Your Questions Answered: Ethan Kross on Mental Chatter

Our brains can also torment us with intrusive and negative thoughts. We talked about this with psychologist Ethan Kross, who studies the concept of mental chatter. Today, Ethan returns to the show to answer listeners' follow-up questions about how we can cope with these harsh and incessant voices in our heads.
