That at moments of short comings is when my critic is hardest
I learned that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your partner. I haven’t done much journaling so I’m still figuring out if it works for me.
My critic makes me feel worse about myself
I see the benefit of journalling, helping me to confront thoughts that might be festering in the back of my mind.
Yeah it’s a good exercise
It does help a bit. It helps me take a deeper dive into the issue
Eh, I don’t know. I feel like it is rhetorical at times, but it’s nice to lay it out in writing to analyze.
I really learned a lot about myself there. My craving for routine and predictability means I struggle to cope when things go differently to how I expected
It was really good. It definitely brought up things I knew about but didn’t realized we’re connected ie fear of being alone and fear of not being taken care of
I honestly didn’t know I had an inner critic or didn’t realize it. Now that I have identified it I now know how to counteract it. This is given me more confidence and I’m looking forward to the pleasurable times I have with my wife.
I realized that the effects of my inner critic affecting my confidence in my ability to satisfy my girl. Also had a wider effect on my overall health and self worth leading to other behaviors that are not healthy such as compensating by eating unhealthy, Not getting good sleeps and the inability to be in the moment in other aspects of my life

I realized that I am over thinking about jealous thoughts and that turns into anger/ fear and it affects my erection.
Although what my inner critic says is very negative it’s coming from a place of trying to protect me
That it’s getting in the way of me enjoying sex with my wife
Writing it down and seeing it helps a lot, I think. This exercise taught me that my critic starts blocking me as soon as i have the thought, long before I get to the bedroom.
I don’t see that it helps at all yet
Asshole
Critic gets in early with thoughts to not engage as it won’t be as long or as satisfying as I would like.

I think my critic has already decided I won’t last long enough in bed to satisfy my partner, so it wants me to not even bother
