Hey everyone, Emily Abadi here.

You are listening to another installment of Hurtle Moment from Hurtle.

This week for the show, I wanted to talk about something that I have been having many

conversations about lately, both with my friends and, of course, over-direct message with

many of you.

And that is negative self-talk.

She is a New York licensed mental health counselor as well as a New Jersey licensed

professional counselor and also the director of clinical content at Talk Space.

For our conversation today, we unpack everything from what is negative self-talk, what can

cause negative self-talk, if there are some individuals that are more prone to it than

others, as well as, and I never heard of this before, the different types of negative

self-talk.

and strategies that you can use regularly to help foster a more positive inner dialogue.

I certainly struggle with negative self-talk, like many of you.

I think it's important to be open and honest about that.

Specifically, one of the different types of negative talk that Dr. Service talks about
