– Dr. Ruth StaffordClinical Psychologist

“I Am Who I Say I Am offers a fresh opportunity to fully engage in the process of self-improvement in a way that is designed to instill true and lasting personal change. Mischa’s presence and person are inspiring enough, but the program she has developed as a result of her life-altering experiences in the psychological realm stands alone.” – Alison Urbank, PhD.

Clinical Psychologist

“I Am Who I Say I Am is a cognitive-behavioral program that cuts quickly to core beliefs, and dismantles them in the light of awareness, thus promoting real and lasting healing. Through the use of techniques and guided introspection, contained within a buoyant, loving, and non-judgmental atmosphere, fears that feed even a biologically-embedded anxiety or depression may be regulated for greater well-being.”

– Robynn Zender, MSProgram in NursingUniversity of California, Irvine

Reviews

“I Am Who I Say I Am provides desperately needed messages for teens who feel invisible. The My Discovery Journal is magnetic to help teens awaken their inner voices: Yes! I AM. See me. Hear me. Feel me. I exist. I matter. I AM valuable.”

– Jennifer Cimaglia, MS, MFT

“The I Am Who I Say I Am My Discovery Journal is an innovative approach to engage individuals in the process of positively shaping their minds for relationship and life success. While people of all ages will benefit greatly, I am especially enthused about empowering our children to avert the psychological difficulties that plague many adults."

I form beliefs by repeating my thoughts

When we tell ourselves something enough times, we start to believe it. Our thoughts, or ‘self-talk’, create our beliefs.

A boy in one of our programs said, “I’d like to be a doctor, but I’m not good at math or science.”

Now there’s a powerful belief.

What we believe about ourselves is how we behave.

The more he tells himself, “I AM not good at math or science” — the more he avoids activities

that involves math or science. To give himself a chance to learn math and science, he has to

change his belief about his capabilities.

He learned to replace the old thought, “I AM not good at math and science” with the new

thought, “I AM learning math and science.”

Which belief is holding you back?

Thoughts create beliefs.
