Psychological Noise

This is the voice or voices inside your head. It can be a noise of awareness or of emotion. It can be the noise of psychopathy and narcissism. It's here where we carry on a conversation apart from the one in which our mouths are engaged. Psychological noise can work to our advantage, kind of a sub-routine of critical analysis while the rest of our senses gather data as we engage another person in conversation. It's a skill and it takes practice. The trick here is managing our psychological noise, our thought processes, in being able to assess more objectively. We can do this by recognizing certain barriers and perceptual influences that come into play while we're engaged in threat assessment.
