Self Talk : 10 Stories You Tell Yourself that Hold You Back...And How to Overcome Them

Self-Talk chronicles ten common stories people tell themselves that keep them stuck and provides specific actions they can take to change those stories. Author Marianne Renner describes how she discovered the power of self-talk in her quest to overcome decades of debilitating depression and addiction. After applying these strategies to conquer her mental health and addiction challenges, she realized that they can be applied to almost any problem, whether at work or at home. The same lessons that helped her climb out of the pit of despair have helped thousands of others overcome their greatest roadblocks. Self-Talk portrays the author’s personal experience with sabotaging stories of self-talk, as well as other real-life examples from her coaching clients. In addition to inspirational stories, this poignant guidebook is packed full of practical action steps to help people get unstuck and start moving forward in any area of their business or personal life. Marianne’s unique Storyteller Framework—SEAR—breaks down the process of how stories are created so that anyone who feels held back by their thoughts can change the script inside their head and overcome almost any obstacle they may face.
