Mental toughness coach trains tennis team from the neck up - Maryville, MO - Maryville Daily Forum
Snip: Conner said the reason football, baseball and basketball players attend the academy isn't so much to brush up on their tennis skills as to engage in a relatively new aspect of athletics training — mental conditioning. Unsnip

Rethinking Sensitivies- Are the anxious oblivious?

Posted on December 22, 2011 at 5:45am 2 Comments

FYI-
Snip: 
ScienceDaily (Dec. 20, 2011) — Anxious people have long been classified as "hypersensitive" -- they're thought to be more fearful and feel threatened more easily than their counterparts. But new research from Tel Aviv University shows that the anxious may not be hypersensitive at all -- in fact, they may not be sensitive enough.

HI Michael,

It's a honour to get a friends request from you. I first heard about you in about 95 when a fellow hypnotherapist lent me a tape of a lecture that you did at the ABH on AIDS. It really changed my way of thinking!

best wishes

Barry

Thanks for the Kahn Academy reference site.  I teach statistics and he has some really good stuff (videos) that I can use to enhance my teaching.

Thanks for the correction on Mesmer. I've changed the script. The video will just have to be wrong. That was a major production with a new friend who is a TV producer.

It was cool hearing that you were going to be on an Oracle Broadcasting radio show.  I used to promote that network a few years ago when they were Truth Net Radio.

Michael:

We are moving dad out of the nursing home and taking him back home.  He didn't show any improvement from the therapies (OT, speech, and PT).  The nursing home environment was "too busy" for him.  He tires easily, and sleeps a lot.  He'll get more love and better care at home. 

Alonzo
