What did you learn about your inner critic's tactics?

I am hoping that it does - difficult to say yet

We’ll see

It really does feel like it’s helping

Helped me realize where my thoughts and feelings were coming from.

It helps

I am severely harsh on myself for no reason s d need to learn to relax and let go of past failures. Not everyone is a pornstar and even pornstars need help from time to time

It helped to verbalise my internal thoughts, and recognise that my inner critic has stopped me from trying to initiate sex when I want to.

It was helpful in writing down my thoughts and feelings and how my inner critic is afraid of me succeeding. It would not be able to exist if I succeed and not listen it it.

That his main weapon is reminding of past failures and that orgasm is the goal. There is joy to be found in the entire experience.

Journaling helps a ton, it’s a way to vent without having to feel embarrassed by telling say a partner, or family member.

Writing it down definitely helps.
It slows down the thought process and makes me think about it more in depth

Making me slow down and think about my feelings rationalises them

Writing it down did help.

My ED doesn’t seem to be as much caused by negative thoughts of myself per se but more by thoughts itself, I’m an overthinker.

There’s power in naming my inner critic. I thought naming it would empower it.

I overthink way too much, I need to just enjoy the moment with my amazing girlfriend

I need to learn to push through the fear and take the next step. I need to feel okay with wanting something

I need to find a way not to be branded by my inner critic. They can’t be the one defining who I am.

My inner critic stems from performance anxiety and not wanting to leave your partner unsatisfied. Journaling helped rationalize my thoughts, meaning that I can realize the irrationalities in my head

It sort of helps. I already kind of knew these things but I suppose it helps to articulate it.
