## What is Assert Yourself?

Do you need help making decisions? Do you get pressured into doing things you don’t want to do? Do you feel unable to speak up when you’re uncomfortable? Or perhaps you feel you can’t say no to people who constantly make demands of your time, energy and money?

Sometimes people have a poor ability to sense when their gut instinct, intuition, or heart is sending them messages that a decision is not right and they are uncomfortable. These messages are ignored and we ends up doing things, committing to things, or having things done to us that were not ok with – often regretting this in the moment or in hindsight.

What's different about this app? Other apps may help after the fact. This app is designed to be used when the pressure is on to help you hear your gut instincts in the moment!

Created by the author of How to Breakup with Friends and Clinical Neuropsychologist, Dr Hannah Korrel, this app will help you to improve your assertiveness skill and learn to hear when your gut instinct is telling you something is wrong… and actually listen to it!

Features:

- Using the decision making function, this will help you to slow down, and not rush into something you’ll regret. This will help you arrive at a decision that’s right for you and change your subsequent action by helping you to properly hear the signals of your gut instinct and intuition – it can be used prior to the trigger, during the triggering event, or after the fact on reflection.

- Specialised meditations are designed heighten our ability to hear own gut instinct/intuition/heart.  Poor assertiveness can mean one’s own wishes are difficult to hear, like whispers. In the face of anxiety and pressure screaming in our minds, it is difficult to hear these whispers. Two minute meditations are designed to assist in the moment during the triggering event. Longer meditations are designed to assist building assertiveness skills over all.

- Useful phrases are also provided to help you feel confident in saying ‘no’ by actually give examples of what to say and how to say it!

### 1/5 — Save two dollars

*2024-01-21*

I feel silly for buying an app that could have just been an Instagram account and hasn’t been updated for three years so the developer I’m sure has no intention of adding more.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2024-01-06, version 1.5*

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2022-09-21, version 1.5*

This app is limited to friend or partner relationships. The phrases are not appropriate for work where you are often not able to say no when in subservient position. Also the feelings listed fit social not work situations.

It provides an immediate solution to a problem that I’ve suffered form for a long time - finding and trusting my instincts when I’m faced with tough decisions! No hidden charges. Well worth the tiny price!

### 4/5 — Great app- could expand

*2020-12-18, version 1.5*
