--Rob, You are a very, very uniquely talented guy and it's great to see you doing all you can to put your talent and passion out there for other people like me! Please keep me posted! ~ Becky
--October 16, 2012 Hello Dr. Rob, This is a letter of thanks. I went from being afraid and blaming to standing up for myself and accepting responsibility. I went from not knowing where i was going or doing to making choices and setting goals. I went from waiting for my life to living and doing and looking forward. I went from looking down to looking up. I went from not being able to look into the future to visualizing where and who I want to be. I changed from the person who finds a problem with any situation to the person who will run over any potential issue with a smile. I went from a dreamer to doer. I went from avoiding discomfort to comfort in the discomfort. I was once told the definition of crazy is doing the same thing repeatedly expecting different results. I was also told the definition of success is after being nocked down 7 times you stand up 8. Sounds like you “gottabe” a little crazy to be successful I still stumble and even fall but everything i work for is worth getting up and facing head on. Thank you for everything. Jiselle V.

--I would say that the IDEAL program is about transformation. At the beginning of the IDEAL program we were asked to select a goal that we wanted to accomplish. My goal was to overcome the fear of public speaking. Doing the bookletexercises and attending the Team meetings on Wednesdays for 90 days gave me a deeper insight about myself that helped me to see that what I really wanted was not so much tobe able to speak in public but to feel OK about myself---to feel wanted, safe, worthy, and loved. I am looking forward to taking the class in September. Gloria M
--Thank you for your continued support in constant learning and growing. Yes, it's sad not to have you and Dr. Jason around teaching your life-expanding courses. Just know you are missed....and yes, so is Nancy. But, it will be nice to see what fate is 'brewing up' next! Best of luck on your new teaching, authoring, and swimmin' with the big fish ventures......you are a great example to your students of how to keep believing, keep growing and live new B&Gs! To answer your question, I'm cookin' up my next B&G right now and will let you in on it soon! Everyone sharing their experiences of the first few days on this wonderful journey is very inspiring. Because I am capable and worthy, by January 3rd, 2010 or sooner, I will find the career/path that is aligned with mycalling and passion and one that gives me happiness- Yogita
Dear Dr. Rob, Thank you so much for our session yesterday. I feel like I am really benefiting. Yesterday some very pertinent issues were uncovered. Betsy was the "Happy" one in the family. I revealed to you that my mother told me it wasn't all about my being happy... I didn't realize that that statement had impacted my core belief about myself. This is very deep and revealing for me. I feel more clam and at peace. I trust it will last. – Betsy
How awesome it is for all of us to be at this place where all we're going to do is move more surely, more strongly and with more love and positive energy than ever before! It is an honor to share this journey with all of you wonderful friends! Because I let go of the judgment and fear and believe I am worth it by January 3, 2011 or sooner I will be at my ideal happy weight of 127 pounds. - Heather
I'm really touched by all of your all's posts and comments... You are wonderful! And by the way, I can feel this working...! It's important to trust the process. :-) Big hugs to you all, - Stephie
So I think the energy shift is affecting in many different ways. And the accountability of the emails is working. Many times when I think "I'll do it tomorrow" I then think "what will I tell the email group" . - Keith
-Good morning at spin class and after a weekend in Vegas I'm still ahead of pace on my goal. Feeling great with unlimited energy and making smart decisions each time I need to fuel up. – Justin Ok, so I was invited to an executive briefing for a business mentoring coaching program this morning up in Ontario, CA. During the 2 hour orientation, the speaker made mention of a doctor In San Diego, by the name of dr. Rob Irwin that has this great "train the brain" program. He mentioned Dr Rob and was using some of the techniques he heard while in the Train Your Brain Seminar. I just sat there and smiled. Thanks rob. We are all very fortunate to be a part of This incredible program- Jon F.
