Here are the show notes:

  • This is how we do it! This is how we do it downtown!
  • Mike is doing the keynote at the Canadian Hypnosis Conference
  • We actually edited out an important announcement because it’s not public yet, and we don’t want to be the ones to spill the beans.  Stay tuned for episode 112.
  • Check out the May training because the price is going up on January 1st 2019…
  • Chris is allergy free! Hoorah!
  • Nonna in the UK did an amazing allergy cure! Don’t try this at home, folks!
  • Mike is wasp-safe now. Thanks William Wood!
  • The Dinner Guest Question…Who is on your list?
  • The Ultimate Hypnosis Starter Kit!

The Think Tank Word of the Day:  Missionary

  • Are toxic people parasites? Not necessarily!
  • Passive Aggressives! Everyone is passive aggressive sometimes…”I thought you meant…”
  • Watch out for internal unexpressed anger…it can lead to PA behaviour.
  • Covert Aggressives go even further. They’ll work against you!
  • Unmask Snipers! Flush them into the open!
  • Basement People drag you down, Balcony People lift you up!
  • Bullies! Intimidation is nasty.
  • Mockers! They make you look stupid in front of a group…

A word from our Sponsor

  • Downers! Their very demeanour can bring you down. Sometimes you have to disconnect!
  • Control Freaks aren’t necessarily toxic. People control in 9 different ways…
  • Control of being able to be in control? (Nice one, Chris!)
  • Networkers! They only want your friendship to get something from you…They’re takers!
  • Emotional Overloaders! They overwhelm you with their emotions!
  • Targets – Shlemiel or Shemozzle?
  • Projectionists! They see their stuff on you…It’s part of the Jungian Shadow…
  • Flatterers! No sincerity in what they say…
  • Narcissists bomb with love! Then they get control of you…so beware…

Empowering Questions: Ask yourself: In what ways am I toxic to others, and what will I do today to change my behaviour, to become who I need to be?

Empowering Metafive: The Orange Lights in the Sky

Ending: Henry Squatter, Secret Agent!
