Tools to Bolster Your Mental Health & Confidence | Dr. Paul Conti
"What are you saying to yourself in quiet moments when no one else is listening or when there's a pause in the action in your life? What are you saying to yourself? What messages are you giving yourself? And oftentimes we're telling ourselves things about ourselves that are often negative or often critical, and we're not aware that we're saying these things over and over to ourselves."
Dr. Paul Conti explains that examining our self-talk is crucial for understanding ourselves. Many people unconsciously repeat negative messages to themselves without awareness. This internal dialogue significantly impacts mental health and behavior patterns.
