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). 4, record 4, English, - soliloquy
