CHAPTER

The Weight of Inner Chatter

This chapter explores the profound impact of negative inner dialogue stemming from a threatening letter, leading to fear and anxiety. It delves into the concepts of rumination, worry, and the human tendency to catastrophize, using both personal stories and research to illustrate how our minds can distort reality. Through poignant examples, including those from Mr. Rogers, the chapter emphasizes that struggles with self-doubt and shame are universal experiences.
