This document outlines a counseling model for overcoming addiction based on four essentials: Believe, Understand, Connect, and Imagineer. It discusses treating the underlying causes of addiction like trauma rather than just the symptoms. Healthy individuals have positive self-beliefs, emotional regulation, nurturing self-care, effective relationships, and a sense of purpose. Those in long-term recovery exhibit these same traits. The model aims to integrate clients' positive past experiences with their current recovery experiences, correlating with 12-step principles. It emphasizes transforming shame-based self-beliefs into positive self-beliefs through emotional regulation, trauma treatment, and relationship-building.
This document describes an approach to cognitive therapy called "verbalizing inner dialogue" to address mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. The approach involves identifying different parts of the self (a knowing, confident part and a negative, doubting part) and having the client verbally express the internal dialogue between these parts with guidance from the counselor. Examples are provided for using this technique with different personality disorders by identifying the central negative belief and strengthening the positive, healthy self through questioning and affirmation.

This document summarizes research on the relationship between sexual assault and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It finds that regardless of gender or age, trauma occurs due to sexual assault, and in most cases this leads to PTSD. Studies show that sexual assault survivors are more likely to experience revictimization, increasing their risk of developing PTSD. While more research is still needed on male victims, findings show that sexual abuse increases the risk of PTSD for both women and men. Early intervention and treatment of trauma symptoms could help prevent long-term PTSD in assault survivors. The document concludes that future research should further explore male victimization and develop interventions for child survivors to prevent lasting trauma effects.
This document is Tan Jo Lynn's social psychology journal entry summarizing several key concepts from class.

The document outlines the selling sequence and discusses probing for customer pain points through different types of questions. It also addresses anticipating and handling objections and using testimonials. The overall goal is to understand customer needs and problems in order to effectively present solutions.
Mind masturbation refers to intellectual activity or thinking that serves no practical purpose and is non-productive. It can take the form of useless conversations intended to avoid taking action or circular discussions that decide nothing. Mind masturbation can occur individually through unproductive thinking patterns or collectively in group settings where discussions divert from the topic and prevent decisions from being made. While thinking is an inherently practical activity, mind masturbation wastes mental energy and resources through non-productive or circular thinking rather than accomplishing practical goals or tasks.

Happy was a stray dog rescued by the author and his wife after losing their previous dog Lacey. Through training, Happy learned to follow commands but still had a wild side. While out walking on the beach during bad weather, the author fell and broke his hip and hand. Happy pulled the author to safety and then frantically barked for help. A woman came and called for an ambulance, saving the author's life. The author and Happy continue training together slowly as the author recovers.
Inventory in business defined as “an economic figure that tracks the dollar amount of inventories held by retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers across the nation. Business inventories are essentially the amount of all products available to sell to other businesses and/or the end consumer. When tracked alongside a sales index, production activity in the near term can be predicted.
The document discusses the Personnel Productivity Ratio (PPR), which is the relationship between total payroll costs and gross profit. It provides two examples of how to calculate the PPR for different companies - one with a PPR of 35% and one with 65%. It indicates that a PPR below 55% may mean the payroll is too low and could be increased to boost sales, while a PPR above 55% likely means the payroll costs are too high and changes need to be made to reduce costs and increase profits. The optimal PPR can vary by industry but around 55% generally indicates the high end of the ideal range.
The document discusses how relying too heavily on past experiences and logic can diminish innovation and curiosity in the foodservice equipment and supplies industry. Simply looking at what has worked or not worked before without truly understanding the reasons is conjecture. Conducting thorough post-mortems of past deals and projects to understand what went well and wrong could promote more growth. Taking a defensive pessimism approach that questions all aspects of a scenario can foster realism, positivity, and avoid negativity. No single approach of being only positive, negative, or realistic is sufficient - success requires harnessing different perspectives.
I took much of this article from a Reuters news feed and began thinking. In the world today we are forced into global thinking, despite many countries or people wanting isolationism. It won’t happen.
If Apple had joined the DJIA earlier than March 2015, it would not have impacted DOW very much. Its positive impact would have started being felt after January 2011 but the impact would not have been great. Apple is not the top performing component in DJIA. Goldman Sachs is the top performing one for the past one year (to March 2014). The other top performing stocks are 3M, IBM and Boeing. Apple comes 5th.
