Replace Harsh Self-Talk with the Way You'd Speak to a Close Friend

When making a mistake, immediately stop, imagine a close friend made it, and audibly speak to them kindly instead. As part of the exercise, Attia recorded the compassionate response on his phone and texted the audio to his therapist.

“every single time I did something where I would have that self-talk, I would have to immediately stop myself and pretend that it wasn't me that just did that, but it was one of my closest friends. And instead I would audibly speak to that person as though they are the one that made the mistake.”
