Playback session - audio sample

Nearly all of us experience negative self-talk at times--reminding us of past failures, torturing us with self-criticism and abuse, or describing frightening futures. However, some people live with these mean inner voices full time. It seems intuitive that the best solution would be to completely eliminate these voices, but a state of inner silence would create catatonic immobility, and trying to stop them altogether usually makes them even worse. It isn't what the voices say but how they say it--loudly, derisively, abusively, insistently--that's such a trigger for depression, anxiety, and low-self esteem. In this workshop, instead of focusing on the content of the voices, you'll learn and practice a variety of NLP techniques that rapidly change the volume, tonality, tempo, and location of a voice, so it loses its negative power and can even make you laugh!
