Managing Workplace Stress

Stress is killing American industry. Worker productivity is down and costs for mental health are both expensive in time and money, with results happening two years down the road. However, there is an alternative: Instant Therapy.
You have heard it for years. Stress and poor mental health in the workplace are impacting productivity:
As thus documented, stress and poor mental health have had an impact on American business. But, retaking good mental health, to this point in history, has been costly due to the fact we have been conditioned to believe that the only way to obtain good mental health is through the aid of mental health care professionals. However, if you have secrets that you want to have remain secrets, especially with the hazardous problems of leaking classified information, there are many aspects to counseling that defy the norm. Besides, counseling takes time (usually an hour or more each week, for about 18 months) and money (often in excess of $100 per hour, based on local counseling fees assessed in the Tri-City area of Washington). A successful round of counseling can cost over $20,000 and take nearly two years.
Just think. A counselor who gets a full load of patients can make over $20,000 per patient over the course of 18 months. With 55 minute sessions, 30 sessions per week, and $100 a session, which is a conservative figure, . These people will give you an honest, unbiased opinion about alternatives to using their practice? I would not ethically allow myself to ask.
But now, there is an alternative that returns control to the patient, while also allowing the patient to work out all of his or her emotional problems all in single session that only takes about 90 minutes. Sound too good to be true? It's true, it's real, and it is free, by design.
What follows is the exact script that I have given all rights to the United Nations on
October 17, 2004, in email, to Mr. Kofi A. Annan, General Secretary of the United Nations. It is
the most tested and researched script, having been revised upon each use, as needed, to tweak its
effectiveness from human to human.
| PREAMBLE
This is the preamble.
It is designed to
explain what is
requested of the
listener who is
reading this text.
This is what is called "the induction." In a nutshell, it is a series of nestled mental tests. As more and more is demanded of the mind, eventually it reaches its limit, and the subconscious is forced to take over the processing, leaving the conscious mind to drop into a hibernation state along with the body. MIDDLES This is the beginning of the visual imagery section. It utilizes the imagination in rapid processing on request. This allows the subconscious mind to test and play with its abilities to perceive (see, hear, smell, taste, touch) things that are simply imagined. <>This is the Garbage Can for Garbage Thoughts filing system. It is required for all logical processes to come, which I have called, "mental machines," which require the listener to create a filing system by which to address specific memories from one's past, and then to adapt, adjust, or file these memories specifically where each listener pre-determines such memories are to be placed, and then accomplishes this task in about five to ten minutes per running of the application process. The first mental machine moves all negative memories to a place where they are never again rememberer, as by choice. The second mental machine revises all fear and guilt memories to the current standards and beliefs of the individual listener. The third mental machine allows the listener to remember every great deed and detail of life, so as to bolster the listener's own self-esteem. This allows the listener to rebuild his or her self-image. ] The fourth mental machine allows the listener to remove any persons from their memory system which cause the user to feel hate or anger, and, from this day forward, the choice will be to have no (zero) feelings towards this person, but move all memories of this person to that garbage can.
This process sets a key word so that the user/listener gains rapid use and access to these now learned and trained relaxation processes. ENDINGS go here. This is the awakening part of the process that awakens the listener.
