"Hey, what's this Self-Talk app about?" "It's a quick and easy way to voice journal. It's been designed to make it easy to do self-reflection and help clarify your thoughts and feelings." "Voice Journalling? Whats the point of that?" "Journalling has plenty of benefits for mental well-being. But maybe you don't like or have time for writing. And what's easier than having a chat?" "I see. But how does it work?" "You record yourself asking a question.  Then you record a response.  Then you listen back to the response.  Like really listen. Hear how you feel. And then you can record a response: validate your feelings, give yourself reassurance or question what you heard. Whatever you need," "Hmm. So like an interview with yourself?" "It's creating a habit of talking to yourself like you would talk to a friend. Developing a healthier, stronger and kinder inner voice," "Interesting. But is this thing private? Or are you going to be able to listen in on what I say? "All your recordings stay on your device. They arent sent to a server, so there is no way I (or anyone else) can listen to them." "Ok, I guess I have nothing to lose by trying it out. How do I check this thing out?" "Just get it from the App Store. It has a subscription with various pricing plans -  and you get a free trial so you have nothing to lose by trying it out," "Great. I'll check it out!" --- Self-Talk Voice Journal requires a subscription. Every subscription comes with a free trial, so you can try out the app and change your mind at no cost.
