My inner critic wants to control me. The coach encourages me to trust myself.

My inner critic wants me to hide away, thinking it’s protecting me from failure. But by doing that, it’s setting me up for failure. My inner coach wants me to challenge myself and take risks, knowing that this will lead to greater happiness and satisfaction.

My inner critic tells me I’m not good enough and undeserving. The coach’s voice brings confidence when i need to make decision
It’s the same voice I hear.
My inner critic wants to see me fail with an “im always right” attitude. My inner coach wants to show me that im more than the critic beleives and i can show that
I need to learn to challenge my inner critic, and give it less power than it has held for as long as I can remember.
It’s me, a militaristic, strong, athletic, firm, and sarcastic ass version of me, poking fun at the critic and his sorry ass attempts at making me feel like shit. I love it.
Inner critic is strong currently the coach will take a lot of work to be effective. Past failures loom large

This is my experience too.
I realized that a single failure is still too big a threat to my confidence. I must work on my coach more and more if I’m to regain confidence. But I will. Confidence will not come up suddenly.
The inner coach is there, that’s for sure. The inner critic lingers on so working on the coach is a key next step.
I learned more about how to see myself through my coach’s eyes, and less through my critic’s, and more about taking an objective, unbiased view on the things that are bothering me.
I learned that you can share an encouraging word to yourself even in the midst of the critical thoughts. Your thoughts and views do not have to be the same at any given time. You can take multiple approaches in your head.
My inner coach felt like reassuring hands on my shoulders. Disarming the inner critics failure messages and removing the goal as a pressure point. It was more about enjoying the sensation and journey rather than hitting a target. It removed some of the pressure - at least in the exercise
Ill use positive affirmations to bring out my inner coach. Talk to myself luke i talk to others i encourage
It was good to have an inner voice of support. I’ll just have to turn that volume up and turn down the inner critic volume.
Here to help and can be summoned easily once you notice the critic in play
That my inner coach is with me
Felt great to explore the balance between critical and bolstering thoughts. I hope with practice I can call on my supportive coach as needed to lift me up.
Really helpful to bring the two to life and explore the impact of listening to one vs the other
