Dream Manager Program

2009-07-06T18:28:00.000-07:00

In his 2007 book, The Dream Manager, Matthew Kelly describes a brilliant, radical, and simple idea: Bringing life coaching into corporate settings--to benefit everybody (from CEO to janitor) ....so they can achieve very personal goals..... that probably have nothing to do with their jobs or companies. (Gasp!) And because the employees are so grateful! for the support in achieving their own goals, they are HIGHLY MOTIVATED to help their employers achieve the company's potential. Talent stays, goes the extra mile, the workplace environment is transformed, profits soar. And, the best part about it is that IT WORKS. http://www.thedreammanager.com/book#aboutthebook

I don't know about you, but I'm getting dressed up and going somewhere. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7238625

Please tell war vets I can help them

2009-06-21T21:18:00.000-07:00

EFT dramatically helps those suffering from PTSD. I offer my services free or at a low cost to vets and their families. Like other EFT practitioners across the country, I'm having trouble relaying this message to vets and hope some of you can help me spread the word. I'm happy to answer questions and describe the process. (Also, see earlier posts, which include more information.) If vets are reticent to seek help through this alternative healing route, they only need to do some quick googling. They'll very quickly decide to try EFT.

On 6/19/90, USA Today (Gregg Zoroya) featured a cover article with the following statistics, which reflect the stress on military personnel who have been repeatedly deployed:

Doubled, from 2003 to 2009 - The rate of Army soldiers enrolling in alcohol treatment programs.
12% increase, from 2005 to 2008 - Marines who screened positive for drug or alcohol problems.
1,430 - 12 months of drunk driving cases involving Marines (Oct '07-Sept '08).
1,060 - 7 months of drunk driving cases involving Marines (Oct '08 - May '09).
142 suicides of active duty soldiers - 2008 (12 months) - a record high.
82 suicides already this year, compared to 51 during the same period last year.

Please let them know help is available. This can truly save their lives.

Should form follow function? Well, duh. That's why I've taken the wise advice of dear David Prudhomme to DUMP THAT HIGH 5 HYPNOSIS NAME and get a name for my practice that resonates with the real me. Well, I just did. Hope you like it.

In my practice, Find Your True Self, I provide EFT sessions to veterans and their families for very low fees. I am also interested in providing hypnosis and HypnoCoaching sessions to them. Please get in touch with me for more information.

EFT for War Veterans

2009-05-25T22:30:00.000-07:00

1.53 million veterans have already served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands are returning from combat zones. An estimated 300,000 or more of them suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.

Please see the Find Your True Self website for more information: www.FindYourTrueSelf.com

EFT has been shown to effectively neutralize the emotional charge of traumatic situations. While the memory of the events remains, the associated fear and anguish disappear--making it much easier to continue with life. Many veterans are finding that EFT can be more effective than talk therapy in relieving trauma.

This might be because traumatic events are stored in a part of the brain that does not deal with language, but that deals with emotions.

While no one yet knows exactly why EFT works so well, we believe that EFT disrupts how negative emotional issues and past trauma are stored in the body. It allows the client to process and store the information in a new way, making these experiences easier to access in a calm and comfortable way.

Iraq War Vets Project

The Iraq War Vets Project is a program of the Soul Medicine Institute, a nonprofit research institute. In addition to offering six free EFT sessions to veterans and their families, the Project is gathering data on how EFT helps people with PTSD and other emotional traumas.

Veterans and their families are invited to participate in this study.

Emancipated Foster Youth

2009-04-19T18:00:00.000-07:00

Did you know that foster children are generally removed from the foster care program network when they are 18 years old? Poorly equipped to launch themselves into adult life, many become homeless and join the ranks of young people who feel they may have lost their life promise. I am seeking ways to bring HypnoCoaching, Hypnotherapy, and EFT to emancipated foster youth and other young people who welcome help to become all that they can be and do all the positive things in the world that they want to do.

