About Sonya, Your Exponential Coach
In the fall of 2024, I was chosen to complete Misha Saidov’s 4-day intensive program at the Institute of Metacognitive Programming (IMCP). I received 20 hours of theoretical materials and practice. This was the beginning of my exponential coaching mastery. I gained clarity when I offered my practice clients support and nonviolent communication. I saw how much people transform when they are truly heard and seen.
Why? Clarity, a transformed mindset, an inner peace
In May 2024, I began my training as a certified Exponential Coach through Exponenta, the tenth cohort at the Exponential Coaching Academy (ECA). Weekly, I attend a 2-hour lecture by Misha Saidov, a 2-hour group practice session with a certified mentor coach of ECA, a 1.5-hour practice session with fellow students, and yet another practice session for more coaching experience. I continue to practice outside the “classroom.”
My first goal of joining this life coaching course was to break my own self-limiting patterns. To unearth my true potential, to work on my own leadership development, and to experience exponential growth. I am learning a new way of being. To then share it with you.
“I left just 15 mins with Sonya feeling so self-assured. Her support helped me find clarity and reassurance that I needed to know I was on the right path. I can’t wait for my next session with Sonya!” – Lauren Hamilton
What is exponential coaching?
Exponential coaching is rooted in proven peer-reviewed psychological studies and features common factors—as long as their effectiveness has been proven empirically and scientifically—from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and more.
Exponential coaching teaches the client emotional regulation and cognition.
It is based on your existing temperament and personality and takes into account how your life experiences have affected you. We work with your emotions, thinking, and behaviour. Exponential coaching is skill-based and means teaching our clients the skills we’ve mastered.
What are metacognitive programs?
During the 30 structured exponential coaching sessions, together we learn what your metacognitive programs are – why are you the way you are? Where did it come from?
Why am I like this?
Have you ever wondered why you always procrastinate on important tasks? Or why you choose partners similar to your parents? Or why you repeat the same mistakes, over and over again? Why you choose avoidant partners despite desperately craving unconditional love and affection? Don’t worry, you are not doomed. But there is only so far you can get to with sheer power of will – at some point it’s not enough to force your brain anymore.
Maladaptive defence mechanisms preventing you from growth
You need to understand that it is your programs guiding your actions, even if you don’t agree with them – they are your defence mechanisms of the past that are now maladaptive. Because you are not trying to simply survive anymore, you are trying to thrive. And for that, your neural pathways must change. And that’s a hard thing to do alone, no matter how much meditation or yoga you already do (love them, by the way!).
I am here for you
Why? Because your brain is afraid of change and it’s created the defence mechanisms on purpose – to protect you from seeming dangers. There is only so far you can go with self-work. And that’s okay. Just like you’d find a yoga teacher to have proper form, and just like you’d go to a doctor if you hurt yourself, it’s recommended to find a guide for your spiritual and life transformation journey, too. Even if just to hold your hand and tell you it will all be okay.
In exponential coaching, I give you my hard-earned hundreds of hours of academic and practical education so you can learn how to self-govern after 30 sessions. To first become aware of your patterns and programs, which may be painful, hence why it’s good to have a support system in your coach. To then choose differently, from a different place, for a different future. To even allow yourself permission to imagine a better future.
