Within is the world’s first anonymous self-talk audio journal designed from evidence-based psychological techniques for emotional well-being. Process your emotions in real time as they come up with self-talk audio sessions rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. Learn to name your emotions to effectively move through them. Listen to anonymous community sessions to gain perspective and grow. Develop a daily self-talk practice, track your sessions over time and learn your emotional patterns. Within was created for authentic and vulnerable self talk, in a space of communal anonymity. A small reminder that you are not alone in how you feel. This is your space to release the thoughts that arise in your mind and create enough separation so you can reflect on them rather than be driven by them. Particularly the ones that lead to behaviors and actions that do not help you live the life you want. One of the most powerful transformation tool is the human voice. It was the voice of our caregivers that shaped us before we were ever born, and the voice of our peers, media and culture that continue to influence us to this day. In some ways, helpful and others not so much. Within is about reclaiming your authentic voice. The one you were born with. It’s the finger print of the inner you. Your essence. So be bold, speak your truth, let go of whatever is weighing you down and speak words that affirm your core values as you discover them over time. We call these moments self-talk sessions.
