A coworker was being verbally abusive and I needed skills to address the problem. By using the tools in this course to ask more questions and flip the power dynamic the incidents have pretty much ended.

The course gives you strategies and tools to respond to uncomfortable comments and not freeze. I feel more powerful and in control after going through the course.

I was able to stand up for myself when being taken advantage of by a spiritual teacher. I wish this course was available 30 years ago!

Every young woman before going into the workplace should take this course!

I wanted to learn how to better handle weird moments with men and feel like I have more agency in interactions in general. These simple tools, while seemingly obvious sometimes on the surface, are what is needed.

I recommend this approach as it is playful and prevents what many women fear: sounding like a b*tch.

“The Verbal Self-Defense Dojo had a powerful and immediate impact on my ability to navigate both professional and personal situations. I work in engineering where there are always more men in the room and many of them use aggressive tactics to dominate the conversations. The techniques I learned through VSDD helped me recognize faster when they start to ‘Dom’ me in a discussion, and then respond more quickly to shift the focus of power.”

I don’t know how to have a voice in so many situations. I even completely froze after reading the first assignment in this course!

Kasia is legitimately the real deal, and has a lot to teach women who perhaps weren’t taught these things at home. Thank you for what I think is going to change my life.

The Verbal Self-Defense Dojo is like a batting cage. The machine keeps spitting balls at you. And you learn how to hit the balls back, instead of getting pelted and bruised. I am eternally grateful to you for opening my eyes to invisible realms of communication.

I call it Tongue-Fu! Now I can flip the power of conversations that catch me off-guard and stay in the flow of communication to get more of what I want from interactions without compromising myself.

The changes I feel in my body and my felt level of safety every day have improved so much just from the simple knowledge that power belongs to the questioner: ask a question.

I took this course because I was having challenges with a bully in my family. Using the tools, I was able to throw the spotlight back, shutting the bully down for 25 minutes. And then, seemingly for the first time, she realized the negative impact of her actions on me.

The ability to break the freeze and stay connected to yourself when put under pressure is invaluable. Kasia makes the entire experience of embodying a new way of dealing with conflict natural and empowering. I have already purchased the Verbal Self-Defense Dojo again for my adopted daughter.

I used the tools last week with my new manager, asking him to clarify things rather than absorbing everything he's saying and just nodding my head.

I'm finally getting out of this pattern. If you've ever felt speechless by what someone said to you, take this course.

My 14 year-old daughter was being bullied by another girl at school. As I taught her what I had learned from the Dojo, I discovered what she had been going through and we role played different ways she could deal with it.

Her confidence soared - in me and more importantly in herself. Thanks to the course I was able to give her tools I lacked.

The Verbal Self-Defense Dojo is life-changing. Even if I freeze, I can get out of it, and that gives me a confidence I never had before. The tools change your body language, and changing your body language changes everything.

“I now celebrate when I recognize the Freeze, rather than self-attacking myself for it. I’m also beginning to see how turning the spotlight is an opportunity for connection rather than confrontation.”
