Kind of a hard exercise. But my inner critic is more like bad experiences replayed in my head. Inner coach is the good ones and the feelings after.
It was enlightening,for sure I will use this see what improvements I get
I need more work at summoning the coach but it’s very helpful when I can
My inner critic makes me feel dead and numb but inner coach shows me there is light and openness and that I don’t have to believe the critic.
My inner critic makes me feel cold and tense, like when you’ve had too strong an energy drink and that icey feeling ripples through you. My inner coach is warm, radiant. A beacon of positivity and possibilities.
I’m a Harry Potter fan so the metaphor of the Dementor and Patronus resonate with me. My inner critic is a Dementor looking to suck the happiness out of me…my inner coach helps me to muster up enough positive thoughts and memories to fight off the Dementor.
My inner coach this time was Rick from big mouth. Idk why but that was really resonating with me tonight. Helped to lighten the tension of how serious my inner critic can be while encouraging me to fuck and saying I’m sexy.
I never realized , that even as an argumentative person, I never argued for myself. I almost whole heartedly believe everything my critic says. I need to realize I have both and that the critic needs to be put in his place
My inner coach has a warm voice, imbued with a sensuality that I don’t quite feel myself yet, but can see growing stronger if I exercise it.
My inner coach is my past lovers. I’ve never had any complaints apart from ‘it’s a little too big‘. They all tell my critic he’s having a laugh
Today he seems to be missing probably because I’m too tired
I gave them a physical form, something tengible I can really think of when through inner criticism, for example.
Even before this activity, I’ve been working on improving my inner-coach which is what I really consider my true voice not a coach that’s separate from me. I basically speak back to my inner critic myself with logic.
I didn’t have one I didn’t know what to say. Afterall the inner critic is right it does go wrong in the bedroom so how can I argue back? More direction was needed I feel like this activity knocked me back a lot
It’s not so much an inner critic for me but an overwhelming feeling of stress and anxiety that prevents me from even thinking about trying to relax and get hard
It feels like me. But it’s nice to disagree with the inner critic that I normally just listen to without questioning it
My inner critic has been prolific recently, so it very nice to be able to confront it with words that feel like they come from me saying there is not huge pressure to perform and enjoyment and fun should be the focus
It felt like he blasted the inner critic with positive proof of my functionality.
My inner coach reaffirmed how attracted I was to my partner and gave me a pat on the back with a reassuring “you’re going to be hard trust me” ![]()
My inner critic appeared as my sister this time, which makes sense as I’ve been struggling with familial trauma. At first my inner coach was violent to an extreme and disturbing degree against my inner critic, but then I realized that was another part of my inner critic, trying to bring out my worst self. Then my real inner coach came out. Calm. Serene. Reminding me thoughts like this, violent or sexual, don’t make me bad. It was in my voice. And things calmed down. I’m looking forward to taming my inner critic.
