In this brief instructional segment, Dallas Bragg introduces a recovery tool he calls "narration," which involves audibly describing one’s cravings, emotions, or internal urges. By verbalizing the feeling—either via a voice memo, speaking aloud to oneself, or sharing with another—the internal energy is transferred to an external medium, diminishing its intensity. Once externalized, the individual can engage in a dialogue with the feeling, asking questions like why it’s present and what to do next, often leading the craving or emotion to dissipate. Bragg encourages viewers to try the method and share their experiences in the comments.

I've been talking about this powerful but very simple technique that my clients have been using in their recovery journey, and I just wanted to share it with you. And that is what I call narration, or audibly chronicling what you're feeling. So by speaking it out loud, the power is taken away from whatever it is— cravings or difficult emotions. When my clients are feeling cravings, I suggest they send me a voice memo or send one to themselves or someone else, or just say it out loud wherever they are. Parts of me are having cravings, or part of me is sad. You know, once that energy is taken from the internal to the external through the words, its potency is dulled tremendously. Then you can actually have a conversation with it, right? Why are you here? Where do I feel you? What can I do next? Etc. By the time you have spoken through the experience, often it goes away. Try it yourself and let me know in the comments.
