In this episode, I continue the discussion from last week and highlight negative self-talk. I break down cognitive distortions, thought processes that put a negative “spin” on experiences, situations, and even people in our lives. I discuss the toxic effects negative self-talk can have on your mind, mood, behavior, and relationships. Lastly, I link the concept to Season 3 of Insecure.
