You should check out Medito - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=meditofoundati.... It's free & non-profit with daily sessions. No need to pay for anything like this imo, but I have donated to Medito because they offer a good service, for free, and for the right reasons.

Fwiw, the benefit I've found is just in a more general mindfulness, and meditation can be part of that. Notice yourself tensing or clenching your jaw, and make a conscious effort to reduce that. Pay attention when something feels good, or hurts to think about. It has given me some modicum of clarity and engagement I didn't before.

Right, because anybody who consumes cannabis must be doing it all the time and willing to drive under the influence.

I think in second person too! I also coach myself and reassure myself pretty often, e.g "it's not a big deal", "you'll get over it" and so on.

I think the idea that there's such variation between individuals inner monologues is really fascinating. Particularly because I'm certain I can't point to a reason why I talk to myself the way I do.

Nice little touch in Fig.7 (actually, all of their visualizations) is that it uses the Orange/Blue contrast they identified!