Here is where the legally binding liability acceptance contract, and all other contractual means, must be placed. |
Basic Scrypnosis Script for Group Participation "How old are you now? What are your beliefs right now? As you think upon these answers, you have established what I call your Current Age In Life State Of Mind, or CAILSOM for short. Through the use of this script, you will change the ways you remember your past, you will revise decisions and make better your resolve as to how you would have dealt with issues in your life. And so, as you do this, you will instantly effect your CAILSOM. This script will run longer for older people, who have more memories, or shorter for younger people, who have less experiences. This script is designed for use with a group session. If need be, you can re-run this script again for individuals who do not accomplish the script in the same time as those who do it rapidly. It is recommended that this script, initially, be run no less than two weeks between sessions, as it takes about that long for your brain to sort out what all it has learned from each session. This should change over time and become more rapid. "I am going to count from ten to one, and as I am counting, I want you to concentrate on becoming more comfortable and more relaxed. If at any moment, you feel like coughing, laughing, passing gas, scratching or moving in any way so that you are more comfortable than you currently are, do it. As in life, if something is bothering you, fix it, and it will immediately go away and stop bothering you. "For a moment here, I want you to move all your toes, then move your ankles, then flex your legs at your knees, and then your legs at your hips. Take a deep breath and then exhale fully. Now move and rotate your neck. Roll your eyes. Smile. Now move and rotate your arms at your shoulders. Now move at the elbows. Now at move and rotate at your wrists. Now move all your fingers. "Good. By moving these muscles, your body applied electrical energy which cause the muscles to tension. This gives you something you can feel, and now, as you are here, you are feeling these muscles relax...feeling that electrical energy lessening from the muscles. This relaxation feels really good. "Let us begin. If your eyes are not already closed, please close them now." "Ten, just concentrate on relaxing your feet. Let all the muscles in your feet feel really comfortable. You are letting them be comfortable. Let all the muscles in your toes feel very loose and limp; very relaxed. You can only hear my voice. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure runs all the way down your ankles, past your heels, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed and very comfortable. "Nine, now just relax your leg muscles, knees, thighs, and shins. Don't worry about your feet. Just let all of the muscles in your legs get very loose and limp; very comfortable and very, very relaxed. Very relaxed. Let your thigh muscles relax. Let all the muscles in your shins get very loose. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure runs down your legs, past your knees, past your ankles, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed, and very, very comfortable. "At eight, relax your neck, back, chest and stomach muscles. Take a really deep breath...and as you exhale, feel how your body naturally relaxes. It's a good feeling. Let all the muscles in your neck feel really loose. You can only hear my voice. Let your stomach muscles feel very, very relaxed. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure splashes onto your neck, then runs down your back, past your chest, past your waist, past your knees, past your ankles, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed, and very, very comfortable. "Seven. Now relax your arms, hands, and all your fingers. Let all the muscles in your fingers relax. If something is bothering you, fix it and become more comfortable. Let all the muscles in your arms feel really comfortable. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure comes in from your fingertips, pushing all of the stress and fatigue out of your body. It feels so good. It comes up your arms, splashing on your neck, running down your back, down your legs, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed and very, very comfortable. "Six. You might feel like you are awake, like you are not hypnotized, but, for some reason, you are very relaxed. If you feel this, this is what hypnosis actually feels like. It's normal. Don't worry about it. You might feel like millions of cotton balls gently pressing down all over. If you feel this, this is gravity. Don't worry about it. I want you to imagine that you're floating down on a cloud. The farther down you float, the more relaxed you get. The more relaxed you get, the better you feel, and the better you feel causes you to float down even more. Always getting more relaxed. Always feeling better. Always floating farther and farther down. "Five. Your feet and your legs feel great, just the way they are. Take a really deep breath. And you find that you can only hear my voice. "Four. As you exhale, relax. Your neck, back, chest, and stomach muscles feel really good, just the way they are. Your arms, hands and your fingers feel just fine, just the way they are. "Three. And you are floating even farther down, always more relaxed. The more relaxed you get, the better you feel, and now you are feeling really good. "Two. And you will remember everything you choose to remember. To forget means you know something and then have to black the thought out. On the other hand, it is so easy to not remember some things, like losing your keys. We will try to remember things you have had to forget, and if need be, make them so that you just don't remember them. Take a deep breath...and relax...... "One." "Now, in your mind's eye, I want you to find yourself in a most vividly imagined place. This is an exercise in imagination, and the more details you allow yourself to see, the deeper you will get into a subconscious state. I want you to find yourself in the middle of a safe and wide open