29+ years ago, on December the 5th I had the hysterectomy ……………………
Then after a lot of therapy, counselling, and self exploration about things that had happened in my life as a child, dysfunctional relationships with my siblings, my grief from losing my father to a heart attack, and so many unresolved issues that I was always told to just sweep it under the carpet and it would just all go away ...................................... but it didn't. Thanks to a wonderful therapist who believed in me and my ability to change, my life changed and this is now history. (when you are my age, 29+ years is history).
I took a very good look at what I was doing in my life, how I was living my life and what did I have to change so that my life would extend beyond all the predictions that were being thrown around. I finally made a decision to leave an unhappy emotionally abusive marriage, which was contaminated and toxic because of the circumstances that surrounded us. I began to involve myself in some personal development and give myself the gift of healing and a longer life. It was not all a bed of roses but it has been the best decision of my life – to get off my butt and
invest in the most important asset I had – which was ME
I spent time for myself, learning, discovering and healing ...... and for the first time really appreciating the real me that had been hiding within me, I moved to the city and began to meet new people and was surrounded by positive people who supported my growth and changes and encouraged me to do more with my life. This began me on my journey of learning and continuing my education in the beauty Therapy industry and in personal self development. After 1 year so many things had changed in my life and I was enjoying who I was, the life I was living and sharing all this with the wonderful friends I had.
Jon, who has been my friend for 22yrs, and is now my husband of 19years, and I attended a six week course with John Kehoe of Mind Power, we became awakened to so many things that we had not really thought about and began putting them to work4us. My health improved, my energy improved, I was happy, I was motivated, I had so much more understanding of peoples differences, understood where I maybe could have done things differently in my life, and was excited about all that had changed for me, and I was enjoying my life again with lots of very special people who supported and encouraged me and stood beside me as I developed and grew..
Jon and I then attended some weekend workshops, where I began assisting and met a guy, Ken, who introduced us to Dr. Tad James trainings where we completed the NLP Prac, Master Prac, Personal Evolution program, Trainers training in America as well as some other of his trainings. At this time I began researching on the internet and started to buy some products, audios etc from different trainers and a whole new world opened up for me. I realized that I had ‘too much baggage’ that had to be cleaned out, and this is where I came to the realization that I had a lot of people in my life that had me there for what I could give them or do for them and this was not healthy for me and my boundaries were being violated because of my over generous nature. It was at this time that I came across Dr. Bob Bodenhamer and Dr. Michael Hall and had purchased most of their training materials when they began coming to Australia., by this time I had established a good relationship speaking with Bob, who has become a very dear friend and we have enjoyed training together. Jon and I have both completed numerous trainings with Neuro-Semantics which they founded, and completed their trainers training and achieved Meta-coaching certificates.
Over the next few years we trained with many international trainers, Sue Knight- coaching & modeling, John Gray – Mars Venus,, Dr. Topher Morrison, Chris Howard, David Sheppard, John Tickell, Dr David Lake-EFT, Ken Wall & Kobus Neethlin -Whole Brain Thinking, Alpha Training, and many more as well as purchasing training materials from many other excellent trainers.
Two years ago, I went to Italy and trained with Shelle Rose Charvet and trained in the LAB (Learning and Behaviour) Profile and became the first Australian trainer of the Words That Change Minds. I had been using this model for years as we had learnt this in NLP – I was amazed at how much more I learnt about this, and people. This was truly one of the best traininsg I had ever attended, and I learnt so much more about myself.
Every year I engage in more trainings that enhance my own trainings and give me more skills to pass on to my students, i also trained in iwam which is a profiling tool, which Patrick Merlevedre developed out of the Meta programs and the LAB Profile.
In 2010, I was fortunate enought to be able to attend the NLP University in at the UCSC (University of California Santa Cruz) where I attended the NLPU Master NLP Trainers training with Robert Dilts and Judith De Lozier (two of the original developers of NLP in the early years), this was truly the most rewarding training and community I have ever been involved with, they create a world where people want to belong, totally support and encourage all of their students. I was invited to assist with their Trainers Training this year, and this was truly another rewarding experience and have again learnt many things and have developed a really great respect and friendship with the NLPU family.I will be going back next year to assist with their trainings again and hopefully Jon (my husband) will also attend. I have been priviledged to have been accepted, and authorised
to use Robert and Judiths materials to assist with my own materials and trainings.
Have I had challenges – Absolutely.
The difference now is that I had all the necessary tools to deal with my challenges when I was face to face with with them.
8 yrs ago I was diagnosed with Hashimosis – very underactive thyroid and the
unbelievably rude specialist (not a people person) told me I would probably at my age take a long time to correct it and if I was not careful I could be dead in 3 -6 months – oh yeah! He didn’t know who he was dealing with here, and who was in charge of my healing and it sure was not him, I used the techniques of NLP, Neuro-Semantics and Hypnotherapy and guess what in 6 weeks I had a normal reading, and he would not believe it. He didn’t know what I knew. I know many doctors who have now trained in NLP because they were amazed at the results they were seeing in some of their own clients.
I have never stop being amazed at how wonderful it is to keep learning and developing, and how lucky I am to be here each day to have the opportunity to experience this. As I look back at 29+ years ago and to who I am today, and what I am doing I am truly grateful for taking that first step into the ‘unknown’ where I thought I knew everything and it wouldn’t be able to make any difference to my life, I was living with the cards I was dealt!!!! Everyday is a wonderful day, and I accept there will be some more challenges but I am no longer afraid of challenges and welcome them as a very valuable learning for me.
I was diagnosed with osteo arthritis over 18 years ago, and have been able to manage it and have full mobility of my limbs every day -
I have arthritis in my shoulders, hips and knees. I often wake up with stiffness - complete my process of self healing and get out of bed with full mobility of all my limbs and totally pain free - yeah! I love this stuff and use it everyday in my life.
People come in to our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime -
so now I enjoy all the good times of now as you never know when one day they will be no longer in our lives.
This is a short summary of how NLP changed my life,
are you ready step up and discover a new levels of enjoyment and happiness in your life and communicate and relate more successfully and fulfill your dreams?
