I digest your content everyday dude, you're literally my mentor and yet we have barely spoken. I have steves book coming in the mail, and I'm excited to take your training eventually, bless man. Thanks for all of the free content! by far the best NLP channel on youtube.
So cool. For me (going through moving on from mistakes myself) the really pivotal part of the demonstration was discovering the Highest Positive Intention and the blocked resources. I've been on an intense inner journey for the past 2 months and this demonstration has given me the tools to potentially unstuck myself on beating myself up over a repeating mistake I have been making. Love the no content approach too. Thanks Damon.
Thank you so much for sharing this information and process. Transmutation and alchemy at its best! I love Down Town SC!. The intellecutal content shared is valuable however your energy and presensce lubricates the delvery of what you are teaching and that is GOLD!
While watching this video, I was actively experiencing or engaging a strong counterexample (ie. counter to my identified quality and associated values.). It was not intended or premeditated. Yet, I fully participated in the process despite being out of congruency, Some interesting insights were revealed! .The process assisted a powerful reframe. I love that a strong Q.actually benefits from the inclusion and integration of counter-examples. I look forward to noting the outcome of this session. I've already discovered from group coaching sessions that this work assists subtle, sometimes imperceptible shifts which support a gradual change process. Thanks Damon & Lauren!
Much appreciated. It's also great to see how successful your channel has become. I'm happy (and jealous) for you. I assume you saw my email. Please do a video on the song Colors by Black Pumas. His voice is incredible!
Awesome demo👍. I really enjoy how you go over things. I have struggled with some of exercises on myself because my over analytical/thinking mind😒. Recreating the movies are not easy for me to do due to the resistance you talked about in the video... Any advice/suggestions on how to go about it 🙌 ... As always thank you... and awesome content 💜😊
Thank you for the kind words. When it comes to resistance, don't resist resistance. All resistance has a positive intent. Elicit that positive intent and you'll find another value or set of values that easily integrates into the values of your original objective. Once you've integrated all of the resistance, there's nothing stopping you.
First envious of your current travel, glad you are making use of the opportunity!!! I did a Damon Demo Binge weekend!! I love the simple, direct yet very insightful ways you present the material. Can you tell me what do you do if you have a client that visualizes all examples and counter examples as being around them (in their head) or possibly in full frontal view if pushed for another answer. Yes, they see this way whether dissociated or associated? They do not see two different specific locations in their personal space. And along the same lines, have your students already been given a homework assignment to come up with examples of their Q and counter Q prior to the session. I am terrible at coming up with examples as quickly as they appear to do in the video and as many especially on the spot. Again, thanks for the great content on your channel. I have sent the links to several friends who also are enjoying your work.
Thank you for the kind words. As far examples and counterexamples being around someone, that's how they typically are. How is that a problem? When a person says the example are in their head, this is typically a misunderstanding on their part. They think because it's happening in their mind that it must be happening in their head, but if they pay attention to the direction in which they're seeing an image or hearing a sound, it typically is experienced as if it's in their personal space. For example, when someone is seeing an image I'll say point to where you see that image. That usually does it and they get it. Sometimes they will insist it's in their head so I will ask them how do they see it if it's behind their eyes. Then they will often realize images appear out in front of them. It doesn't matter if they're associated or disassociated. Sometimes when you're associated you experience being inside the memory (panoramic) and sometimes you can experience it like a limited visual in front of you, 1st person perspective. No, I don't give them homework ahead of time. You're not terrible at coming up with examples. How could you be certain about anything if this is true? If you can say you are certain about being a quality, just ask yourself "How do you know?" You have memories of course. You're always referencing memories. It's just usually unconscious. Practice making the unconscious conscious.
Hi Damon, hope all's well :) Nice video but I just wanted to ask, I have done a transformation of an ambiguous Q and in the moment I really feel it and I know I am Q. When I future pace I see myself being more Q. But I have also come across a similar situation and I haven't been as Q as I saw myself / would like to be, do I need to tune up Q more, or is it another Q I need to work with but on the same examples? Or do I need to include less / more CE in my positive database? Thanks :)
@@DamonCart Yes, so I encountered a situation which in the past I would have run away from and this time, even though I enhanced Q, I still shyed away and wasn't as positive / courageous as I saw myself to be in the edited movie...
@@hyeshabarrett3053 It's sounds like you need to tune up courageous and positive as qualities. Add examples and future examples of these qualities in the particular context in which you shy away.
Thank you for the great demonstration of this video, it's very useful and informative! I have a question, if CE is one hundred photos and Positive Q is 100 photos, what will I need to do in this case? How can we integreate them?
