WHAT STUDENTS ASK US THE MOST

Before you enroll, it helps to know exactly what you’re signing up for. Here are the questions we hear most often, answered clearly and honestly. Make sure to read them thoroughly, so there’s no room for misunderstandings.

How do you help teenagers manage their inner critic?

Start by teaching them to notice the thought as it happens, rather than absorbing it automatically. Naming it as “just a thought, not a fact” creates space to question it.

Self-awareness means noticing your thoughts and choosing how to respond. Self-criticism means accepting harsh thoughts as fact without questioning them.

Negative thoughts often show up fast and feel automatic, which makes them seem true. Learning to pause and question them makes it easier to see they’re not always accurate.

No, it means responding to mistakes fairly instead of exaggerating them. This lesson focuses on honest self-talk, not denial or excuse-making.

It varies by person, but consistent practice of noticing and questioning thoughts speeds up the process. Small, repeated moments of awareness build the habit over time.

It rarely disappears completely, but it can lose its power over time. The goal isn’t silence; it’s learning to respond instead of automatically believing it.
