Self-talk is important for helping your self-confidence in being an effective career problem solver. First, positive self-talk helps by creating a positive expectation.Second, positive self-talk reinforces positive behavior (Reardon et al., 2019). By that same measure, negative self-talk can create problems when you come to a career decision-making event.
Self-talk is an interesting topic that I honestly did not realize I was partaking in, when switching ABA employers approximately two years ago. First a little background information: I was employed with a small in-clinic ABA company that was in the process of being bought out and merged with a larger, more recognizable company. As a result I, noticed a lot of things becoming very cookie cutter and one-sided. I felt the children who attended the clinic on a daily basis were getting overlooked and forgotten about. I have many positive words to say about my performance, but I also found myself speaking very negatively about going to work. And I remember saying that I would never send my own children there for services.
So I utilized one of the self-talks I had for myself; I am an advocate for children and I am good at that to help bring up the concerns I had for the children Ultimately, it resulted in me getting reprimanded for going against the company’s mission statement. The positive situation that arose was that I soon found a wonderful company that seemed to truly care about each child and understood that none of the children are cookie cutter learners and neither are the employees. I was able to spread awareness of the unethical things that could occur in clinics and it resulted in changes that bettered my new ABA center.
