Suggested Improvements — Week 2: The Mirror

Questions for Personalization

• What did your first transcript sound like when you heard it back?
• What sentence surprised you most on the page?
• Where did you feel embarrassed while reading?
• What theme kept appearing that you did not plan?
• What did you avoid saying in the first week that showed up in week two?

Suggested Improvements

• Add a contrast exercise: read the transcript to someone else vs reading it alone. Note the difference in your body.
• Expand the log to include one physical reaction marker (flush, stomach drop, clenched jaw).
• Add a short section on The Censor’s favorite disguises: boredom, irony, self-deprecation.

“The Vicomte, red in the face, was standing in front of the big mirror nervously twitching his moustache… ‘You have a very nasty tongue!’… He turned round immediately to examine his tongue in the mirror—the ugly, coated tongue of the inveterate smoker.”

The Recursive Self The infinite mirror loop of identity—you are the Function calling itself, not the Noun staring back.
