Signs you're dealing with chatter (CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE)
I’ve translated Kross’s descriptions of chatter into a collection of symptoms based on cognitive, physical, and emotional categories.
Cognitive Signs
Difficulty concentrating
Obsessive focus and repetition of bad outcomes
Rumination, or rehashing of past events
Worry, through the anxious imagining of future events
Physical Signs
Feeling pressure in your chest
High heart rate/blood pressure
Gastrointestinal issues
Sleep issues
Emotional Signs
Easily irritated/angered
Feeling low-level fear or dread
Feeling isolated
Feeling powerless or like surrendering
Whether you fall into chatter in response to a one-off stressful event or you realize that chatter is more of a chronic issue, you’ll notice these symptoms playing out in your day.
