This video explores the impact of personal identity (self-image) and self-talk on hope and self-sabotage. It is not unusual for those caught on the Cycle of Reactivity to find themselves developing both negative self-talk and a sense that they are unable to meet other’s expectations. We discuss ways to address “stinking thinking” and take incremental steps toward a positive identity of hope and possibility.

Have you heard a child or young person speak to themselves in a derogatory way? How can you address this?
Do you have self-talk habits or aspects of your self-image (identity) that could do with a shift in a more positive direction?
