How To Find The Beliefs Underlying Your Problems
Many of you have written to me saying you understand how to eliminate a belief, but you don’t know how to find the specific beliefs that cause specific problems. You’ve asked when we are going to offer a training class that will teach you how to do that.

The second course to be offered shortly thereafter will teach you how to find the relevant beliefs for different problems. In the meantime, however, [...]
The Causes And Cure For Overeating
The more we work with clients who have a problem of overeating, the more convinced I am that we have come up with an effective solution to a major health crisis. Over 70% of American adults are either overweight or obese. That is a disastrous situation for those people who have an eating/weight problem and a serious crisis for society as a whole.

So this post will correct those mistakes and bring you up to date on what I am currently doing to help people stop emotional eating for good. My single biggest error was in stating, “I finally realized that almost all emotional eating involves both types [classical and operant] of conditioning.” In fact, I’m now pretty sure that neither of these types of conditioning is involved. Conditioning is still the [...]
