Do You Feel Like a Failure?

Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavior Modification, & Past-Life Regression Can Ignite Your Passion!

Is your inner monologue telling you that you should be a huge success? Do you feel like a failure?

Is your brain constantly chattering about how this person or that person is more successful, beautiful, talented, or just luckier?

Would you like to change?

If so, then Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavior Modification, Mindfulness Therapy, and Past-Life Regression can stop your nasty inner saboteurs and change the bedrock of your faulty belief system.

How do I know? Because I was a colossal failure, according to most. The picture above is me, playing Zhenga, the Russian soldier slut, (the General’s Babe) in an Off-Off Broadway disaster in 1980. It didn’t lead to stardom, but it led me to know that acting wasn’t my passion. (Especially when the famous Moscow Art Russian director became enraged because I wouldn’t have sex with him – Harvey Weinstein wasn’t the only creep in the entertainment biz.)

Soon after that, I came home to Hollywood and did a couple of TV shows, and I was not too fond of that either.

Then, I started taking screenwriting classes at UCLA. I got into UCLA’s School of Film and Television at 40 and got loads of screenwriting awards, then went to work for Disney/Touchstone as a writer. But I was an older woman in a world of hot-headed, stiff-dicked young men. They wrote action movies with superheroes, car chases, and noisy explosions, and I didn’t. I failed again.

Simultaneously, during my eleven years in New York, I drove a taxi on weekend nights from 1974-1981. That taught me more about people and society than getting a PhD in sociology and political science at Berkeley.

When I got home to Los Angeles, I waited tables for a bit, then got a great gig at UCLA’s Neuropsychiatric Institute, doing the field research that became the DSMIII – Revised, 1982-1987. I interviewed hundreds and hundreds of people. That gave me more than a PhD. It allowed me to see and hear what makes people happy and what makes them miserable. The findings? It’s not what happens to you that matters – it’s how you tell the story of your own life to yourself.

So, if you want to succeed, you must change your inner monologue. People who were huge failures at what they thought they were “supposed” to do got thrown into challenges that made them huge successes. The person who pops into my mind first is Ulysses S. Grant. (“Grant,” by Ron Chernow, will cheer you up if you think you’ve got problems!) Or Thomas Paine, a fall-down drunk, a complete failure at everything he’d ever done, but he had a way with words, and he had passion. His tiny pamphlet, “Common Sense,” changed American history. Countless others could be named.

I forgot to mention that I was a big failure because I wasn’t married. I didn’t meet the man who made me incarnate until I was 42. And that’s the story of my book: “Love from Both Sides – A Story of Reincarnation.” It’s on my website.

I’m very successful now because I love what I do. I have passion for my work. I help people heal from traumas in their life and past lives.

I help clients re-frame their life stories into an Inner Movie where they are the hero or heroine of their own life. I help people discover their life’s purpose, create passion, and find the courage to conquer their fears.

For you? If you want to change your inner monologue, consider it as your inner computer that needs an upgrade and a reset. If you want help, I can teach you how to unplug and reset!
