you surely can quit telling yourself the exaggerated and goofy crap you pile up on top of it.

This sounds pretty much like Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which is used to treat depression and anxiety.

  Not “sounds pretty much like”; it is the basis of CBT. Beck was the M.D. Psychiatrist who began it (he called it Cognitive therapy), and Ellis was the Ph. D. Psychologist who began it (he called it Rational emotive therapy).
