Have you ever considered how you speak to yourself? Do you forgive yourself when you make a mistake? Or do you label yourself a failure?

For most of us, negative self-talk is an unconscious habit that we barely realise we’re doing. But psychotherapist Owen O’Kane believes our tendency to criticize, doubt, judge or hate ourselves can have a devastating impact on our mental health.

Breaking this habit can change your life. With Owen’s simple three-step method, you will learn to recognize, unpick and reprogram hard-wired thoughts and behaviours to build a resilient new relationship with yourself, full of freedom, happiness and self-respect.