field. This is more a valley. There are trees on the hills around it. There's a stream that's a safe distance away with a bridge. There's a house in the distance. I want you to look around and tell me about everything you see, and as you do so, allow your imagination to add infinite details, so as to make this more real...so much more real than reality. " "Look at the stream. What do you see?" "You have a cup with you. What does the water taste like?" "There's someone you recognize coming out of the house. Who is it?" "You enter the house and smell something cooking in the Kitchen. What is it?" (Beginning the actual session) "As you go out the back door of the place, you find yourself in a room with white walls, florescent lighting, a white vinyl floor, and in the middle of the room, a garbage can with a hinged, though tight fitting, lid. As you lift the lid and look inside, you see it's absolutely clean. Looking to the wall, you see a friendly looking red button, much like you would find on an arcade video game, and as you press it, you hear a light squeak from inside the garbage can. "As you now look inside the can, you see that there is an electric elevator lift inside it. You climb in and press the down button, and it takes you to a well lit concrete basement room. It's clean and huge, going on for many hundred feet in all directions. This is the place where you will now move each and every memory that bothers you. By moving any memory here, you will have the ability to retrieve it at any time, but until you need it, you will find that you will effortlessly not remember anything you place here, and so, by not remembering it, you will have control over the memory...and it will never affect you in any way ever again. "Take the lift back up and climb out of the can. "From now on through the rest of the running of this script, and only during the running of this script, when I say "raise your arm," what I mean is that I need you to Raise your left arm, if you are able, or if you are unable, raise your nose." When I say, "Lower your arm," if your nose is raised instead, please lower your nose at this time, as a signal to me that you are ready to move onward." In your mind, you find yourself relaxing in a most comfortable chair and watching a TV show about your life. Notice, as you are sitting here, there is a remote control in your hand, and on this remote you will notice a big red button, similar to the one on the wall. This button, upon pushing it, will allow you to take the memory that you are seeing on the television screen and placing it, by your choice, into the garbage can as a memory that you do not want to remember. Raise your arm. By going back in your life's memory, find yourself watching the point of where, in your life, this was the first time where something happened to you, in your life, that you disliked the memory enough to try to black it out, that you wish had never happened to you, and you have done everything that you can to forget it. So, as you press and hold down the red button, the tape backs up a bit and you find yourself at the beginning of this experience. For this moment, we will call this, "The Beginning." Using your current age in life state of mind (CAILSOM), review what happened in this experience without actually reliving the experience, so as to analyze exactly why you wanted to black it out. Now, using your wisdom, I want you now to see if you can come up with a different way to deal with this situation, starting at "The Beginning," so that you stop forgetting the memory, and, instead, move the original memory into the garbage can, while replacing it with this new, revised way to handle this memory. As you release the red button, the garbage can, which is an automated system, places this memory into it. Immediately after you release the button, you find that you are released from the memory. The original world of this memory will forever be lifted off your shoulders. For a moment, give yourself forgiveness for having held this memory against yourself for so long, and if you need to, cry, but instantly feel courage to push the fast forward button, which will take you now to the next such memory that you have tried to forget or wish had never happened to you, so you can tackle next memory...and the next and next...in this manner, until you reach that point in time where we are now at this age, at your age, that age you were when we began this session. This will happen faster and faster until all you have to do is press and release the red button. Lower your arm when you're done." (About two to ten minutes elapse, based on the age of the listener and the amount of turmoil this person has survived for this housekeeping to occur) "Okay, now, on your remote, I want you to push the rewind button, which takes you instantly to the beginning of your life memory, and now, I want to introduce you to the blue button. This time through your entire life memory, press and release the fast forward button. It will automatically stop at each time in your memory wherein you felt guilt or fear. Guilt is typically someone else's value structure that is superimposed over your own. Fear is often a reactive state. Raise your arm. So, by using blue button, NOW, your mind will automatically invent a proactive way to deal with the memories of these situations using your CAILSOM. What you will do is press and hold the blue button when you come to a memory wherein you ever felt guilt or fear. As you analyze the TV's story of what happened to cause you to feel guilt or fear, and, then, the tape will go back to the beginning of this current blue button experience and, this time, using your CAILSOM, you will create an alternative decision on how you would, right here and right now, deal with this situation, so as to conclude without feeling either guilt or fear, and instead enact the choice of having learned something, and subsequently, forever more, to turn off the guilt and fear. This is your life...you are in total control. So, as you release the blue button, your mind will automatically place that guilt-inducing or fear-inducing memory into the garbage