How does one know what is the correct therapy if one doesn't understand the problem.
If direct learning really did "change habits" over night in quantum leaps, rather than further develop skills that we already have to some degree. I'd say psychologist, therapist, counsellors etc, are going to form a secret society and make the information that they provide in those books a lot more obscure, with more unusal jargon than they do now. Or else they'd have to look for a new career.
That is not to say it doesn't work. Since in my own experience it does empower you but as for noticing quantum leaps. I work up one day 6 months ago and noticed what I have been doing for the past 12 months. I've taken risk unlike I've ever taken in my life. In fact given my circumstances some people are appalled at my endeavours. However my cofidence is such that even my family has opted to support me and not even question my decisions and actions.
I was always a sound decision maker but worried a lot about the decision. Now I make a decision and just do it, No worries. Where I learnt it and from what book I don't know I've photoread too many to say that was the one. Though here's the paradox... I direct learnt without the direct learning protocol. My usually question when I photoread a book is what's in this book thatnew that I don't know yet, and is useful to me?
If changing a heck of a lot is a quantum leap, fair enough, but this leap was only noticed by me one year down the track, perhaps I was too busy to notice or more accurately I wasn't looking to change myself in that way. My inner guide decided that. Whether I would have learnt in therapy that that is the best next step for me to take I don't know. I've been moving along that line for 18 months now and still changing.
To use direct learning to fix myself? Why I'm not broken? I can change and do things a lot more effectively and handle life more effectively yet I see that as an ongoing exploration in life.
So good luck I really think a little more patience and trying it with some more or different books. In life persistance is a vital key to success in anything along with postive expectations.
