Abstract
Now, having understood in detail the origins and effects of inner dialogue, [3], [4], [5], we might ask - what are the mechanisms that generate specific thoughts and feelings, and how might we control these? For example, how do we 'do' fear-based thoughts and behaviour-and is there a way to prevent unwanted reactions? How can we still the self-defeating internal chatter that plagues many people and stalls their performance? The answer proves to lie in the utilisation of the 'imaginative aspects of reason' inherent in clients, We here offer a 'Therapon' [6] of guidelines for internal dialogue based on Jungian 'active imagination', Neuro-linguistic Programming, and Psycho-chaotic Semiotics, which can help clients in achieving lasting and satisfactory long-term solutions.
