AES82 Self-talk
Some people call me crazy when I tell them that one of my favorite things to do is talk to myself. I think not enough people understand how talking to yourself is actually very beneficial. To me personally, talking to myself forms this personal space, a judgment-free zone where I can just talk about the things that have been bothering me. It really helps me to rost things out and categorize them, it also helps me to put things into perspective. But overall it’s just a really fun thing to do.
When Im talking to myself I really feel comfortable and relaxed, and it creates a healthy coping mechanism and emotional expression. Because I’ve always struggled with expressing my emotions, the only way I express my emotion is by crying, so this is a good alternative. But most often self-talk also comes with crying, just letting go of the things that have been so heavy.
My therapist told me that self-talk can also help to reduce the urge to self-harm because you just spill it all out in your words. And most people that do self harm usually because seek the feeling of relief, so this is the perfect alternative. I would scream, swear, cry, all to feel that emotional relief. Other than the benefits for your mental health, self-talk can also help boost confidence and public speaking skills. I think more people should try to self-talk, and I hope soon there will be no stigma around it.

Self-talk could be a way to go deep into self-reflection, if we talk it out loud it could also mean we are venting a little outburst of self-thought or emotion. Just don't do it in the middle of the street or public Lol!
