  • Renee George , Age 40 , Hartford, CT - Mom, Full time Student

    I did the Basic in February, 2008. I had heard about the Training through my mother-in-law Joyce George. She had just finished doing the Basic in Colorado with her Daughter and Son. She went on and on about it and how it wasn’t like anything she had ever experienced. The reason I was intrigued is because my mother-in-law was a trained life coach and had been to dozens of trainings over the years. She said this one was different. I signed up for the course because I was curious and I had no fear because I told myself that I didn’t have any REAL problems.

    During the training my eyes were really opened. I learned a lot! What I got about myself is that I grew up in a controlling environment. My father had a strong presence and I did what I was told. My Mother is on the quiet side, however, she was also controlling with liking what she liked and being very particular about things. Hence, I am controlling. I also learned hat I am an enabler. This affected my children because I enable them, I didn’t want to do the hard work of parenting. I was taking the easy way out by fixing everything. Life is not like that. If I didn’t let them learn from consequences they would not survive in this world some day on their own. This was very difficult for me to get. I have made so many personal improvements. I have seen such incredible changes within my family dynamics. I am very proud of the results I have created and continue to do the work everyday. The rewards are priceless.

    Before Basic I was convinced I had control of my world. As evidence that this was not the case, I signed up for the course because someone told me I should. I had no intentionality about it. During the course, I wanted to get it, to understand it master it. I spent most of the weekend trying to figure things out. After the course, I got that I had not been in control of my life; it had been controlling me, much like a leaf going down a stream. Basic gave me the insight to retake control over my choices.

  • Thomas Campbell ,Age 80 - PhD Psychotherapist

    Prior to the Basic I was concerned about negotiating the transition from my workaholic pace of 60 plus hours per week (in which for me for me the most beautiful work I could ever hope to do) to a retirement with the top priority of reduced my work week from 90 plus to 60 plus hours over the last 30 years. I was far from confident, however, that I could break my addiction to work, and I was even less confident that I would be able to be an enjoyable companion to those closest to me. My lifelong depressive disorder had taken a terrible toll on my family and friendships, and I had finally responded to medicine after I had unsuccessfully struggled through many kinds of therapy. Would I ever be able to leave that past behind and create a normal life.

    As my daughter and son-in-law returned from their TMD Basic, I saw changes in each of them and in their relationship which inspired and encouraged me to seek the Basic for myself. I wanted what they had; they were generating the kind of sharing which I had always hoped to develop in our family. A sharing that would be disarmingly open, honest, self revelatory, caring, and productive of amazing growth, closeness and joy. The Basic did not disappointment me. I wish I could say that I created the impossible dreams and followed them, but, in reality, becoming a part of TMD thru the Basic, I found myself behaving in new ways, in the ways of the TMD Community. And now I am becoming free to dream the impossible dreams for new relationships to my family and friends, and, with my new family, to design the plans and goals and means for making those dreams come true, Now I can hope, with confidence, and even expect, from my creation, new dimensions of health, openness, joy and companionship with family and friends in retirement.

  • Sherry George , Age 41 , Charlotte, NC -Mom, Wife Extraordinary

    Before the Basic training I was totally unaware of what was driving my words, thoughts, actions and emotions. I had convinced myself that everything in my life was great! I was a mom that had a loving husband, three great kids, and an extended family that liked to get together for holidays and vacations. The truth was I was living in an unconscious world, oblivious to those around me. I was delusional and had convinced myself that everything was working.

    My husband did the training first, after he came back, I saw he was on such a high and he said I had to do it because it would change our lives together. The Basic training itself was a powerful experience. I was amazed at what I was witnessing in seeing people transform their mental state of being. I was able to see how I had designed my life from a perspective that wasn’t working, and had unconsciously created my life myself. I saw an opportunity to create a different, more rewarding future. Three TMD classes later I am still an avid TMD participant! The positive results I am getting now are the direct product of continuing to be involved with the program, using the tools and practicing with family members, other graduates and with the world around me.

