What did you learn about your inner critic today?

No

I have trouble with visualizations (aphantasia), however I think having a picture let’s me put a label on it, and makes it easier to address. This is helpful.

It’s a person that’s never happy with anything

Almost looked like me

Makes it real

The best version of me would batter it

I felt surprised of how realistic it is

It empowered me. It gave me something tangible that I feel I can actually defeat, or more importantly embrace and allow the functions it controls to be used when necessary

Somehow

Yes, it gave me something to visually add to the thoughts

It’s an odd one. I suppose personifying it and creating it as a separate thing is a good mental exercise

not quite what i expected but will give it a go

It feels like it might be a good mental exercise to provide a visualization of it

It reminded me of myself but better.

It is an ugly figure that represents the bully in myself that often puts me down. I hate it, and wish to rid of it. And I believe I have the power to do what I want in this life. I just want help…

It helped to put an image to my inner thoughts

My inner critic is the thought pattern every time. If I can identify it, I can challenge it.

Like something I can battle back against.

It’s something I can battle with if I can put in my full concentration

Yes, it resonated with me. It represents the situation well - a man with his head held low in shame with a shadow over his face that symbolise sensations of anxiety.