can and replace this newly revised version into your life memory. This will happen faster and faster until all you have to do is press and release the blue button. Lower your arm when you're done." (Once again, about two to five minutes elapse for this housekeeping to occur) "Okay, now I want you to go back to the first time something wonderful happened to you. Raise your arm. I want you to relive this memory as if it is happening to you right now. When that memory is through, go to the next and next, so you refresh and relive your entire, wonderful life. Lower your arm when you're done." (2-5 minutes) "Now that you have taken control over your life memory, let your self-esteem increase. You're worth it. You have nothing from which to fear anymore. Those memories which controlled you...are now controlled by you. They are safely away. Build your self-esteem and self-love. Forgive yourself for any self-deflating fear or emotions you have had. You don't need them anymore. You're stronger than that. From now on, if anyone ever says anything or does anything to hurt you, the very instant you realize they are intentionally doing so is the instant you realize that they are not that important at this moment. Be careful with this. Learn what you choose to learn from the experience, if you believe the criticism to be constructive, and immediately adapt whatever lessons you feel the need to act upon, but if the person is being hyper-critical or abusive, you will notice that suddenly everything else in the room is far more important and so you hear everything except whatever is being said by this person. However, in all cases, you are responsible for your own actions, so be wary of your choices. "Through this process, you have set up a series of mental machines, or, if you will, computer programs for your mind, that you have used to process information which you have stored. You will find that they will serve you now for the rest of your life, just as you have used them today, so that instead of having a reactive existence, you will have a proactive existence, and your life will go along more smoothly, for you will be able to digest any situation at your leisure, that no one can ever bother you, and you will no longer be giving up control in any way. You have total control, but at your leisure. Raise your arm. Once again, I want you to imagine a TV screen with the face of the person about whom you have the strongest hate memories. In your hand is a remote control, and on the remote is a friendly looking green button that reads "Clear all." When you press and hold the button, all feelings you have for this person are forever removed so that you have no feelings for this person at all as well as no memories of this person, ever. No positive emotions, no negative emotions, no feelings whatsoever. It's not that you're numb, its just that, through their own action, they must be returned to that group of people whom you don't know and don't want to know. As soon as you release the green button, that face disappears and is replaced with the next person for whom you have either only hate or both love and hate feelings. As you look in their eyes and see them, then press and release the gree button. Automatically, you will eliminate them from your life, from all memories, ever. Lower your arm when you are done. (Wait 2 to 5 minutes) From now on, if you meet any of these people, you will treat them as if you are meeting someone new, and though you will have this flag to remind you that you don't want to know this person, at least you're in control over yourself and they will have no emotional impact on you whatsoever, for they have earned the distinction of being unworthy of your love, of your life, and of your memories. (If there are any further scripts to be added, this is the place to insert them) "From now on, let yourself enjoy life, one moment at a time. Take time to look at the clouds and let your imagination go. Be a kid again, and let your heart be free. This being a grown up concept is for the birds. You can be mature without being ancient. Live a little...heck, live a lot. At any time that you want, squeeze your fist for a moment and turn up your happiness. You're in such control, you don't even need to squeeze your fist...just do it. Your emotions are at your control...not the other way around. "Through this process, you have spent time reorganizing the way you process information. It will come to you, as it always has, but now you can relax, identify it, digest it, process it, and live it. You're safer for you will, by your own will, be a new person, not because someone told you to be, but because you read through the script, you edited it to your wants and desires, you found someone you trusted to help you do the session, or made this tape, if this is an audio tape of your own making, and you know that this is what you want. You are in control of the best part of you. "I want you to set a key word. This word can only be used by you, internally. The only way this word can work is for you to take a deep breath...then take a couple normal breaths...and when you choose to take a second deep breath, you say this word as you exhale. As you say this word, to yourself, you will immediately close your eyes and slip down into a deep, relaxing sleep, all the way to as far down as you are currently rested...or even further. Every time you do this form of self-relaxation...self-hypnosis...meditation...or whatever word makes you feel better...you find that you can go even deeper than you did the last time. "No one can ever speak this word to you and have any effect upon you. Let us set this word now...and the word is 'Soma.' " (or any other word that you would choose...I suggest Soma as it's breathy, uncommon in the US English language, means "sleep," and easy to say in a whisper) (Post-Hypnotic Suggestions go here) "Okay, now I am going to count from five to one. When I get to one, you will totally awaken from this place, this state of mind, and you will feel energized, you will feel love, you will feel great joy and happiness, and it's all because you simply want to feel that way.

