Hearing critical internal voices is a common mental health complaint, and not necessarily indicative of a serious problem, like schizophrenia. Annoying internal chatter can result from any number of issues - such as depression, phobias, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc. - or simply be a result of an active, ruminating mind. This concise paperback is chock full of exercises and strategies for helping to quiet them. The author's approach is unique in that rather than focusing on changing the words themselves, his methods emphasize changing how the words are spoken. Each chapter is devoted to a specific, easy-to-implement technique, like changing the location of the voice, its tempo, tone, or volume, imagining the words are spoken to music, etc. Andreas' methods walk readers through exercises for viewing these voices as useful and productive indicators of emotions, and not as something to fight against. He demonstrates how to take control of them - and transform them - in a beneficial and meaningful way.