Hi Damon this is great! I just read you said that the optimal percentage of counterexamples tends to be 10% to 15% of the database. So in this case, by counterexamples do you mean untrasformed counterexamples, or do the transformed ones also count towards the 10 to 15 percentage of counterexamples? ( by transformed I mean that we edited the situation into an example and attach them together; not talking about the submodality changes)
Good question. I would say no more than 15% untransformed counterexamples. If you have transformed counterexamples with the counterexample attached to the transformed version, you can probably have up to 30% to even 50% because the transformed version is bigger, brighter, and more compelling. Ultimately though you will need to test it. If it starts to feel like the quality is weakening, pull some of them out until it feels stronger again.
@@DamonCart Perfect. Only one doubt. When you say to pull some counterexamples out, do you mean to try to make them fit into another database, or you mean that just pulling them out of the database tends to work as well?
@@ryanmiller8571 when you examine you counter examples you might find that instead of counter examples, they're actually examples of another quality that you value. Sometimes your unconscious is sloppy in how it categorizes. Move those to the proper database. But if they're actual counterexamples to the quality you're working on and your positive template feels overwhelmed with counterexamples, just pull them out. You can transform them if you want and then put them back in or you can just leave them out.
I did the demonstration process along with Lauren. It was really amazing. When you said to add sounds though, it did pull me back from my database a bit. Dimmed my Q. Could you go into what to do if that happens? What do I do with the negative associations from the sounds? Thank you!
The simplest thing to do is just remove the sound, unless you need to add sound to counterexamples in order to integrate them into an auditory database. To integrate counterexamples they must be in the same modality as the database.
@@DamonCart Thank you so much for your quick reply. I am going go over this video and take notes. I want to be able to achieve results without relying on others. Here's to self-autonomy. Cheers!
It there a possibility ( if I am practicing on someone) that I will make it worst for them ? I mess things up in there head in a way? Ps I love your channel, you are an amazing teacher Damon 🌻👍
Thank you for the kind words. Yes, it is possible to make things worse for someone. However, nothing is permanent. What I like to say is if I break anything, I can fix it and make it even better. If you make something worse, just undo it and learn from it. You won't make a mistake so bad that it really harms someone long term.
Hi Damon, I’m in the process of completing my certification as we speak. I’m curious, what is the name of this technique and is it taught in the mastery class?
This is part of Steve Andreas' Self-Concept Model. He was my mentor. You won't find it taught in a practitioner nor a master practitioner course. I teach it though. Let me know if you want to learn it.
Damon I do have another question about the submodalities of Q and the counter examples... how many counter examples are recommended per Q... what about if the person is more Ad (audio digital)? As always... thank you 🙌
You want your database of any quality to contain approximately 10% to 15% counterexamples. You'll need to test to find out what is the optimal amount for your quality to be as strong as it can be. If your database is audio digital, it works the same way.
my english is not good enough to understand easily this video. I need to watch it at least 15 - 20 times to be able to understand what it is about. Your videos are very very usefull to apply NLP. Can you please answer my questions? a. You ask at the beginning something like "are you que". what does it mean? b. and then what do you want her to do? she looked up right and you tested her by asking her name. c. Can you list the techniques you used on this video, very shortly?
Thank you for the kind words. a. Are you Q means are you the quality we're working on? Examples of qualities are resilient, successful, charming, happy, peaceful, kind, etc. b. There's too many techniques to list. Join the free training we're having next week. selfconcept.com/pages/live-nlp-class?Aug12-2020&
thank you for your answer. After 8 times listeninig to beginning of the video I noticed meaning of the "you are quaé I'll be watching your whole videos. I'd love to be in your next class. But it's very hard for me to understand. Only videos can help me . Because I can listen many times. Thank you for youur kindness.
Everyone visualizes, even blind people. Just take your time and relax and ask yourself questions like how do you know what your best friend looks like? How would you be able to recognize them? What color was your bedroom when you were a child?
The only comment is: I wish there was another cue rather than ‘Q‘ just because all the ‘Q anon’ crap these past years. That’s where my mind goes. Thoughts?
Interesting video! :) I have also been on a self improvement journey 👌 I recently uploaded a video sharing how focusing on progress instead of perfection has helped me reach more of my goals. I do have productive days, but when I have a bad day I don't let it drag me down :)
You can always speed the video up or use the scroll bar to entirely skip past the talking you don't want to hear. Or you can go somewhere else if you don't appreciate the effort I put into giving you free content that is extremely useful.
