Quick takeaways
- Challenging negative self-talk can be done by using linguistic distancing techniques like referring to oneself in the second or third person, and taking on the perspective of a wise other person.

Strategies for Controlling Negative Self-Talk
Negative thought patterns and rumination are ineffective strategies for controlling our thoughts. The book 'Chatter' by Ethan Cross provides useful strategies to change our inner monologue and fight our inner critic. These strategies include coaching ourselves through linguistic distancing, using our own name or the second person pronoun, and taking the perspective of a wise other person. Normalizing our experiences and activating alter egos can also help shift our perspective and create distance from negative self-talk.
