Ep 48 Wendy Yellen – How to deal with Fear, Anxiety, and Panic during COVID-19
Wendy Yellen is on a mission to create real change in people’s lives to shift what’s possible and transform then in a profound way through Eidetics. She is a former psychotherapist, who got tired of the inefficiency of therapy and left it all together to try different careers.  After re-finding and experiencing eidetic imagery, she was hooked, as it shifted her life drastically. So she started a new career as a practitioner, and has not looked back since.
In this Episode We Cover: 

* How everybody has experienced different kinds of traumas in their life
* Managing the Emotional Ups and Downs of COVID-19
* How Unhealed Trauma Affects Us
* How the coronavirus pandemic is impacting your mental health
* Why escaping the trauma is not helping you
* How fear, anxiety, and panic is firing our neurons 10x faster
* Demonstration of Eidetic Imagery for COVID-19
* When you can use the exercise
* How to dive into a pain in your body in order to release it
* How to use Eidetics to deal with loss and sadness

Note from Wendy about the exercise: “Sometimes people don’t often feel the ice image as deeply as they think they “should”.  BUT the ice image works anyway, as long as people are shoveling or pouring the ice and watching what happens to the brain, and if they feel the ice, then that’s wonderful, but not essential. Plus, of course, you can hear in your voice that something is not as deep as in might be, so that would be helpful for people to understand their own process if they have the same question.”
Bio:
Wendy Yellen, named one of the International Top 3 Transformational Experts in her field and bestselling author, supports people of heart and integrity around the world to live a full, passionate, successful, and unshackled life of love, awareness and compassion, without it costing them their soul.
Wendy had a 100% full, 100% referrals, waiting list only private practice in psychotherapy in Houston, Texas. She closed her practice completely because she no longer believed in any of the traditional and non-traditional therapies she was certified in.
Years later, when she was reintroduced to the father of Eidetic Imagery, Dr. Akhter Ahsen, she knew she had found the Holy Grail of transformational work and jumped back into
working with people and transformation. Since then she has introduced thousands of men and women around the world to the evidence-based treatment of Eidetics. This practice, based on Ancient Greek knowledge and 21st Century science, uses the power of eidetic images to enable business people and creatives to unlock their full potential and remove the weight of old, often “unseen” vulnerabilities which have been holding them back.

Ep 40 – Wendy Yellen – How to Create Real Transformation with Eidetics
Wendy Yellen is on a mission to create real change in people’s lives to shift what’s possible and transform then in a profound way through Eidetics. She is a former psychotherapist, who got tired of the inefficiency of therapy and left it all together to try different careers.  After re-finding and experiencing eidetic imagery, she was hooked, as it shifted her life drastically. So she started a new career as a practitioner, and has not looked back since.
In this episode we discuss:

* What is Eidetic Imagery & the practice of Eidetics?
* It’s origins in Ancient Greece
* Akhter Ahsen’s, the founder of this method, rediscovery of this ancient practice in the 1960s
* Elements of an Eidetic Image?

* An image that’s inside of everyone – that contain a visual, emotions, sensations and a lot of meaning.
* The difference of this process is we don’t go into meaning, its about change
* The change happens when we watch images and then change them
* An Eidetic image is NOT a visualization, but has a life of it’s own, and each one is different


* We go back into time, to Wendy’s origin story

* Wendy’s experience as a former therapist helped her be present with more folks
* From as early as college she was all about what creates real change
* How Wendy turned around her relationship fo 40 years with her husband


* Wendy then takes me through a demonstration of Eidetic Imagery

* For the exercise

* What do you want to work on and have a shift on?
* What do you encounter in yourself / what do you feel when your in it?


* Rules

* Don’t try and control it
* In this example we talk about parents, but its not about history, its about the filters in our head that reflect ourselves
* It’s not about memory or recalling something, as the eidetic image is much deeper than that, and looking at what’s inside of us
* Eyes closed or open, and not recommended so it while driving it





Wendy Yellen Bio
Wendy Yellen, named one of the International Top 3 Transformational Experts in her field and bestselling author, supports people of heart and integrity around the world to live a full, passionate, successful, and unshackled life of love, awareness and compassion, without it costing them their soul.
Wendy had a 100% full, 100% referrals, waiting list only private practice in psychotherapy in Houston, Texas. She closed her practice completely because she no longer believed in any of the traditional and non-traditional therapies she was certified in.
Years later, when she was reintroduced to the father of Eidetic Imagery, Dr. Akhter Ahsen, she knew she had found the Holy Grail of transformational work and jumped back into
working with people and transformation. Since then she has introduced thousands of men and women around the world to the evidence-based treatment of Eidetics. This practice, based on Ancient Greek knowledge and 21st Century science, uses the power of eidetic images to enable business people and creatives to unlock their full potential and remove the weight of old, often “unseen” vulnerabilities which have been holding them back.

Ep 36 Glenn Livingston – Never Binge Again
Glenn Livingston is on a mission to help a million people stop binge eating. As a psychotherapist by training, Glenn did not find a good solution for his own addictive eating patterns in traditional therapy. He set out on his own weightloss journey, funded his own research, and realized that the solution was not fixing his emotional issues, but changing the relationship he had with the voices in his head.
In this episode we cover:

* Glenn’s mission to help a million folks
* How Glenn gained weight in his early twenties
* How food addiction took Glenn away from being present as psychotherapist
* Looking at how our animal brain works
* Why to fix food addiction with regular therapy does not work
* How some foods hijack our brain
* The similarities between cell phone addiction and food addiction
* Glenn’s origin story of his chocolate addiction
* How the paradigm of alpha wolf helps you gain control of your eating
* Why if you think you’re eating for comfort, your wrong

Bio
Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Glenn has sold $30,000,000 of marketing consulting services over the course of his career. You may have seen his (or his company’s) previous work, theories, and research in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, American Demographics, or any of the other major media outlets you see on this page. You may also
have heard him on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV.
Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.
Glenn is a regular blogger on Psychology Today. The link is below.

When was your last bad day?
For Michael OBrien, it was July 11th, 2001. It was the day he was struck head-on by a speeding SUV while out on a training bike ride and shares his journey in his best-selling memoir, Shift: Creating Better Tomorrows and donates the proceeds to World Bicycle Relief.
His doctors prepared him for a life of limits and suffering, but the power of mindset, resilience, gratitude, and a strong peloton paved a different path for Michael.
Today he has a goal of helping 1,000,000 people have their last bad day. Because his last bad day helped him shift his perspective and approach to his career and life and he wants others to experience the same.
Now as an executive coach, speaker, and author he helps others move from human doer to becoming the wealthiest human being they know – starting from the inside out.