Case History#1
I received email from a college student, whose email stated, "It is as if I will not let myself do anything well, even though I yearn to be able to succeed at school, or to play sports with aptitude, or to be able to even converse with women without severe apprehension." So, I volunteered to help.
After a month of negotiating a script, I ran a session for him over the phone using the above script with audio signals (instead of arm movements). As I didn't receive any email from him for two weeks after, I wrote to him, asking if he noted any changes. This is what he wrote,
"In a few short words, my life has taken a direction. . . a completely new direction. A few of the changes, listed in haste: I no longer feel the need to spend all day on the computer, or even a little bit. I have confidence, to put it bluntly, and find many women accept my advances now that I actually look them in the eye. Whenever I want to, I simply take a deep breath and summon up feelings of serenity, tranquility, and self acceptance, and the effects are astounding." Whenever I am stressed, whenever I feel bad, I simply inhale and I feel better immediately."
Case History#2Through the internet, I was contacted by a Vietnam Veteran who, in the mid-1990's, was still suffering from flashbacks and post-traumatic stress disorder. Utilizing the Garbage Can filing system, he placed from "the day {he} got on the plane to go into the military" to "the day {he} landed back home" in the garbage can.
In over a year after the one single session, that we ran over the phone, he had slept soundly, and had never a reoccurrence of these problems. I haven't heard from him since.
Case History#3A man contacted me to try hypnosis for a difficult reason. He had been "sucker punched" while in the Air Force, lost his eye, was very depressed, and said that he couldn't lift 100 pounds because he felt weak.
While in hypnosis, he stated that he felt excessive hatred for the guy that punched him, and that he felt ugly and weak from the loss of his eye. I suggested that his anger towards this guy was hurting only himself, and so he needed to release it. He agreed, and after crying for about five minutes while under hypnosis, I asked him to forgive himself for the self-loathing. Finally, with the help of a spotter, I asked him to open his eyes but not awaken, and to follow me into the weight lifting area of his house.
I loaded every weight in the house on the bar, bringing it up to 180 pounds. I asked him to lift it, which he did, but said it was too heavy. So I lowered it to 165 pounds, and he lifted that twice. I then asked him to fully wake up. I said, "Do you remember lifting that bar?" which he affirmed."That's 165 pounds. So, do you think you can lift a hundred (pounds)?" A grin crossed his face as he answered, "Yeah, I guess I can. . ."
Case History#4One patient, an ambulance driver, didn't trust people. In our session over the phone, I asked him to isolate and identify that feeling of not trusting. Then I asked him to go back to just before the very first time he ever felt this feeling, and to tell me about it.
He said,"I am on top of a jungle gym at a friends' house. Me and two other kids are playing. I told my friend that I needed to pee. He said for me to pee from up there. When I did, they laughed at me, and I then felt this feeling."
I asked the patient to go back to the beginning point again, to relive the event, but this time, let what he thought should have happened to actually happen, and then tell me about it. He started to laugh. I asked him what was happening. In a giggly voice, he said, "They are writing their names." Apparently, in this version, they joined him in the act. I asked the patient, "Is this a better memory than the one you had." He brightly said, "Yes." So I asked him to use this fantasy to replace the memory and to throw the truth in the garbage can.
His distrust problems went away.
Case History#4I did a session, in person, for an elderly woman who was long grieving the loss of her husband. She so missed talking to him, so I volunteered to do a hypnosis session for her so she might talk to an imagined version of him.
