āThis bigger goal is connected to your life path, to your mission in life, and to your life values.ā
In my lifeās path, I have always gravitated toward a leadership position. Also, from a young age, I was interested in natural healing and spirituality. I studied occupational therapy and worked in psychiatric rehab.My dad had his own business and traveled globally, and as a side business was a Dale Carnegie instructor so I grew up on a diet of positive thinking and the power of the mind.
My ex-husband also had a business which operated globally. I became very involved in the property development side of the business.
Iāve dealt with suffering; lost my beloved dad when I was 6 months pregnant with my first child, had two children with life-threatening disease, one of whom died 13 years ago at age 14. A few years later I was divorced after a 25 year marriage.
Through it all, I strive for excellence. Whether this involved being the best medical caretaker of my children or to get through the divorce and up on my feet as quickly as possible. It was a lot about doing, and not being. (no uc awareness) Although I love my children fiercely, at times I felt like a machine with no emotions; albeit an exhausted machine.Post-divorce, after a business degree, I went on to study enneagram and NLP. NLP opened the door to great healing and personal growth.
So on my life path thereās this combo of leadership, business, acting with excellence, the power of integration between uc and cm, healing and dealing with trauma.
Thus I would articulate my bigger goal as:āHelp others become an authentic expression of their magnificent selves.
Transform the walking wounded into inspirational individuals who embrace life with flexibility, spontaneity, functionality and compassion.āMaybe expressed in a shorter version:
āThinking toward excellence, action with eleganceāThese are essentially my iterations of āTransform the Planetā as the latter inspires me.

Hi Adriana
Thank you for your reply. I especially like your comment: “relationships based on truth and no pretense with likeminded people are important” In the early days, I thought NLP was about constant positive thinking. Then I understood it’s about acknowledging the feelings that arise from the uc and having the tools to move forward from there. That with integration, both parties are heard. And it’s not a sign of failure to be open about the occasional funk one is experiencing, with fellow practitioners, whilst also knowing that they’re not going to attend any pity party, rather give the invitation to move to cause. And vice versa – me assisting other practitioners in a similar manner.
And now I’ll get to work on those values š

My mind had a little jolt when you put cold and functional together because ācoldā appeared to detract from āfunctionalā.
I often use the expression – āIām going for form over function here ā or āin this case itās function over formā. (My CE of āformā being elegance, grace, beauty.) For me itās a lack that one has to have that duality. Pure joy is a combination of the highest form and the highest function. Maybe thatās also a bit of VL6 wriggling out into the open š -

Hi Laura
How does one install the strategy of recognizing or labeling emotions for the pain paradigm? My client is highly dissociated. When asked – what emotion are you feeling – he says ānormalā. He cannot verbalize any sensations either. I strongly suspect secondary gain – but assuming the absence of that – what would the process of recognizing sensation / labeling sensation be? Thank you!

Thanks Annie. I guess itās about us being real with each other. And having the openness to hear: when did you decide that? ?
If all of us knew exactly how to do this journey, we wouldnāt be here; the exciting thing is that weāre prepared to push into the unknown, knowing weāre not alone and able to encourage each other, learn from each other and champion our triumphs. Looking forward to that! ?? -
