COURSE
When Self-Talk Is Medicine
With Reuben Lowe
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.

Loved his reinforcement of choosing to speak something different into myself. I don’t have to sit in the negative. I can choose something different.

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.
