Using the Symbols

We are currently in the process of putting the contents of the Workbook for Cutting the Ties That Bind here since it is currently not being published. (You may wish to try some used book sellers. Internet sites such as: www.abebooks.com; www.amazon.com; www.bn.com plus others; do a Google search on the title of the book you are interested in.) To see other learning aids available, click Cutting the Ties Materials.

The exercises have been compiled as an aid for those who wish to use the method presented in the two books Cutting the Ties That Bind and Cutting More Ties That Bind. It acts as an adjunct to the two books by outlining the various techniques in a simplified step-by-step form which makes it very clear and easy for anyone to follow. They are suitable for individuals to use alone or with a partner, in groups as well as for therapists working with clients.

The exercises break up the various techniques into simple steps through which freedom can be attained. However, in order to achieve such freedom, it is essential for each person to be willing to devote a regular, though not necessarily large amount of time and energy to practice them. Regular practice is absolutely necessary for lasting results to be assured, just as with any other learning process. Practice, perseverance and patience are required to impress the subconscious mind with any new message before it can begin to act upon it.

The underscored links are the exercises described so far.
