Jessica recently broke up with her boyfriend. She came to me one day at work and asked me if I worked with depression. She said it was really affecting her work. We talked for a few minutes and I found out she was really angry about some of the things that happened while they were living together. I had her do the phobia cure with the things that happened, so she could get rid of the anger. We also pushed them off into her past so she could move on. I showed her a couple of other little things, and had to run home. This took all of about 20 min. A few weeks later she came up to me, and said I was awesome. Then she said, "Man I’m using this stuff everywhere in my life!"

At our last seminar Gary called me over because he was having trouble using command tonality, without looking like he was about to rip your head off. For some reason he felt he had to be very stern. I just held out my hand as if I was holding a ball, and held absolute control in my hand. Having absolute control is being able to be in whatever state you need to be in, whenever you need to be. You can be playful, and sometimes you can even let the other person think they’re in control. Whatever you need to do to get what you want. This must have made a lot of sense to him, because he did it perfectly afterward. All we hear from him now is how great his life is going!

At a seminar in Chicago, I was helping this guy get rid of a voice which was stopping him from approaching women. He was whining to himself inside his head. The first thing we had to do was get rid if this crappy voice. I had him imagine the voice coming from his toe and sounding like Cartman from South Park. Then I sat on the floor, leaned down to his toe, and talked like Cartman. When I asked him about the voice after that he started laughing. Next I wanted him to have a positive voice in his head. I had him think of a time when he was really motivated to do something, and think of what he said to himself. At that point I anchored it, of course. Then I had him think of approaching a woman and I fired the anchor. Later I had him think about approaching a woman and noticed the glow on his face. (You know, instead of what he had felt before!)

Our friend, Linda, was really having trouble motivating herself to clean the boxes out her office. I spent about two minutes showing her some timeline work. (We were in a bit of a hurry.) She then looked at the picture of doing this and said, "I know what the problem is. I don’t want to have an office. I want to work out of my home, and rent out my office space!" Who knows why she hadn’t seen this before, but sometimes it just takes a little push to move someone in the right direction.