Using Average True Range (ATR) with Point and Figure Charting
J. Welles Wilder developed the Average True Range (ATR) indicator to measure volatility over a specific period. The document discusses using ATR with Point and Figure charting to identify potential highs and lows, calculate stop losses, and project price targets. It provides examples analyzing stocks like BKD and BA using this method, noting support/resistance levels and calculating ATR values. The author advocates a 20-day ATR period and 5.53x multiplier for defining stops and projections.
The document discusses using simple moving averages (SMAs) as a leading rather than lagging indicator. It argues that SMAs can help identify support and resistance levels when used with techniques like point and figure charting to reduce noise. The document provides examples showing how SMAs of different time periods overlaid on a chart, along with other indicators like Bollinger Bands, can help traders analyze trends and potential entry and exit points.
1) The document discusses developing a comprehensive financial strategy that combines different investment ideas, practices, and notions into a coordinated plan.
2) It emphasizes regularly reviewing and adjusting the strategy based on economic changes to ensure the strategy's actions and goals remain aligned.
3) The author proposes a "Financial Select" approach that incorporates monthly coaching, regular strategy adjustments, and considering both long-term and short-term factors to develop a holistic financial strategy.
Few can argue that the end user's definition of value has changed, becoming mostly price-centric due to larger operators being owned by private equity or being publicly traded, focusing on shareholder value and lowering costs. As a result, value takes the form of lower costs in the eyes of operators, eroding the value provided by the supply chain through deeply cutting prices and timelines with little supplier input. This recurring cycle of commoditization and channel conflict is hard for the foodservice equipment and supplies industry to break, as stakeholders protect their interests amid a declining margins landscape.
The document outlines the key components of an effective strategy:
1. The overall goal that the strategy aims to achieve.
2. The costs associated in terms of time, money, people, and resources needed to execute the strategy.
3. Potential obstacles that could impact the strategy such as economic conditions, people issues, lack of resources, labor issues, and natural disasters.
4. Developing the strategy involves understanding the desired and undesired outcomes, conducting a SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and accounting for potential obstacles in the planning process.
This document discusses whether "win/win" business relationships are fact or fiction. It argues that true win/win situations are not achievable in real business negotiations due to information asymmetry and differing motivations between parties. At best, negotiations result in a "settle/settle" outcome where both parties perceive they have gained something. The document provides an example scenario to illustrate this point and references studies on information failure and principal-agent problems to support the argument that one party usually gains more than the other due to unequal access to or interpretation of information.
Dr. C.D. Fleet invented Chapstick lip balm in the 1880s in Lynchburg, Virginia. He sold the recipe to John Morton in 1912. Morton and his wife produced Chapstick in their kitchen and founded the successful Morton Manufacturing Corporation. In 1963, A.H. Robins Company bought Chapstick and has produced many flavors and types since. Some key developments include the addition of sun protection in 1981 and squeezable tubes in 1985. Lip balm companies like Chapstick and Blistex generate over $200 million in annual sales in the U.S.
This document discusses "Crush the Box Thinking" and moving beyond limiting ways of thinking. It argues that as children we think creatively without limits, but are taught boundaries that create "boxes". While boundaries have their place, overly rigid boxes prevent innovation. The document provides 11 suggestions for businesses to break out of limiting boxes, such as finding thought constraints, rewarding innovation, and helping people continuously learn new skills. The goal is to think without boxes and color outside the lines to drive business success.
The document discusses the 80/20 strategic tool, also known as Pareto's principle. It explains that the 80/20 tool can help uncover key areas of a business that drive performance objectives, as well as areas that may be underperforming. Specifically, the tool often reveals that a minority of components (e.g. products, customers) account for the majority of impact (e.g. revenue, profit). Making the 80/20 tool a regular practice can help businesses identify factors to build on or reduce, improving efficiency and sustainability. While a simple concept, the 80/20 tool remains an effective method for understanding what creates positive or negative impact within an organization.
This document discusses the debate around immigration to the U.S. It notes that while immigrants have historically contributed to U.S. economic growth and prosperity, the debate has taken different turns as some native-born Americans see immigration as a threat. While most agree some level of immigration is acceptable, there is disagreement around how many and what types of immigrants to allow. The document also outlines some arguments made against immigration and taxes paid by undocumented immigrants. It concludes that the debate is complicated by politics and gerrymandering that reduces incentives for compromise.
Condoms have a long history dating back thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used linen sheaths for disease protection around 1000 BC. Through the centuries, condoms were gradually improved - made of materials like animal intestines, linen, rubber, and eventually latex. Mass production began in the 1800s after the invention of rubber vulcanization. Today condoms are widely used for both disease prevention and birth control, and come in many types and sizes.
Richard D. Wyckoff was a famous trader in the early 20th century known for his analysis of volume, price trends, and sector rotation. He viewed the market as a "composite man" representing total investor behavior. Wyckoff developed principles of supply and demand, effort vs. result, and cause and effect to identify accumulation and distribution patterns. His methods focused on analyzing price and volume trends using bar charts, point and figure charts, and tracking relative sector performance to identify trading opportunities. Wyckoff's teachings emphasized understanding the psychological phases of markets and using indicators like volume and trendlines to recognize accumulation and distribution periods.
The document discusses how a company called The Evans Group used innovation and principles from Sun Tzu's The Art of War to disrupt the market leader Murky Shire. They launched a new company with improved products that were safer, higher quality and 50% cheaper than Murky Shire's. Using tactics like "pulling through" the distribution chain and approaching clients directly, they gained market share. In just a few years they became the #1 producer and sold the company, demonstrating how innovation based on The Art of War can help an underdog defeat an entrenched competitor.
The use of the words “citizen” and “consumer” to many would appear to be synonymous when in actual fact, there are often conflicts between their desires and aspirations that could lead one to believe that these are two different groups of individuals.
The document discusses boundaries for consulting and facilitation. It notes that organization goals and metrics are often not aligned, product requirements are poorly defined and prone to feature creep, and functional silos can emerge with conflicting priorities. It also states that consulting and facilitation boundaries are defined by the hiring contractor, the scope of effort within the organization, the consultant's capabilities, and multiple stakeholders, which all determine the range of influence and success.
This document discusses decision making with uncertainty and outlines several key elements. It begins by examining physical evidence that forms the basis of our belief systems. It then explores how the self interacts with external realities through biological and psychological processes. Finally, it defines systems and outlines how the external self integrates with the internal self and community to determine the best course of action despite complex influences. The overall focus is on understanding how individuals and groups can make effective decisions in an uncertain world.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

As a transpersonal psychologist I use a variety of behavior/personality type testings’ to help me
ascertain the personality scope of the client in advance of beginning training.
Trader #7846 took this test several months ago and my interpretation of the Myers Briggs test is
attached as document INFJ. Please read this document first, as it's his test results that lead to the next
step in thislesson.
Again, read the test results document first. You’ll see how I “scored” the test and the initial results.
Myers Briggs is an exceptionally logical and low bias test that we've gotten licensed approval to slightly
modify. Learn more about Myers Briggs at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator
Note: Myers Briggs is a Jungian based psychological testing and my University of Michigan degrees
(where it originated) were based on an MBA and Ph.D. in Business and Transpersonal Psychology.
Later I received this letter from Trader 7846. My responses to this, and the point of Human Beings Being
Human- A recap on a “Personality Type” - You are what you decide.
“Chip:
Thank-you so much for scoring my Myers-Briggs test and providing me with your evaluation. My
apologies for taking so long to respond to you. 2011 was a very difficult year for me. As I may have
mentioned to you previously, my daughter has emotional and anxiety problems that make it difficult for
her to deal with many everyday life situations. My wife and I have never really received a clear diagnosis
for her. We have been given many opinions from bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and
severe anxiety to no real mental disorders at all. We sent her to a character building boarding school in
Connecticut, where she made tremendous progress. She was accepted to several good colleges and
chose to attend the University of Vermont. My wife and I objected because we believed that the school
was too large and impersonal and that it lacked they type of psychological support system that she
required. Against our better judgment we allowed her to attend. She had an emotional breakdown in
November of 2010, withdrew from college and spent time in in-patient and outpatient therapy trying to
put her life back together. She has gotten back on her feet, enrolled in a small college just a few miles
from our home. And although she has a dorm room she is home quite frequently. As you can imagine,
having to deal with a child with mental disabilities is quite difficult and disruptive because we never
know what to expect on a day-to-day basis. At any rate, my resolution for 2012 is to pick up where I left
off in November of 2010. This brings me back to you and my Myers-Briggs test.