Once the induction and deepening were done, I asked her to not awaken but to open her eyes and to see her husband sitting in his chair, looking as healthy and happy as ever, and to talk with him, and then to call me when she was through. She opened her eyes, apparently saw him, and began talking to an empty chair. She believed what she saw, which was her husband, and so, I left the room, giving her the privacy she needed. About fifteen minutes passed before she called out for me to return. I then suggested that she would remember all that she would want to remember, and then asked her to awaken.
In discussions after the session, she related how at peace she finally was, having had time to say goodbye and to give her love. Whether this is real or not is none of my business. If the patient feels it was good, the patient determines what is good.
Case History#5I did a session, in person, with a guy one night. I pinched the air (I had nothing in my hand) and pretended to inhale from an imaginary hand rolled marijuana cigarette.
I pretended to be holding my breath with the imaginary smoke, and then passed my imaginary "joint" to this guy. As he inhaled from his fingers, I suggested that he got "Stoned-er and stoned-er."
The guy went completely limp, let out a "WHOA!" and let his head roll back as did his eyes. Although his relaxation was admirable, the fact that his eyes turned blood-shot red, just as they would if it were real marijuana, was a shock to me. The brain recreated every effect of the pot, even if there wasn't any. Talk about something to combat the drug war. No drug dealer can ever compete with FREE.
Case History#6
I met a woman who was unable to have sex with her boyfriend because every time she became aroused, "Daddy's face" would come into her mind and ruin the experience, for her father had raped her for years as a child. I volunteered.
In the session, which I ran in person, I had her set up an imaginary sexual encounter wherein, instead of her daddy there, it was her boyfriend in a consenting situation. I then asked her, "How does that feel?" She agreed that it felt wonderful. I then asked her to separate all sexual sensations from the original memory, and to place all non-sexual memories of her daddy in the garbage can.
From that day on, she said that she was able to have sex without any other problem. However, she called me about a decade later to relate that her dad had died, which gave her a huge rush of relief, for now she truly knew he couldn't hurt her or anyone ever again.
Case History#7
I had a woman who was in a wheelchair as a patient. She remembered being in a canoe, and then remembered being in a hospital room, paralyzed. She told me that she had been "out" (unconscious) for three days. She asked me to do hypnosis with her, in person, so she could remember what she blacked out. The following what she related from the event:
"I'm paddling in a canoe. . . . I see a sign that says,'DANGER!'. . . . I'm paddling fast but can't stop. . . I feel myself falling. . . I feel something hit my back. My feet went numb. I am falling. I am in the river at the bottom. . . someone is wading out to me. . . there are people here. . . they put me in an ambulance. . . I am in the hospital. . . they tell me that I'm paralyzed. . ."
Afterward, she told me that she felt better knowing what could not previously remember. For all her life, it had bothered her so much to not know.
Case History#8I did a hypnosis session with a 12 year old boy, in person with his parents there, who had not swung at a single baseball in ten games, was hit by a pitch, and, subsequently, freaked out. The problem wasn't that he wasn't hitting, but that he wasn't swinging the bat at all. What was more interesting was this fellow had played very well during the prior baseball season, a year earlier.
In his subconscious, I asked him to isolate the feeling he gets when he's up to bat which makes him feel like he doesn't want to swing. I then asked him to go back to just before he ever had this feeling in his life memory, and to then relate what happened to him so as for his mind to create or emote this feeling.
Apparently, he was to be the next player to bat, known as "on deck" in baseball lingo, and the player at bat was hit by a pitch, and as such, limped to first base. As our fellow was heading up to bat, someone in the crowd shouted a suggestion that the pitcher might hit our player as well. That suggestion went straight to his subconscious, which then reasoned, "If I don't swing, I don't put myself at risk." Once that thought was trashed, he hit well through the rest of the season.
These are only some of the hundreds of lives I've personally helped through the use of this remarkable script, and it is only fitting that such a tool be freely given to the world so that anyone can utilize these techniques. That is why it was given to the United Nations. When translated, it works in any language.If you have any questions, please first come to my website at:
