Not too long after I began giving the seminars, this intense young guy named Barry Michaels began to show up with some hesitation. He identified himself as a therapist. Although given the detailed way, he questioned me, he sounded more like a lawyer, whatever he was, he was really smart, but that's not why I answered his questions. I've never been impressed by intellect of credentials. What caught my attention was how enthusiastic he was, how he would go home and use the tools himself. I didn't know if I was imagining it, but I felt as tough. He would be looking for something for a long time and he finally found it. Then he asked me a question. I would never been asked before. I was wondering who told you this stuff, the tools and everything. My training program didn't touch on anything remotely like it. No one taught me. You mean you came up with this yourself? I hesitated. Yeah. Well, not exactly. I didn't know if I should tell him how I really got that information, but he seemed open minded. So I decided to give it a try. It was a somewhat unusual story that began with the very first patients I treated and no one in particular. Tony was a young surgical resident at the hospital where I was resident in psychiatry. Unlike a lot of other sergeants, he wasn't arrogant. In fact, when I first saw him covering near the door of my office, he looked like a trapped rat. When I asked him what was wrong, he answered, I'm afraid of a test. I have to take, he was shaking like the test was in 10 minutes. But it wasn't scheduled for another six months. All tests cured him. And this one, a big one, it was his board certification exam in surgery. I interpreted his history the way I've been trained to. His father had made a fortune in dry cleaning but was a college dropout with a deep feelings of infer on the surface. He wanted his son to become a famous surgeon to gain a vicarious sense of success. But underneath, he was so insecure that he was threatened by the idea of his son surpassing him. Tony was unconsciously terrified to succeed. For this reason, his father would see him as a rival and retaliate failing his exams was his way of keeping himself safe. At least that was what I've been trained to believe.
