I don't know what "intrapersonal communication" is, and after reading this article, I still have no idea of what it is. This article is loaded with incomprehensible and POV statements, and terrible grammar. AdamRetchless 21:14, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Removed section

I removed the following as it didn't seem to give enough information to someone coming to the topic for the first time. I've put it here in case someone wants to re-work it into the article. Jellypuzzle 13:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

"(NOTE): Self-communication although intrapersonal extends to reciprocal systems and renewal.

Thanks for putting it up.

I actually just learned the term today. I am so grateful for it as it is more specific to my interrests. I am so excited by its description. I myself will be doing more learning about this topic, where it is in the scientific realm etc... Either way good job! jVirus File:Confederate Battle Flag.svg 07:52, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Additions

Hi there, I went over the article today and tried to fix it up a little, including the grammar. I also made an addition regarding lucid dreaming, which hopefully serves to explain the topic a little better and provide a concrete (so to speak) example of what it may mean to communicate with yourself. I think there are some things here that definitely do not belong (i.e., how is reading a map communicating with oneself?) but before I make any removals I want to read up on the idea some more, and will come back to do work when I have time. Thanks. Kieranfox 05:57, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

But, dude, it's VICIOUS

I really appreciate this article. I'm hoping I'm not alone when I say it's rather reassuring to know that you are not, in fact, schizophrenic. And certainly someone with me on that one will have just said to themselves "but what if I am? HUH?". ;)

So . . . where's the part that describes how vicious this feedback loop can be? Lord knows we've all thought shitty thoughts about ourselves. Could this possibly have any relation to Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy, Self-Esteem, etc? Give us a lift?

Or am I actually raving mad? Nitcomb 17:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

INTRApersonal communication is valid both in scientific, logical and physiological senses. INTRApersonal communication involves commmunication that takes place insider oneself and involves act-ities that take place at virtually all times a human organism is alive. It is critical to recognize (and quite logically defensible) to conclude that INTRApersonal communication takes place before, during and after INTERpersonal communication. To wit, and individual involved in INTERpersonal communication must decide upon "what" they will say when encoding signals, what a signal "means" when they receive it from others (decoding) and "how" they will respond--encoding at a second level.

sanity?

'The time when there should be concern is when talking to oneself occurs outside of socially acceptable situations.' is this saying that sanity is a social construct of acceptable behavior? Ayin613 (talk) 04:36, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Of course it is. It has provided a living for 'psychologists' (wishy-washy story makers) for a long while. If some people are happy to pay them, why not? It doesn't mean you have to give any more credibility than for other (usually more interesting and imaginative) styles of literature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.212.63 (talk) 19:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

note

A spammer has gotten a hold of the self talk article that is supposed to link to psychology today and linked it to a totally unrelated article. It irritates me when this happens. I hate to delete the original source but don't have time to go find the original source. If someone wants to look just before my edit and find the original source for that -it would be great - otherwise, that article doesn't belong there b/c it links to a spammer! Update. I found the article and fixed it, but if we can find who linked to the wrong article, they should be banned as they are an SEO person using spam tactics on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brightideasguru (talk • contribs) 01:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Techniques For Re-Directing Negative Self-Talk

As athletes or students, we can all appreciate the feeling of stepping onto the 1st tee or preparing for a test and having thoughts of failure enter the mind even though properly prepared. Instead of succumbing to what might seem like inevitable doom, there are a few ways to overcome these debilitating thoughts before they sink your so-called ship. One way to to use a technique called Thought Stopping, suggested by Dr. Robert Weinberg and Daniel Gould in their textbook, Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology. According to the Weinberg text, this technique involves stopping potential negative self-talk before it has a chance to germinate any further than an initial thought. By using simple words as "Stop" or "No", this re-direct could halt the negative thought(s) from getting a foot hold in the mind.

Another technique is to acknowledge a negative thought by writing it down on a piece of paper and then putting it away. This signals the subconscious mind that you are aware of the thought but will deal with it at a later date making it less likely to occur. Dr. Sian Beilock, author of the book, Choke, suggests that a person focus on what is wanted instead of what is trying to be avoided. Focusing on a positive outcome is a way to keep the mind focused on success. However it has to be noted that outcome goals are detrimental without process goals. As the old adage states, an elephant must be eaten 1 bite at a time.

Lastly, keeping your expectations in check and realistic is a major key in overcoming negative self-talk. Overcoming perfectionism and ego will give the athlete or student a little psychological breathing room. NOTE: I will add citations at a later date.
