Internal language
Internal language is thinking in words or internal dialogue that helps you plan, interpret, and regulate actions.
Definition
Inner speech can be a form of self-instruction, commentary, simulation of a conversation or organizing experience. It can promote concentration and reflection, but it can also sustain self-criticism or anxiety if it takes a rigid, accusatory form. Not only the content is important, but also the tone of the internal language.
