strategies to honor yourself while working with your inner critic
  • How negative self-talk can become an ally in your journey toward authenticity

Tune in to gain a new perspective on your inner dialogue and discover how understanding negative self-talk can help you navigate life with wisdom, self-compassion, and authenticity. 💕