Thank you, Martha Beck

2009-02-15T21:13:00.000-08:00

Martha Beck is a brilliant life coach who has written books and has her own regular column in O magazine. (She doesn't know that she is my mentor, but I would love to meet her one day--and ask her to adopt me.) In Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live (2001), Martha describes her understanding of the importance of people finding their true life path. Once they recognize it, find their way back to it, and stay on course, they often find that serious problems including depression and even chronic illness lift. She writes, "Even people who have never experienced much happiness, who have been plagued since birth by confusion, injustice, and pain know exactly what set of conditions will allow them to fulfill their potential while creating the greatest positive impact on the world." I am here on this planet to help people begin and stay on this incredible journey.

Cutters and Others

2009-01-30T23:38:00.000-08:00

I'm interested in making HypnoCoaching, Hypnosis, and EFT available to young people whose lives are affected by self-inflicted pain. If you, or someone you know, could use a bit of magic, please get in touch with me.

Helping teens

HypnoCoaching can save kids' lives.

Who else is fascinated by hypnosis and hypnocoaching?

2009-01-26T21:00:00.000-08:00

If you're into this kind of stuff, you're certainly not alone. One of my favorite reads every month is Oprah's O Magazine, which always features an article by Martha Beck, a brilliant life coach and writer. She shares insightful exercises that readers can do on their own to open up new ways of thinking about their lives. She's smart, kind and very funny. I'm reading her 2001 book Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live. (In O, I also love the writing of humorist Lisa Kogan and the always-pithy articles by money-manager Suze Orman, whose books and tapes I frequently recommend to my HypnoCoaching clients who want to get a better grip on their finances.) The O magazine has enough depth to it that it can last me almost a month of good reading and rereading intervals. A number of writers' works have greatly influenced me and contribute in general to my work with my clients:

Caroline Myss, Ph.D - Anatomy of the Sprit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing.

Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. - The Highly Sensitive Person.

The Time Paradox: The New Psychology of Time That Will Change Your Life, by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd (2008), is a real eye-opener. Did you know that each person has an "individual time perspective" that dramatically shapes his or her life? If you pick up this book (it's taken me a while to work my way into it, but it's worth it), you'll discover your own time perspective and those of people you know. No wonder we're so often dumbfounded by those around us. Check it out.

When I work with people on their health-related issues, the ideas behind the works of Louise Hay (which I read years ago) still have an impact. Energy psychology is a fascinating area and the research there just gets better all the time. (Photo above taken in Mazatlan by Gerardo Martinez) Back in the 1970's, The Seth Books by Jane Roberts were an early and very powerful education in physics, time, purpose, and much more. They became part of my DNA. And, though I was an only child raised by atheists, these books, and the work of Joseph Campbell in comparative mythology and comparative religion, made the spiritual world and profound sensitivity foremost in my awareness. Somehow, I managed to not float away, so now these somewhat esoteric teachings have merged with the nuts and bolts of figuring how to be in the here and now, putting one foot in front of the other. It's a good thing.

I'd love to hear what books have had a profound interest on others, so please contribute your comments, if you're inspired.

Tell me about it

2009-01-24T15:54:00.001-08:00

Well, ok! I have extensive training and am well-qualified to use techniques of Hypnosis, EFT, and HypnoCoaching for personal and spiritual growth and to promote health, healing, and happiness.

My Hypnotherapy clients have come to me to overcome insomnia; to relieve chronic pain; to free themselves of phobias and fears; to reduce stress, worry and anger; to recover from trauma; to improve relationships; to increase self-confidence; to set and achieve goals; to enhance creativity and concentration; to improve motivation and performance; to become organized (out, damn clutter!); to feel energetic and enthusiastic; and to move more easily through grief. Hypnotherapy results are often seen in 1-3 sessions.

My HypnoCoaching clients come to me because they are ready to make a change.

Through my use of HypnoCoaching processes and techniques (which includes the use of Hypnosis), my clients learn to change behaviors and attitudes. HypnoCoaching is a commitment which generally lasts for at least several months, in order for clients to lock in the new changes they are implementing in their daily lives.

My ideal client is intelligent, insightful, and creative. (And just maybe sad/depressed/frustrated/angry/stressed out/exhausted.) Does this sound like you?
