Whenever I get thoughts that are negative, or making excuses for me to follow through the path and behavior that I want. I have to say them out loud in different voices, to make my thoughts have less control over me.

My thought process is bad right now, for example to exercise I get loads of excuses and thoughts that make me not do it, but I know this, I know they are just bad thoughts and I should just do it anyway, but then I start to beat myself down for being so stupid to letting these thoughts overpower me and I feel sad, then I feel stupid and sad that I make myself feel stupid and sad....

Anyway...yeah.

I'm a mess.

And this exercise seems weird.

So your therapist is cultivating evil alternate personalities in your mind that have different voices.

It's part of mindfulness, CBT and stuff. It's the chattering monkey brain thing.

it can't possibly work if you don't give it a hack.
i think it's a good exercise. can you think of anyone you know personally that would ever say the things you say to yourself?

That's idiotic

So youre sayin that having your own therapist makes you the epitome of balance & fulfillment? ok. Not tryin to belittle tc in any way tho, just humbly agreeing with him.

I don't think this would work on me, because my first inclination is to go with the persuasive tough guy Russian accent
