THE 5 INSTINCTS The primary “fear” in all humans is the fear of death. More completely, it is the fear of dying without completing our task. Even non-believing social scientists have noted an underlying, innate desire to fulfill our task wired into every human. This is the fear that feeds all other fears. Just as fear underlies destructive emotions such as anger or sadness, the fear of dying without completing our task is the root of all fears. Each of us has been given five

Imposter syndrome is the internal psychological experience of feeling like a phony in some area of your life, despite any success you have achieved in that area. You might have imposter syndrome if you consistently experience self-doubt, even in areas where you typically excel. Imposter syndrome may feel like restlessness and nervousness and may manifest as negative self-talk. Symptoms of anxiety and depression often accompany it. Imposter syndrome is not an easily diagnosabl

Skill Transfer – A True Mystery Revealed As I travel the country and interview potential partners for yet another quality contract, I am alarmed by the widespread misunderstanding of the most important ingredient in any effective training curriculum for successful organizations: the mysterious art of Skill Transfer. I ask several questions repeatedly to determine whether a particular organization properly deploys this methodology: What quantitative and qualitative data do you

We All Learn Differently Assessment of Skills, Weaknesses, and Primary Strengths So, you want to be the CEO of Apple—but you’ve never run a successful small business. What are your chances? Maybe you want to get married soon, but your longest relationship lasted nine weeks. Some of you want to earn $20,000 per month, yet you’ve never made more than $4,500. Others dream of becoming famous singers—but can’t carry a tune. So… what are you going to do? Start With Honest Self-Asse

Assessment of Personality Profile Data. We need data. Both qualitative and quantitative information allow us to better understand individuals and build an accurate action plan for achieving goals. Without data, we risk falling far short of true success. Intuition alone is not enough—we need a foundation. That foundation begins with identifying personality profiles. There are many effective personality assessment tools available, but we use a simple and powerful method develop

Relaxation and Self-Hypnosis A key first step in using regression as a pathway to clear trauma is bringing the individual to a place of data clarity before the session begins. They must accept this core idea:Past experiences can—and often do—shape present perception. And perception drives action. What I imagine… becomes real to me. If I feel threatened by a 7-pound dog, then that dog is a real threat to me. My heart races, adrenaline spikes, and I react—jumping back, running,

Bonding and Attachment Now that you’ve identified your emotional “inner children” and their corresponding traumas, the next step is to understand how to bond with and reintegrate them. In nearly every traumatic experience, there is a sense of separation or abandonment—whether from parents, family, God, a spouse, or friends. This creates an internal void. Healing that void is just as important as healing the trauma itself. In fact, complete healing is not possible without it.

Better Listening Listening is a skill. For some, it feels like an art—but it is a skill nonetheless. We will demonstrate listening techniques in our videos to support your development, but first, let’s understand how humans actually communicate. Everyone lies. Sometimes intentionally. Sometimes unintentionally. Sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically. People lie to protect themselves, to gain approval, or to avoid conflict. Because of this, we must learn to hear what’s actua

Reflection That Creates Catharsis Catharsis: the process of releasing—and finding relief from—strong or repressed emotions. Letting go of old ideas and buried emotions begins with awareness. When we reinterpret past pain and take intentional action, we create space for a new version of ourselves to emerge. Inventory is one of the most powerful tools for internal clarity. For some reason, we tend to write more honestly than we speak. The hand often reveals truths the voice avo

Unrealistic fear is often at the root of broken behavior. Distorted fear drives poor decisions, harmful actions, and self-destruction. Fear can be a thief—it robs us of dreams, peace, and joy. At the same time, healthy fear serves an essential purpose. When it is properly balanced, it guides us toward wise decisions and protective action. Without it, we would take reckless risks—handling rattlesnakes, stepping into traffic, or chasing dangerous rewards without hesitation. So

Introduction to the Multiple Emotional Child Before introducing the concept of the multiple emotional child, I want to clarify my role and intention. I am not approaching this as a licensed therapist or counselor, although I have worked in those capacities. My role here is that of a teacher, consultant, and life coach. My aim is simple: to share practical tools that can help you better understand and heal yourself. This framework is not meant to replace therapy, faith, or sup

Inspecting the Past Trauma Todd Johnson Oct 26, 2023 18 min read Moral Inventory Each human being is apt to have trauma, addiction and/or pain blockers that prohibit them from performing at their best and yielding success from their projects, goals or actions. As you assess yourself or the individual via Personality Profile, Fear/Resentment inventory, Fantasy purpose, Assets and Skills you will begin to note disruptions in thinking and behavior. At times the appearance of the

What is Sobriety? Sobriety is clarity of mind. When an individual spends most of their mental and emotional energy pursuing an obsession, their thinking becomes clouded. In that state, clarity is reduced and priorities become distorted. What is Obsession? Obsession: an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person’s mind. When obsession (or addiction) takes hold, all other thoughts and responsibilities are pushed into the background. The obsession becom

Purpose Encourages Drive Purpose is the reason something is done, created, or exists. Motivation to act requires more than need or desire. Many times, people know they should eat, exercise, study, clean, or practice a skill—but still cannot move into action. In these moments, what is missing is often purpose. Purpose is the fuel behind meaningful action. It gives direction to effort and transforms intention into movement. As a Life Coach, the role is often to help identify pu
