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

I found it really useful, especially the analyses of what I was saying, I actually got quite emotional acknowledging my thoughts and emotions because I realized how harsh I am on myself.

That it’s some heavy, mean shit I’m dealing with. Needs to fuck off…

My inner critic is a dickhead and is an opp. I need to learn to control it and love myself more

It’s trying to protect me but making things worse

My critic is a jerk and I need to fuck it off

Yes, it made feel like I was being understood.

It was different than I was used to. Instead of keeping it in I was able to write it down so maybe it will help

Yes writing helps

Writing feels helpful and it feels like I’m making stronger more lasting connections to the ideas presented here

Yes, I used to be against it but now I feel it’s helping me in many ways.

Writing it down helps me to clarify and understand where my feelings are coming from.

I am surprised how much I wrote

Very enlightening introspective exercise. I learned a lot about how I approach intimacy and how this approach is harmful

That the inner critic exists long before the bedroom. It’s worse before, and not there during, but only because I accept it’s not going to get up.

It does work because I can see the issue

Yes the questions were good and provoked me to think

I learnt once more that the inner critic comes in to break us down and pull us back…

I think so. It would be nice to see everything I wrote down somewhere

I feel more empowered to overcome my inner critic but I know it’s still there in the back of my mind the next time I have an opportunity for sex.

I became more aware of my inner critic and identified that I’m already working to challenge it.
