What If the Loudest Voice in Your Life Is a Liar?

Your brain has been running its mouth for years—whispering self-doubt, predicting disaster, and reminding you of that embarrassing thing you did in 2014. It acts like a know-it-all, a fortune teller, and a relentless critic all rolled into one. But what if your thoughts aren’t always telling the truth? What if they’re just bad scripts written by an overdramatic narrator?

In “I’ll Teach You to Talk Back,” Dr. Kevon Owen—a psychotherapist with a sharp wit and zero tolerance for mental nonsense—teaches you how to challenge the inner monologue that fuels anxiety, self-doubt, and overthinking. Using humor, psychology, and real-life strategies, this book will help you:

Identify the sneaky lies your brain tells you (spoiler: they’re ridiculous).

Reframe anxiety so it stops hijacking your thoughts.

Call out cognitive distortions like a mental lawyer cross-examining a bad witness.

Talk back to the voice in your head—with facts, humor, and a little sass.

Packed with relatable stories, psychological insights, and practical exercises, this book isn’t about toxic positivity or “just thinking happy thoughts.” It’s about rewriting the way you talk to yourself so you can finally quiet the noise and take control of your own mind.

Your brain has been running the show long enough. It’s time to talk back.
