This week, as we continue working on new cases for the fall, we’re sharing an episode from our friends at A Slight Change of Plans . Psychologist Ethan Kross talks to host Maya Shankar about why our inner voice sometimes helps us make sense of our lives—and sometimes traps us in an endless spiral—and shares practical ways to get some distance from the chatter.
