My inner coach simply negated the inner critic and was positively reaffirming the reality I’ve lived reminding me of the abundance of positive sexual experiences I’ve had.
coach was gentle, firm, positive, relaxed, friendly. confident in me and my body and our capabilities. lighthearted. it was really nice to experience
My coach reminded me that I’ve done this before, and to keep my head in the game. You got this!
Coach was positive and reminded me of how much I enjoy being intimate.
The inner coach was my voice but how I speak at my most confident to others
People often tell me I’m passionate and make them feel better … I can flip that and take the same advice I give others
My inner critic and inner coach are portrayed in my mind as the same person but 2 different versions of that person. I felt my coach become stronger as the argument went on between them and the critic and in the end escorted them out my thinking space

Critic and coach are two versions of myself with different personalities (critic - unsure; coach - calm and cool) and dressed differently. Coach reminded me of recent successes that countered concerns
My inner critic was taking over my thoughts and body. I found it really hard to get the inner coach to stand up for me. I definitely need to work on this. Don’t seem to see the light in the tunnel yet.

The critic and coach were both kind of disembodied. There wasn’t really an image that helped me visualise this. The audio moved way too quickly and the guy’s tone is really unhelpful. I’m not sure this exercise will be helpful for me.
Inner Critic: It’s not going to work tonight because it’s never worked.
Inner Coach: You don’t know that. All the pieces of the puzzle are in place. All you need to do is put them together. I have faith in you.

Struggled with that
I feel like the inner coach stepped on a little weak inner critic
I found the inner critic is deeply tied to my emotional state. There are feelings that are unresolved that I need to work through and communicate to myself and my partner before any change can commence. My coach helped me reassure myself, but recognized I can’t allow emotions to remained bottled because it’s impacting so many parts of me.
While I see the 2 personas, the critic feels like it has been farming for xp for awhile now

This exercise worked well for me because I wrote down what the critic was saying and what the coach was saying. It was a back and forth dialogue that helped. I know I need to continue to practice to see progress so I will keep pushing!

I feel like this part will take some consistent work to really get on top of. The critic feels like an immediate response
Inner critic - you need pills to make it work. You won’t get/keep it up without them.
Inner coach - you managed to get/keep it up once last weekend as well as a few years ago consistently, just remember the methods learnt and all will come together.

My inner coach reminded me that I am good and strong enough to achieve the things I want in life, and to take risks and get out of my comfort zone.
The inner critic told me I’m not enough and am not deserving of love or patience.
They were playing chess. The inner critic had a more sinister-like appearance and the inner coach more angelic