    I have more choices now in my life that I didn’t have before. TMD has been transformational for me…

  • Aaron Ridgeway ,Age 42 , Takapuna, NZ -Self Employed

    Before TMD training I was not aware of the way others read or perceived me and not the “mask” that I wear to portrait myself, i.e. “I did not know what I did not know about myself”. By working with my partner on the course, I was able to have my character “labeled” for recognition by myself, which allowed me to better understand how my programming was running me to create my reality. To more consciously be aware of my programming, the limitations that I have adopted due to my “mother son connection” and the patterns that present consistently in my relationships, has been a valuable experience which has assisted me to better observe my behavior and choices since then, allowing for greater freedom of choice in any given situation. When I ask myself “Is this really what I want to do / say, or is it my programming taking me in the direction that it always has and will continue to do, if I don’t stop and feel this through a bit more before I act”?

  • Derek Hansen ,Age 38 , Santa Cruz, CA -Self Employed

    My experience was one of excited challenge. I created breakthroughs in my concept of self in relationship in the world and with others. The training was the first time that I became totally present to my ability to choose not only my response as well as my intention. I was accepted the key to freedom, love and joy. This was the beginning of me creating and living the life of my dreams. Now I am motivated not by fear, insecurity or defense of ego but by the empowerment and improvement of the lives of others, the bi-product of this intention is prosperity and abundance. I am in total gratitude. I feel complete and accountable in my word.

  • Eileen Hansen ,Age 55 , Santa Cruz, CA -Self Employed

    Before the Let experience I was experiencing a great deal of stress in my personal and professional life. Stress is defined as "the inability to control the outcome of a situation". The more intense the situations became, the more I attempted to control the outcome and was unsuccessful, deepening my stress level. During the basic training much of what was said aligned with my mental understanding of life and how it worked. Then when it came to me on an experiential level, wow, was I exposed! I became resistant to seeing the side of myself that was holding me back in my life, but through the loving confrontation of those in the training, a breakthrough occurred. After the basic training, I was able to reflect on my reactions to life situations and release my need for control. I was able to tap in to acceptance and self-love. I became aware that I can create the life that I choose by aligning my choices through integrity. My relationships with my family have become intimate and loving even when working together in our business. Our business has more than doubled in size and prosperity since the Let training, I am sure that a lot of this is due to my exposure to Let.

  • Kimberly Soltysik ,Age 34 , Rocky Point, NY -Nurse

    My experience before basic was constant anxiety in my relationships, with where I was living, with my work. I was angry and frustrated with my life. I was not comfortable with who I was. I would not show my true self around certain people because I wanted to have them like me. I was able to see how all that fear and anxiety was stopping me from having the life I wanted and that I actually had the power to change that. Having the power to recognize that was amazing. Learning that my past does not get to control my present was so exciting. I left with a new set of tools and so excited to start living. I am enjoying life on a whole new level. Even though my shit shows up for me all the time I get to decide if I am going to let the shit choose for me or if I AM going to choose. And when I choose I get results, when shit chooses I get shit. So I love that I can get that now.

  • Lisa Hunting ,Age 42,Charlotte, NC - Self Employed

    Before training I was pretty highly stressed, which I could not control. During training, Peter expertly piqued my stress reaction and helped me to identify the patterns that I go to to create it. Once my eyes were opened, it became easier to react to them. I would not say my results are profound – yet! – but certainly I am calmer and more understanding of myself more of the time.

  • Joe George ,Age 43, Charlotte, NC -Business Consultant

    Prior to participating in the basic training I felt numb and emotionally unavailable to myself and the people in my life. I did what I thought was a good job of keeping up appearances as an easy going, generous, and loving husband, father, and friend, but the truth was I was always in survival mode; anxious, thinking and worrying about the outcome of the future while feeling guilty about the past. My experience in the training room immediately challenged my fears and insecurities. I was working so hard to keep up with the information and instructions that I (quietly) found myself in full panic. I watched and heard others participate and share about what was happening in their lives, and see that they have similar struggles and fears that I have, I then began to feel less scared. I began to cry, and laugh, and started to see that I had been suppressing so many of my emotions to keep up my appearances. I felt I got back a part of my life through gaining access to emotions. After the basic I see that I have a greater ability to access and accept my feelings, and express them to others- notably my wife and my kids, and co-workers. I have become more confrontational with people and stay in conversations to resolve conflicts and issues that prior to the attending the Basic I would have let build or keep unresolved. The training helped me to see and accept my passive/aggressive behavior that has me repress my anger/joy/disappointment. I struggled to get to talking about my experience rather than reporting. And my program was right next to me trying to tell me I was not sharing transformation. Not being transformed. And then I said, just write what comes to you
