 Hi Bryan had a similar problem ten years ago. 
I asked my Hypnotherapy tutor Stephen how I could stop this as it was beyond 
funny. 
He looked me straight in the eye and said. Stop talking to yourself. and 
walked off. 
First I was annoyed but then I began to think about what he had said. I had 
great respect for his abilities and knew that he was not being ackward. 
Later he came back and asked me. 
Well what has come to mind? 
 I replied 
 Well its as though there are two of me in my head having a discussion 
argument whatever. 
 Then he asked 
Do you have control over one of your voices? 
I said probably. 
 He then said well stop talking to yourself and smiled. 
Basically that night when I lay in bed the conversation started as normal. 
Along the lines of now remember you have to do such and such. What do you 
think Stephen meant? You should have done x y & Z.
 
Basically I found that if I did not engage in conversattion with myself, the 
other voice, me gave up after a time and there was realative silence. 
It got easier and easier. 
Aside from that I eventually, (some years later) started doing Mantra both 
written and chanted and that helped to disolve the ego a bit. This has 
brought about a deeper silence. 
Following on from that I recently got the book Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle 
which is brilliant. I also went to see him in London on Monday this week and 
have to say I have never seen so much love coming from any human being. 
This is his web site url

  Hope this helps 
Chris
