Self-Ability
"Self-ability" is one's perception of what one is "able" to do.
Domestic violence includes emotional abuse. Abusive partners use emotional domination as a control mechanism that includes imposing feelings of worthlessness on their partner. Our participants are so often mired in what they perceive as being "wrong" with them that they carry that way of thinking into the way that they manage (or don’t manage) their personal finances. |  |
This is usually reinforced with negative self-talk and the belief that postponing dealing with money brings ease and buys time.
The Business Of Me directly addresses feelings of negative self-worth and the negative self-talk that accompanies it by helping participants identify their fears and providing them specific tools to combat it.
Instead of constantly telling themselves “I can’t”, our participants are taught that they can and then are given the tools to prove to themselves that they in fact do have "Self-Ability".
