I usually have a dialogue in my head but it is not directed at the therapists but me talking to me. I think I am brilliant, insightful and eventually can figure most challenges out. Sometimes I pretend I am a character in a favorite book and try to think or talk to myself like that character. I also talk a lot to the dogs aloud (talking to pets does not make you look as crazy as talking out loud to yourself with no pets or humans around. Not being a plant person - I consider talking to them to be nuts.).
