I’m glad to have identified my inner critic, and that others are affected by it too, not just me. Now I just want to tackle it.
It felt like a good first win to just be honest about my thoughts and take if story of my mindset. The journey is ahead and taking the first step was big!
Interesting, I enjoyed writing it down
I think journaling works well for me because it allows me to visualise my issues and situation
Journaling does work for me. I’ve never written anything down. I usually take mental notes and call it a day.
That I can quietn it down
Journaling helps me because it has forced me to address the problem head on, rather than just thinking about it
That I am my own worst enemy and I can beat HIM
Journaling feels good. Feels good to get those thoughts on paper and make the scenarios in my head more visual, which makes it easier to overcome.
It felt good, was nice to actually think about it and write it down, then begin to wonder how you can fix it
It was good to see it written down and break it down for once. In the past I would just have a conversation in my own mind but that didn’t really help, it just led to more overthinking.
I found that really helpful
That was honestly really helpful. There was an error message at the end lol so I never got the final response/question, but this reminded me of work I’ve done in therapy that I need to remember. We all have these inner critics or protective selves that once had a purpose, but now, in the case of ED and sexual trauma/shame, stop us from getting before before we even start trying.
I learned that I have far more work to do to improve my mental health. Even though it feels like im at peace with myself I haven’t been able to fully break through self doubt

I felt really seen, in an insightful but awkward way. Journaling got me closer to some uncomfortable truths and shows me I need to keep looking this direction.

I learned a lot about my inner critic and about myself. It helped me see some pretty important connections between my inner critic, my childhood trauma, my loneliness, my social and sexual anxiety. I’ve ignored these things for too long
I learned a lot. The prompting questions brought information out of me that I did not think I knew. I feel this has given me the start of a way forward with my issues
It helps to get out of the rabbit hole of just thinking about things, and actually put it down in front of me and see all the pieces together
Yes, gets things out of my head
Writing things down is nice. Having them repeated back to me so close to my original wording seems condescending
