I think we are basically in agreement about part 2: the negative self-talk stems from deeper issues which must be resolved, simply reversing the self-talk is in a way just not lying/communicating with the self emotions and feelings and beliefs which are there whether or not one looks in the mirror and says "I am a good person of value" 15 times a day. In a way the proscribed positive self-talk actually covers up the problems that need solving because it's a superficial solution to a deeper problem.
