Levels of Self-Talk

There are five levels of self-talk outlined by Helmsitter. Level 1, negative acceptance, is the most damaging where phrases like 'I can't seem to get anything right' prevail. Moving to level 2, recognition of needing to change, involves identifying problems without providing solutions. Level 3, decision to change, shifts self-talk to work for personal benefit, reframing negatives into positives.
