We started this conversation by having you tell me about your experience as a young undergrad at Penn, who was dealing with setbacks when you first got to college.

Ethan Cross, welcome to Hidden Brain.

He has studied the different roles of the voices we hear inside our heads. The harsh judge, the fearful prognosticator, the repetitive ruminator.

If our inner voice is consistently a source of anxiety or a driver of depression, why do we have an inner voice at all?

Ethan Cross is a psychology professor at the University of Michigan and he wrote a book called Chatter.

He's come on the show before and he's done some work that shows that when people use their own names when they're talking to themselves, a fosu, I know you mess that up, but you got this or whatever, that that actually has a meaningful impact and because we're advice giving creatures we generally just don't take our own advice.

Ethan Cross has a great book called chatter about that. When we say words like I, I'm stupid, I'm an idiot, I screwed up. Our bodies have a chemical response. When we say things like man, Joe, you messed that up. Joe, you slept in all weekend. It creates space. It creates a psychological space that has a physiological consequence.

I want you to read this book. It's by Ethan cross K r o s s and the book is called chatter.

He studies that voice in your head that never shuts up.
