What to do if your inner voice is cruel | Ethan Kross

Ethan Kross is a psychologist and professor at the University of Michigan who specializes in the study of self-talk, introspection, and emotion regulation.

In this video, he discusses the concept of "chatter" – the inner voice that we all experience – and how it can sometimes turn cruel and negative, causing us to doubt ourselves and feel anxious or depressed.

Kross explains how to identify this negative chatter and offers practical strategies for quieting it and replacing it with more positive and compassionate self-talk. By learning to manage our inner voice, we can improve our emotional well-being and achieve greater success in all areas of life.
