I see it right away. With the IPM, the question is how does taking away a leak effect the remaining behavior? That's why you have a modle. For example, when I took away jealousy using Doctor Hannibal Lecter, I became sexually agressive and very passionate.
Now, leaks can come back. Unless the behavior is reinforced and rewarded, the IPM is a "Bandler-Aide," to make a pun of it.
I dunno. When I think "esoteric," I think of BIG things like Centrepoint. I hate to say "maybe you're not throwing enough money at it," but I'm not sure what "it" is. It sound like your not happy with who you are. That's very hard to change. You can either do what Tony Robbins did and do a complete overhaul of yourself, or you can find ways to become comfortable with who you are. The question is where the discomfort lies. If it is with your actions, your behaviors or your situation, that's one thing. If it's with your core, that's another.
I'd definately recommend a thought-structuring-program, like "Natural Brilliance." If your budget only allows for individual paraliminals, "Personal Genius" is wonderful. It combines the "beginners mind" approach to problem solving with a healthy dose of inner confidence in your mental prowress. I've watched movies immediately after listening to Natural Brilliance, and immediately followed by Memory Supercharger. It's a very profound effect.
