Please disprove the inner dialogue so mine will shut the fuck up sometimes.

  I wish I could help, but there are inconsistencies in my inner monologue that does assist in making it retreat into the background a little. For example, I interrogate my inner voice to find out what it *sounds* like; does it sound like me? Does an inner monologue actually make any sound? To me, it doesn't sound like anything, and helps reinforce the fleeting, slippery notion of an inner voice. It makes if feel, to me, as if that inner voice is the smoke from the underlying fire, as it were. You can also disrupt an inner voice by speaking a word out loud. It does seem to impair working memory, unfortunately. Actually, thought suppression in general is associated with causing the target thought to recur more.
