When the inner voice morfs into chatter, it sinks us in three domains of life that i think are three domains that we care a lot about and really make life worth living. Chatter consumes our attention to point where we have very little left over to focus on other things. It can alienate us from others, lead us to feel socially rejected and alone. We also know that hatter can undo our habits. And if you think about somon's situation, i think it really highlights just how toxic this can be. Many people think that experience stress like stress kills. This is not exactly correct. The ability to experience a stress response is an amazingly useful biological reaction to confronting threat.
