Bren B commented on Susan French's blog post 'Happy Thanksgiving Day to all who celebrate this holiday (or did I hear myself say "Bah-Humbug?"...read on'
Halloween used to be about children dressing up and going around the block to the neighbors to say "Trick or Treat" to collect candy. When did it become the second biggest commercial holiday, with elaborate adult parties? Thanksgiving has…

Bren B commented on Susan French's blog post 'BULLSHIT. Is it? Or is it not? (a lengthy commentary)'
Susan, interesting thoughts. Some people's "bullshit" may be more like mental lifeboats, the fictions they need to believe in order for their psyche to survive if their ship is on fire, sinking, or under attack. It's better to…

Nattering Nabobs of Negativity

William Saffire's coinage of former US Vice President Spiro Agnew's saying seems to fit my friend, whom I will call "Jan," to a T. Ok, sure, she had an abusive childhood and was out on the street fending for herself by her late teens. But, she managed to get herself through Vasser and later worked with high-level government contractors.Sure, as a chief technology officer she has taken some pretty big career hits after the dot-coms became dot-gones. But, she still managed to buy a house in Texas…See More

"I think between song lyrics, cartoons, and comic strips, I have all the insight into life that I need...lol." Amazing amounts of wisdom get conveyed in lyrics and cartoons--and amazing amounts of misinformation. All of it slips right…

LMAO. James, thanks for the correction and additional info. That is by far one of my favorite of all lines. Thank goodness I'm not the only one here that's old enough to remember Pogo. I wonder where you could find old comics like those?…

James Hazlerig commented on Bren B's blog post '"We have met the enemy, and it is us." Pogo'
Walt Kelly had a wonderful insight when he penned that line, which I think originally read, "We have met the enemy, and he is us." It's a variant of a message sent by a victorious captain in the War of 1812, who reported, "We…

"We have met the enemy, and it is us." Pogo

The Pogo quote in the post title is, to me, the essence of why hypnosis is necessary. Can you think of one client situation where it does not apply? Don't we all want to "do the right thing," or at least want to want it? If we were able to "Just Do It" like the Nike slogan says, we wouldn't need hypnosis. We wouldn't smoke; we would lose weight; we wouldn't be restrained by irrational fears; we would pursue our life ambitions single-mindedly. But, there seems to be a committee at work in our…See More

Hi Bren, In essence this is quite a common story. When people 'come out', whether it be as a Transexual, transvestite, gay, conservative.... or whatever. People are often much more accepting than hey feared. We project onto the…

Bren B replied to Jon Rhodes's discussion 'Hypnosis Doesn't Work'
This sounds like someone who is covering their intellectual inadequacies with an air of certainty. They make no reference to any studies, they just act like they are THE authority. If you threaten their security by piercing their air of certainty,…

My poetry

I write poetry. Actually, it's more like something impregnates my mind with a "Slam, bam, thank you m'am"...and I'm left with this pregnant idea growing in my head that won't go away. Sometimes I ignore them for awhile, until kicking me from inside, I labor to get them out on paper.

Read my poetry, and you will get a peek into my inner self. But, be warned. Most of them stick to you, digging into your thoughts like Pacific Foxtail panicles that stick in your socks from a casual walk through a field. Every one of them are children of emotional encounters. Some were painful. Some were quite pleasurable. Know my children. Know me.

Surprised by Acceptance

Posted on July 6, 2009 at 10:15pm 5 Comments

As a transsexual, fear of what someone may think is sometimes worse than the reality. Sometimes a person you feared surprises you with acceptance. Such was the case recently with an office colleague. I still go to the regional office and work most of the time dressed as a man, even though many of my colleagues already know about my situation. However, I feared the reaction by one of my colleagues because I knew that her father had been a minister. You see, I generalized to her my past traumatic… Continue

Overcoming Mental Mountains

Posted on April 30, 2009 at 2:37pm 3 Comments

I'm 53 years old and started gender transition in earnest when I was 47. Some might ask, why did you wait so long if this was something you felt seriously about? Have you ever lived in a valley surrounded by mountains? Some people live their whole life in their little village and never go over the mountains. At an early age, about 7, I knew I really belonged in the female village, but back then, there wasn't even a road built between the villages through the mountains. A few explorers found… Continue
