Eh, I'm no shrink, but I think the answer is "it depends."
See, some people thrive on compliments and get devastated by negative feedback. For them, negative self-talk is probably a bad idea.
Others are stubborn asses who hear criticism and move mountains to prove the criticizer wrong. Those people would probably benefit from negative self-talk.
And vice-versa.
Just like not everyone is right-handed or extroverted, this one-size-fits-all shrink-rap can be misleading.
But what do I know? Don't listen to me; I'm an idiot.
