Episode Notes

Greg Beckett is a motivational hypnotist that I met five or so years ago at a Kyle Cease “Flow Group”.  We hadn’t talked for a couple of years so it was time to catch up.  And as Greg knows about me and I know about him, we have a lot of fun.  We talk identity, boundaries, and the Superconscious.  Am I a better man because of our conversation?  Yes, I am.  Did I learn something that helped me?  Yes, I did.   Greg is insightful, vulnerable, and says what's on his mind…  Enjoy the ride.  

Notes:

You can also call it “a transition”.   I call myself a motivational hypnotist, “I don’t diagnose and I don’t prescribe”.  I use the tool of hypnosis with other things to help people see things differently or to move forward.  Oh and he teaches Hypnosis. 

The superconscious is what he’s tapping into…  Shift change, release things, whatever needs to be done…  to move to shift.  Can we shift the autoimmune system?  Hypnosis is just as powerful over Zoom…  Allow the higher mind to take care of things that need to be taken care of that they might not even know needs attention.  I.e. letting source be the guide of what to heal.

Remembrances of my session with Greg 3 years ago.  It provided me peace and clarity to move forward… 

We get into Identity and the separation of Identity - Letting go of that old identity can be hard.  That’s how he ended up at flow group, trying to breakthrough and move forward from an old identity.  Outside people hang onto the old idea of what they want us to be, and it can make it very hard to move forward from…  All parties will have an opportunity to grow.  You either stay in it or when the pain gets bad enough…

The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz, changes his life.  The agreements are: Always do your best, don’t take anything personally, be impeccable with your words, and don’t make assumptions. He has a deep rich history with the book.  The Identity thing comes from the Four Agreements…  The idea that you are hurting their growth and not only your own.  “Why are they mad that you are doing something that you want to do?”  That fear of change and the unknown.  “Go with the change man.”  How do we see everyone as they are in the moment for who they are right now.   He has had to find his way…  That meditative moment.   

Really it’s all about taking care of yourself. 

Greg, tell me about the moment where you are about to cry…  It’s that opportunity to be authentic, this well of emotion, this truth, this feeling, this appreciation.  Often time it’s not mine.  I’m getting ready to tell the truth.  I feel safe to show it.  It’s allowable or it’s useful.  “This vulnerability was what I had to hide away for most of my life.”  “Growing up it was a weakness in other peoples eyes it wasn’t just a genuine niceness…  I had to hide it away to protect it.  This is my superpower.”

We come from different worlds him and me…  We have had some bitch slap moment opportunities in our group.  Our extended 4 person flow group that lived on for a few years.  He gave me some bitch slap moments once or twice.  He felt like in those moments I was living for someone else that was no longer around.  I was hooked on the “appropriate choices for what other people would think”…  Greg helped me be free of that. 

We get into the diverse dynamic of our “Flow Group” which gave us such good view points. 

“As a child, I was loved, I was not understood.”  Our parents are just doing the best they know how. 

…His aunt, their growth was not matching, and they get to work on forgiveness.  He has been a pleaser a lot.  He had to stand his ground, it was a big moment for him.  He gets to yell for the first time in his life.  They get to pull away and come back together.   I got to see the pull back, the boundary setting, the this is what’s best for Greg, and then the healing.  And I got to put my own notions aside and grow through watching. 

…”As a kid it didn’t really have to do with sexuality, it had to do with tenderness and things that scare ofter kids…  some kids have other things that aren’t so tender going on in their home… " When there are issues at school; “my dad says to me finally…  my dad looks at me…   you don’t want to go see someone about this?”  As his dad is shaking his head no “you don’t” telling him the answer.  It was a sign of the times, the 70’s.  “They were doing the best they knew how.”

Stuff we have to hide away until later and we are strong enough to handle it… 

The lessons of Rupaul’s Drag Race.  “Don’t you know that what people think of you is none of your damn business!”  What they say is none of your business.  Keep doing your business.

“Mischa, you’re making assumptions and taking things personally.”  

He was still hurting 5 years after an old relationship when me met.  And that provided me solace.  He’s still sometimes going through it. “I’m still here for them, and they don’t want that, and I don’t understand that.”

The one thing I’ve wanted to say today! The one thing that has helped me the most.  The best thing that has helped me with my relationships…  is this question “Do you just need me to listen or do you need me to help you with this?”  It’s been a game changer. “Boundaries”

I cop to missing the point of a comment.  And it turns out I was meant too.  “What do you need from me?”  “Would it be ok if I made a suggestion?”

“What is it that I want to do with this and how do I want to present myself…
