Thanks, George, for all your comments. You have a nice detached understanding of comments. You don't internalize stuff.
All i know is i have no interest in NLP. I read a few books & that was enuff for me. It just doesn't interest me much.
However, i still am amazed at my results w/ PhRing. I took a break from it for a long time & when i started up again, i was impressed w/ the progress. So, maybe a break from it is worthwhile at times.
I hope you connect w/ Dana b/c he really is helpful. I generally e-mail him.
I know Pete doesn't like to hear about ages, but sometimes it's worthwhile. I'm pretty advanced in age so my PhRing is only for my interests. I did work w/ a young man who was doing poorly in medical school. He PhRs all of his medical stuff now & is doing well in residency. I also tutored my brother's step son. He graduated as the "most improved student in his class" & went on to college. So, i've had a couple success stories i personally can vouch for.
Stick w/ it & do it in layers & you'll be happy w/ the results.
