What did you learn about your inner critic today?

I don’t like it

Towering, looming

He trying help but he’s not at all. It’s just making me not fuction properly by like I should he

Negative images just like my inner critic

17

It’s there

It’s concerned about performance, foreplay abandonment and safety. It triggers stress response and makes me tense

Yes it was good so visualise and seperate it from myself

Yes it does and it’s better now to have a image of him

My inner critic doesn’t have a form in my mind. It’s a thought, not some little devil hovering in the back of my mind. For purposes of the exercise, it will work. But it’s not what I think of

Not really

Helpful to have a visualisation

Somewhat

I guess I hadn’t imagined it before and actually putting an image on it helped me realise it isn’t me, it’s something different

It made me cry. He scares me.

Yea

At first it doesn’t align with what I thought it would be but I understand how it will help which gives me hope

It’s all very new. I like making it a separate part of me and not all of me or even the true me. The image was ok but the learnings were more helpful.

The representation was pretty close to what I imagined. I always thought my inner critic was an “evil” version of myself that wants to see me fail and be miserable

I really like the technique, the image is clear and I have strong hope it will help me
