Summary

This book describes an entirely new way of conducting hypnotherapeutic interventions - Stephen Gilligan's generative trance. The first generation of trance work, the traditional hypnosis that still holds sway in most places, considers that both the conscious mind and the unconscious mind of the client are, to put it bluntly, idiots. So trance work involves first 'knocking out' the conscious mind and then talking to the unconscious mind like a 2-year old that needs to be told how to behave. Milton Erickson created the second generation of trance work. He approached the unconscious as having creative wisdom and each person as extraordinarily unique. Thus, rather than trying to programme the unconscious with new instructions, Erickson saw trance as an experiential learning state where a person's own creative unconscious could generate healing and transformation. At the same time Erickson, for the most part, carried the same low opinion of the conscious mind. Thus, Ericksonian hypnosis looks to bypass the conscious mind with indirect suggestions and dissociation and depotentiate it with confusion techniques.

    Do you think your father might be toxic? Still struggling from the effects of a narcissistic or psychopathically abusive relationship? 
    As a child: 
    - You felt like you were never good enough 
    - Your father seemed wrapped up in themselves and their life 
    - Your father didn’t seem to care about your feelings 
    - Your father was very controlling and manipulative 
    - You were made to feel bad or wrong if you got upset 
    - Your needs weren’t met 
    As an adult: 
    - You still feel like you are not good enough 
    - You feel confused, anxious, sad in your relationship with your father 
    - Your father puts you down, and never celebrates your achievements 
    - You sometimes doubt your perception of events, and feel like you are going crazy 
    - You struggle to make decisions and have difficulty trusting your gut instinct or intuition 
    - Your father is very critical, manipulative, controlling and tells lies 
    - They still don’t seem to care about your feelings or your needs 
    - You feel like you are the one parenting them 
    This Book is for you if you have been in a toxic relationship with your parent and you just want to make sense of it and make some changes. 
    Maybe you have tried to talk to your father or friends about your relationship, but they don’t understand either and they may even tell you that it couldn’t have been that bad. 
    I can’t promise you that reading to this book is going to be a “total cure”, but I can promise that if you APPLY YOURSELF DILLIGENTLY, take notes, read and re-read the chapters, follow all instructions to the letter, with a tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first 3 days.

    Minding your manners is an acquired skill, but what serves you well elsewhere could trip you up in Japan. Save yourself possible embarrassment with Etiquette Guide to Japan. An inside look at Japanese social graces, it answers all the questions of the thoughtful traveler. Extensive, specific information on Japanese business etiquette assists listeners traveling to Japan for business.Although often overshadowed by a modern facade, long-standing traditional aspects of Japan's culture still influence the country and almost everyone in it. Concrete evidence of this traditional culture can be seen everywhere — in the ancient arts and crafts that are still important parts of everyday life, in the many shrines and temples that dot the nation, and in the modern comeback of traditional fashions such as kimono and yakata robes.To many Western visitors, however, the most obvious example of this traditional culture's strength is the unique etiquette of the Japanese. Like many nations, Japan has experienced vast political, social, and economic change over the past century. But enough of Japan's traditional etiquette remains to set the Japanese apart socially and psychologically and to make success in socializing and doing business with them a special challenge for Westerners.

    Religion is a man made construct, our ethnicity is who we are from a source point of view, colour, creed, mentality, location, etc. It is often intermingled and here lies the problem for many where repression as opposed to freedom is the norm. God is pure love, but is your God pure love. This is discussed. People can be evil in themselves yet call themselves religious and by their own thoughts "good people" whereas in realty they are anything but. Ethnicity can bring with it traditions and outmoded cultures that hinder and stagnate lives as opposed to giving them meaning and credence. Many who associate with various religions and their ethnicity often do so through indoctrination and by default suffer accordingly.

    This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
      
    Book 1: When it comes to Borderline Personality Disorder, many people are left in the dark. They still have questions about what it is, what makes it so attractive to start a relationship with a borderliner, or how it differs in men and women. 
      
    This guide will not leave you in the dark, however; it will talk about these topics and so much more, such as society’s changing view of the disorder, the ages of a borderliner, how they change identities and how medical diagnoses can vary, and the disorder across different races and the two genders. 
      
      
      
      
    Book 2: What causes someone to have Borderline Personality Disorder? Well, the opinions vary, and each person’s life is different, but to point you in the right direction, we’ll discuss some patterns and common life events and traumas that can contribute to it. 
      
    Aside from this, we’ll discuss the big question that has often been thrown out there: Is the disorder mostly a feminine disorder or does it happen to men as well? The differences between Borderline and Bipolar Disorder will be indicated also, since many people are confused about those differences. 
      
    Last but not least, we’ll go into specific diagnosis criteria, and the truths and myths about “curing” the disorder with lots of love and pure attention.