Life is good! I wrote to Dr Rob about my last neurofeedback experience yesterday and I think I should share some of my experience. We all have come to this group with different needs and goals. My story was one of getting back my sparkle and light in my eyes; to feel "whole" again. War changed my soul and my brain. I woke up one day to a brain that was different both physically and psychologically. The things I saw changed me and made me numb to my emotions and to life. I started therapy for PTSD while still active duty and had some success which included neurofeedback while on active duty at Camp Pendleton but once I retired, I was no longer offered that type of therapy. My sleep was horrible and I still felt that disconnection from people. I looked at every trigger (helicopters, smells, sounds) as a reminder of what I had and what I lost. I now embrace my triggers and turn towards them. I engulf and digest them as they once did me. And in this, I have found peace. My neurofeedback session on Thursday showed a very calm brain. At the beginning of therapy at Camp Pendleton, my session was bright orange with obvious areas of distress. I sat there on Thursday in peace and quiet. All of you might have experienced trauma in your life. I believe turning towards your trauma, exploring it, talking about it, and having neurofeedback to train the brain can make the difference in finding peace and purpose to your life. - Linda S.
The week has already started out so well and it's only Tuesday! Signed-up 3 new clients this week and am getting ready to begin training a client for a reality show on Thursday. I am confident that my network television debut will be a huge stepping stone to my belief that I am the next fitness celebrity. – Nikole
This group continues to amaze me: I came with friends that have past me up, I knew friends there that past me up, and I made a friend that past me up. NOW, I am blessed. Because my Greatness Shines through me Naturally, on Jan. 3rd, 2011 I will have a 3,000 sq. ft. home or more, with a pool and yard, on an acre or more, for me and my children, in Escondido, CA. - Eric
Interesting to note... Yesterday was a pretty crazy day at work. Lots of unexpected curves and some true problems to solve. I didn't really notice until the day was done, but I remained very calm through it all and the issues really didn't impact my mode in a negative way. Can't say with 100% confidence that it's all about the brain training, but I can say it was certainly nice and that the 'calmness' wouldn't have been my standard response (at least not my past standard). I'm smiling about it, for sure. – Hale
I looooooooooved seeing you all tonight and missed those who were not there. We had an amazing get together and I am feeling that there will be twice as many people there next time. It is so powerful, the bonds and energy we are creating within this group. – Karina
Wow, what a week! After recuperating somewhat from this nasty flu, I think I may feel close to normal. I just have to say what a great gift it has been to be a part of this group. The benefits to myself personally, as well as Heather have been remarkable. aI had the privilege of helping my wife locate her ideal office for her EFT practice. (Poor thing, she is only 3 blocks from the beach). It is great to see her confidence and joy increase exponentially. The EFT has had profound effects on her-she finally believes her belief! - Allen
I am 3 pounds shy of me goal - 183 and though I have stayed in my current career industry, because of my mental shift in perspective, I now have an opportunity from another company that brings me much more benefits and fulfillment then ever imagined possible. Actually this is true in all aspects of my life. :-) Lastly, for the first time in my life I have an exit strategy and plan for a complete career change that can occur over the next couple of years...thanks for your support. – Joe
Feb 1st, 2012 Hello, If all my hard work wasn’t paying off, why bother? What do I have to do to lose weight anyway? That is some pretty stinking thinking, and it sounds just like the old me. Haven’t I learned anything from my classes and my retraining my brain exercises from Dr. Rob and Dr. Jason After some introspection, it is very clear what I need to do to lose weight. I need to stop eating out so much. If I choose to join a friend for lunch, I can bring a sandwich or snack like I did when I first started my program. My program needs to be a priority, not something I do while I am on the run with my busy life. I need to pre-plan my meals to eliminate mindless eating. And I need to track my food on a daily basis. These are strategies I used that led to a 15 pound weight loss. Am I going to give up now? Of course not! I need to learn from my mistakes and move forward confidently toward my goal. We weigh in again in three weeks, and I plan on losing 5 pounds. I will remain committed to the process because I am worth it! Feb 9 Last night was my second official week on the Create Your Weight program, and I have been feeling great. My physical exercise has continued as usual, and I have been implementing the brain retraining exercises suggested by Dr. Rob and Dr. Jason. The brain retraining exercises have made a significant difference in how I perceive my journey now. It is not so much a struggle; it seems to be flowing more naturally. I am eating healthier foods now, and I am eating a lot more mindfully too. What is really interesting is that I am enjoying my food so much more now. Posted by Nancy Fielder.
