A program aimed at helping everyone defeat their self-doubt.
Statistics from the National Science Foundation in 2017, show around 80 per cent of our daily thoughts are negative.
To help individuals manage their self-criticism and boost confidence in decision-making, Jennifer Slay, certified life coach and registered social worker, has started the Slay Your Inner Critic program.
Slay started as an entrepreneur with a goal to help people feel good about themselves.
A social worker since 1999, she has supported clients dealing with life problems by helping them find and adopt different strategies and coping mechanisms.
“It’s really important to become aware of the inner critic, because in reality it is there to protect you. It just wants to make sure that you’re not going to be hurt, so that it will say things to you so you don’t take a risk, because the brain likes predictability,” she explained.
The methods she taught others were also able to support slay herself through the difficult times in life. She then decided to put what she learned and created a course to support others.
Slay Your Inner Critic focuses on building self-awareness and developing effective communication skills to communicate with not only others, but also ourselves.
Those wishing to participate can do so starting Oct. 25. The program, running eight weeks, will give attendees access to 90-minute sessions once a week on zoom, and two individual one-on-one sessions with assigned coaches.
The $600 program limits the number of participants to 10 per group.
Slay expressed that understanding one’s own inner critic helps support individuals to move forward instead of stagnating in situations.
The content of the program includes self-awareness, reprogramming the mind, letting go, change and success, emotional intelligence, and relationship management.
Facebook and WhatsApp groups will be created for participants to support and connect with each other outside weekly meetings.
