It's time to break up with your toxic mind.

Have you ever had thoughts that drag you down, rather than lift you up? Thoughts that make you feel hopeless and stuck? You're far from alone. Many people struggle with negative thoughts about themselves—and the world. But if your unrepentant ruminations are getting in the way of living your life, it's time to tell your toxic mind to cut the crap. It's time to stand up to your inner critic. And it's time to show negative thoughts the door—once and for all.

Written by a psychotherapist and grounded in proven-effective mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the irreverent, no-nonsense approach in this snarky—yet hopeful—guide will help you "ghost" your negative thoughts, put an end to toxic self-talk, and start living like a badass, with all the positivity and confidence needed to reach your goals.

Over time, negative self-talk can lead to more than just a pessimistic outlook on life. It can destroy your confidence; damage your relationships; and lead to anxiety, depression, and a host of other mental health conditions. It's time to say, enough! This little book will give you the tools—and the courage—you need to tell your toxic mind to f*ck off for good.

      Psychotherapist Krimer (The Essential Self-Compassion Workbook for Teens) provides an affable manual for quieting one’s inner critic. “You must acknowledge the harm you’re doing to your sense of self and take accountability for the choices in language that you make,” the author counsels, urging readers to combat their “shitty self-talk” with mindfulness and journaling. Exploring the evolutionary mechanism behind negative thinking, Krimer suggests that humans who were more sensitive to negative stimuli—such as fear of rustling noises in the woods—were more likely to survive long enough to procreate. To deal with the feeling that “I can never be in the moment,” she recommends practicing mindfulness and noticing thought patterns so that one can better recognize “when our thoughts rekindle negative emotions.” She also offers self-reflective journaling exercises that include devising counterarguments to negative thoughts by considering such questions as “What story does this thought uphold?” and “Why am I so quick to agree with this thought?” Krimer’s tone is that of a good friend (“Changing habits of the mind is fucking hard”) and readers will appreciate the straightforward advice. Approachable and wise, this plucky volume is worth a look.
