Hi,
What you are describing is exactly what I mean by cognitive therapy techniques. Sounds like you're learning to talk back to those self-critical thoughts. That's still a tough one for me, my therapist really has to poke and prod me to question (much less talk back to) my inner critic.
I think I've made some progress with re-interpreting other people's intentions though. I used to be really bad about assuming people were somehow doing something against me, now I'm usually able to question those thoughts and come up with alternatives.
Thanks for your post.
