1. The line the critic says most often.

Word for word. Don't soften it.

2. When does it fire?

Specific situations, times, people, after specific events.

3. What is it trying to protect you from?

It's rarely random. Usually rejection, failure, embarrassment, or repeating an old pain.

4. Is it accurate today?

Often the critic was right ten years ago and hasn't updated.

5. The inner-coach rewrite.

Same intent, different tone. Honest, not cheerful. A line a serious friend would say.

6. One small thing you'll do this week the new line allows.
