Self-talk is intrapersonal communication, the thoughts with which we describe and interpret the world to ourselves. Irrational or untrue self-talk causes stress and mental disorder. Two common forms of irrational self-talk are statements that "awfulize"(catastrophic, nightmarish interpretations of an event or experience) or "absolutize"(words such as should, must, always, etc. that imply the need to live up to a standard). These ideas are based on the rational-emotive therapy of Albert Ellis(1975).

"Talking yourself up" is self-talk that builds up feelings of anger. Talking yourself up moves you from feelings of being hurt or scared to bigger unmanageable feelings of anger or rage.

During the educational stage, clients also are asked to monitor and record the types of self-statements they generate.
