Dear Don,
I am thrilled that I was able to take this class and receive this information. I am also glad that I took on a client because that pushed me into focusing more and to work harder to gain the understanding and do the exercises. The support you have given in the 6pm-7pm discussion group has been so valuable for me; and I really have appreciated and enjoyed this group as well as your enthusiasm.
I learned at a young age that something was wrong with me and when I became a teen I had wanted to become a psychiatrist so I could learn what was wrong with me to fix myself. I did eventually end up with a difficult marriage and ended up in marital therapy; but that did not fix anything. Go figure that! I did get my degree, a M.A in Transpersonal therapy, and in that process i had a lot of personal and group therapy. After 6 months of dealing with clients, I ran into my ex supervisor and told her that doing therapy was not the cure I expected it should be. She agreed and told me she had just left a 15 year lucrative practice. So began the search for me.
After many years working as a nurse in a psychiatric setting and medical/surgical nursing, I finally arrived here in Desert Hot Springs to help my youngest son; but truthfully, I know it was to meet Dr Larkin and this body of work. The minute I heard Dr. Bill speak at PSSEC, which my son had sent me to check out, I knew right then that this was the missing piece I had been searching for. I am forever grateful.
I am so happy to be learning about neuroscience, positive psychology, and the law of attraction as has been put together by you both. I can absolutely see that the work that I have been doing: the pulsing, the journaling, the scrap booking, the focusing, and the emotional gym, the scores of the upward spiral, the emotional scale ,and the vibe and DN scores are making a profound difference in my life. I now have a sense of well-being in my life which has been absent for many years. Looking back at my life I suspect that through movement in sports I was able to be in this positive state of mind, even when my home life was difficult. I think that this assessment is probably accurate because I felt pretty happy most of the time, and was quite successful as a teen and young adult.
But then I married someone who was not present in the marriage, so I tried to fix it: Thus, the second thing I learned is just how much I drove myself, my kids, my friends, and probably my husband crazy looking at the negative things to fix. How is that for an addiction? I had no idea until this class what a problem this addiction has been in my life and the life of my family. I feel so lucky to have learned the tools of knowing what I want, believing I can get it, and letting go of the outcome.
I did not realize why my life is the way it is, full of lack everywhere, until I started with the sticky notes: then I was really able to see with a more focused vision. I discovered that things I have said that I wanted hardly had any sticky notes in those categories. I now know that I had hardly any real tangible visions, except those of lack and confusion. I certainly did not have many steps to accomplish any of them. I amazed that I have accomplished as much as I have. It is as if my dreams have been vague and just floating around, year after year, unrecognizable, and then forgotten. I know that this is a process.I am also aware that if I keep doing this work even the things I tend to resist such as scrap booking, T shirts, thinking big, sticky notes and goal setting, I can have a more rewarding life for myself. I am now looking forward to setting my goals; But, I imagine that I will need more support in this area. I am so excited for my future now, I am so grateful to the both of you, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I know that I have left out important things. I think that it all works together and everything we were taught is important: But other than what I have mentioned I need to include as important learning about the brain, the 9:1 ratio, the Lasada butterfly with the 5:1 ratio. And I loved the stories!
I am so happy that I had talked to you the day I was in the process of deciding whether or not to take this class. It was your enthusiasm, optimism, and friendliness that helped me make the decision. I also found great support in your discussion groups. You and Dr. Bill make a great team information, it has been a long time since I have enjoyed taking a class-serious, fun, full of useful and hopeful information. Bravo to the both of you. I am sending you both much love, gratitude, peace, joy and appreciation for all you are and all that you do.
