40 Years of Grief Healed in 60 Mins (Dynamic Listening & Stories) | Robert McDonald @ Telos Center

The field of psychology can't agree on a single definition for 'The Mind'. How can you solve problems of something you cannot define? Our guest has pieced together the best of multiple disciplines to develop his own methodology he called "The Destination Method" (TDM).

The root of most issues? Beliefs.

Best of all, anyone can learn to custom design metaphors and tell stories that heal and transform these core limiting beliefs.

🔑 Key takeaways
- Our relation to our memories is the difference between profound happiness and PTSD. With the right technique, we can transform every relation and thus the state it causes.
- "Listening is of profound importance. It's made of the ability to put myself in the shoes of another person, and I teach people how to do that and how to get out again. Because if you get in the shoes of another person and you can't get out again, this will be very, painful for you. It's called codependence." -- Dr. Robert
- Non-judgment is impossible; what most people really want is no *negative* judgment
