When Self-Talk Is Medicine

Step back from the mind’s patterns. Step forward with intention. Reconnect through the healing power of validating self-talk.

Your mind works hard to keep you safe — sometimes too hard.
In its effort to protect you, it can flood you with thoughts that feel harsh, urgent, or defeating. But there is another way.

When Self-Talk Is Medicine is a 5-day journey through gentle insights, poetic metaphors, and validating self-talk — all designed to help you disengage from automatic mental chatter and reconnect with the wiser, kinder voice inside.

This course offers soft, steady support for moments of overwhelm, self-doubt, or inner tension. You’ll learn how to rewire thought patterns through compassion, breathe with difficult feelings, and speak to yourself in ways that feel like care — not correction.

No pressure. No perfection. Just small, meaningful shifts toward that well-deserved meaningful connection that you so deserve.

Because sometimes, the most powerful medicine… is how you talk to yourself.

Lección 1: The Conveyor Belt Of Thought - Disengaging Without Blame

In today’s session, we’ll be guided to gently step back from the stream of automatic thoughts — like stepping off a conveyor belt that never stops moving. We’ll experience the power of simply noticing thoughts as they pass by, without judgment, and without needing to believe or fight them. This is a taste of spaciousness — learning to disengage without blame, and discovering that awareness itself is already a kind response.

Lección 2: Not My Friend, Nor My Enemy – Acknowledging The Choice

For the second session, we’ll experience a powerful shift in how we relate to our minds. Rather than seeing it as a friend or a foe, we’ll begin to view it as a survival tool doing its job — sometimes helpfully, sometimes not. This opens the door to choice. We’ll explore what it’s like to pause, breathe, and choose which thoughts to follow — empowering ourselves to respond with clarity and care.

Lección 3: For When It Hurts – Softening Through Self-Acknowledgement

In today’s session, we turn inward during moments of pain. You’ll be guided through the experience of softening — not to fix what hurts, but to acknowledge it. Through validating self-talk, we’ll learn how to stay present when it matters most, offering a gentleness that soothes the nervous system and nurtures emotional resilience.

Lección 4: What To Say Instead – Re-engaging With Intention

In our fourth session, you’ll be invited to speak back to yourself with compassion and clarity. This is where intentional self-talk begins to take root. You’ll explore the difference between automatic mental chatter and chosen, validating words that support your growth. It’s not about being positive — it’s about being present and aligned with what matters most.

Lección 5: The Greater Intelligence – Where Awareness Becomes Compassion

In our final session, we’ll experience what it’s like to rest in the deeper awareness behind all thought — the part of us that can notice without judgment and respond with compassion. We’ll reflect on the idea that validating self-talk isn’t just a mental skill, but a spiritual practice that honors your humanity. This is where presence becomes power, and awareness becomes love.

"some days youll remember, somedays you wont" Thats okay💖 You have a gift and im so grateful for you sharing that gift with the world. Thank you

Thank you for this, love the course when self talk is medicine truly speaks to the soul 🥹

This course came to me when I most needed it. Everything that Reuben spoke of in these lessons resonated with me at the level of soul. I am very grateful to have found it…or did it find me?

Wonderful content. Spoke directly to me. I am going to repeat the course.

Another excellent course to give us coping strategies and tools. Reuben is so compassionate and committed to this 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for this course Reuben, I love the mantras.
The world is so full of hate right now, it’s helpful to be reminded that we are part of the quiet change.

Wonderful course - highly recommended and chock full of gentle reminders, mantras and tools. We are not our thoughts, and our thoughts do not control us, much in the same way, we are not the thoughts of others nor do they control us. I find it especially helpful in this world of seemingly constant bombardment from social media; we have agency and can choose our own path, despite the rabbit holes of perspectives that take us off track from shining our light and being our best selves.

I simply love every single one of your courses and offerings. They all speak to my heart so much love and compassion! It always seems that I’ve reached the pinnacle when I complete any new course but your kindness and empathy towards others leads you to offer more and more! Thank you Reuben forever and ever❤️💕.

Another engaging course that helps me in my human and my spiritual life. Your voice soothes me and your words reach me. Your responses teach me and carry me forward.
All your hard work is so worth it. It is like manna in this desert life.
Thank you so much
🙏

Thank you for your earnestness in helping us may the true Gid bless you and keep you.
