I received this today:

Tom,

Here's a testimonal that I put together. Do what you will with it.

Where to start. Anywhere that leads you in the direction that you want to
go. I've had my fair dose of NLP training. Two NLP practitioners training by
a internationally acclaimed trainer, and a Meta-States training. So I
learned the NLP model and others.

The whole reason I got into NLP was because I had to have a change in my
life. Things were going down hill fast. I had a long list of behavioral
problems and symptoms that had seemed to get built up because I hadn't known
what to do to change.

1 was that I was heavily depressed for about 6 years. I'm an artist and if
any of you guys out there know any, then you know they are some of the most
messed up people. I had horrible mood swings.

2 I locked myself in my room whenever I was home, argued with my parents
nonstop, and would blow up at just about anybody that I thought sparked my
fuse. I was a big baby who didn't want to grow up.

3 I used drugs constantly to self-medicate. I was very selfish. I had quite
a few clients that I blew off because I was scared.

4 I didn't enjoy school, and didn't go cause I had laid in my bed like it
was my only comfort. I would do the same thing with work, and I wouldn't
even call to tell them I wouldn't be in. I had laid in bed until I got my
emotional fix from self loathing. I'm surprised I didn't get fired.

5 You know your environment and the people you hang out with really affect
you. And I can do that very well. Some people can have that influence on
you, it is like a magnet, they can just draw you in. Well i had a polarity,
and it was negative. The thing about it was that it had manifested into a
large portion of my life. I could verbally vomit on cue. I even disowned my
friends a few times. Life was confusion.

6 Let's see what else. Oh ya, I got institutionalized.

7 Um.... had been arrested for drugs.

What else. Did I mention that I was very successful and well respected in
the community I interacted in. People enjoyed me and at times I enjoyed
myself. I was one of the go-to-people in the art community.

So ya, back to the NLP training i have had. After the first NLP one, I
crashed, even harder than the way I was before. I was on tilt. Then two
months past, went to another NLP training, and crashed again.

Alright one more time, i went to my Meta-States training after another month
had past.

Guess what? You got it, I crash again. WTF..I thought these guys were the
best? I read all their books and had trained with one of them twice.

What I mean by crash is I would feel good for about a month or so and be
able to do the change work on myself and other people.

Training isn't therapy. OK. I figured that out. Therapy is therapy. 3DM is
better than that.

So I happened to come across Tom and Kim's material this past summer ('05)
and saw the anchoring videos and noticed that they had six of them. I bought
them, watched them, loved them, and began to buy the others over the course
of a month. If I had to do it again I would have bought in bulk.

So at some point I got my hands on the 3dmind DVD's. I watched them and had
this shift. Something happened when I watched those videos and that's when I
knew that I wanted to go to one as soon as possible.

I went to the 3Dmind practitioner training recently in Atlanta (Summer '05).
I was a bit frighten considering my past experience with seminars. This one
I decide to go and have fun and just play and that's what I did. Yes, I did
hit a problem that wasn't so pleasant, but Tom, Kim, and the rest of the
Practitioners were all there for support and assistance.

I don't know what it is but something that changed my life happened and
continues to change my life. I felt at home while at the training. The
people there did a wonderful job. I have relationships with those people who
were at the training, and talk to a few of them on a regular basis.

Now I'll tell you this, I think change happens fast, real fast, but I also
know that with the long list of my bad behaviors all my shit wasn't going to
change into a reusable engergy overnight.

I now pretty much exclusively use 3dmind for my problems. All the other
patterns I used were watered down. 3d-mind is consistent and it incorporates
most all of the skills into a cohesive model. Anchoring, States, Sensory
Acuity, Modeling, Trance. You name it, it's in the model.

The training was more then what I wanted and expected. Tom and Kim set a
great environment for the practitioners to interact and develop the skills.
Were there any draw backs to the training? The only one that I know of is
that they continue to develop the model so the next group of practitioners
get improvements, so get it while it's hot!

So how did the training really help me. Well, it changes what I am conscious
of. Anchoring, states, rapport, along with knowing and watching for the way
other people access states and when they are in a state. My calibration to
another persons state has accelerated. I am able to calibrate to someone's
state and shift my behavior appropriately to match or do something else that
will benefit the rapport. I can covertly shift peoples states and anchor
them.

The level of change work I do on myself is what I think has made a
significant impact on my life. I've changed and I am changing. I don't think
I would have the level of skill and competence in my changework if I hadn't
gone to the 3D-mind seminar.

En joy

Ken
