Shut Your Monkey

What does your monkey—your inner critic—look and sound like? In this podcast, Shut Your Monkey author and host Danny Gregory helps you identify the monkey and shows you why it is not you. Then, Danny talks to artist, therapist, and creativity coach Susanna Suchak about how the monkey can affect all areas of your life, the scientifically proven therapeutic value of journaling, and how to quiet your chimp’s damaging chatter. Monkey of the Week: The Blunderer, the monkey that tries to stop you with doubt. If that fails, it tells you that whatever you’ll doing will burn the house down. Monkey Tale: Debra’s monkeys really don’t want her to write. Find out why and what she did. What’s your experience with your monkey? How has it affected you, and how have you overcome it?