Shame on psychologists, psychiatrists, and the character building. They have given both you and your
wife misconceptions, and made it more difficult for your daughter.
All people have mental disabilities. Dissect this word. An ability is not abled. A disease is lack of ease. This
does NOT mean there is not an ability, nor a lack of ease, merely that the person is “not” at the their
best.

I’m surprised to hear such a lack of diagnosis. Professionals should reach any good psychologist or
psychiatrist, and a second opinion, within two visits. And for anyone to say “no mental disorder” when
the patient is obviously troubled should not be allowed to practice.
Questions:
1. Has or would your daughter take such a test as Myers, and one other?
2. Has or does she use any form of recreational illegal drug, and if so, how long, what, etc.
3. Does she take psychiatric medications; if so, what and what dosages, and are they prescribed by a
psychiatrist (as they should be).
4. How would you and your wife diagnose your daughter? How would youdescribe her
Answers:
1. A smaller school is much smarter. A large school was a bad choice for all. What types of reactions
did she have, and how is she acclimating and liking a smaller school?
2. What are the details of her living arrangements?
3. Does she trust Mom and Dad, or either of you, or think you are “making a big deal out of nothing?”
This child is not disabled. She is suffering pain of some sort emotionally. Real mental health
professionals would use a psychiatrist for diagnosis, and a second opinion, and the psychiatrist for
medication recommendation and monitoring.
A psychologist (Jungian preferred thinking) should be utilized for regular meetings, working with the
psychiatrist.
Again, this child is merely “mentally not at her best”; this does not mean she is unstable, or disabled.
Our society creates these stigmas
I was quite amazed how spot on the analysis was for my personality type. I place a very high value on
education, creative thinking, and personal relationships. And although I place a high value on raw
analysis when making decisions I think that most of my decisions are based upon my intuition or “my
gut”.
Most real decisions come from intuition. Raw analysis and fact we know cannot only be altered, but
interpreted.

I spend a large portion of my income on my son and daughters education. In addition to my BS degree, I
have a MA in International Economics, a JD, and an LL.M in Banking, Corporate and Financial Law. For
me education has always been a journey rather than a ticket for success. I truthfully have never been
one to look to have my children attend the “best schools” but rather the school that was “the best for
them”. In other words, a place that would inspire them to learn and have a life time passion for
learning.
You are being healthy here. My education was done in the same way, as a journey, and your goals for
your children really say “they are not mine, but only mine to love and cherish”. Good attitude.
One of the great aspects of a legal education is the ability to use the law to find creative solutions to
problems or fashion novel ideas and arguments in support or in opposition to legal principal. However,
the legal profession in reality does not embrace or reward the creative mind, because it deviates too far
from the “road most traveled” which is the road that is consistent and risk adverse� In short, the
practice of law can be quite routine. One the things that I enjoy most about trading are the technical
analysis and the challenge of finding profitable trading patterns.
This is of interest as most our clients that are CPA’s, Attorney’s, Judges or “financial analysts) like most
the technical analysis and challenge of “profitable trading patterns”. I teach that bypassing much of
the technical that has already occurred is the key for this type of person. Look for leading indicators, of
which there are few, not lagging. Spend more time using your intuitive side (especially with your
personality type) following “patterns” by using your intuition. It’s this that is my success trading, and
in life. I follow short patterns, question facts, question all authority, and am immediately watching to
see “what others do” so I can inverse react.
At one time in my life I was considered very outgoing. However, when my wife and I began having
difficulties with our daughter starting in 2004, I was amazed at how many friends and even family
members disappeared from my life. My social circle now consists of my wife, a great friend from high
school and my parents. To a great extent I live the majority of my life inside my head. Many of my
meaningful conversations are with myself. In many ways I do not mind this situation. Being alone does
not necessarily mean being lonely. However, the absence of a harmonious family life is a point of
tremendous stress for both my wife and I and consequently, our daughter is almost always the focus of
our attention. This is also a point of frustration and sadness. Every parent wants the best for their
children. Seeing her struggle is painful. And, at the same time my wife and I both want to move on with
our lives.
This is the BIG paragraph in your letter. Comments and questions:
1. Why did family and friends run? What did you do to cause this, or what was the “drama” of
the situation”.
2. What do you and your wife, or did you, disagree on with the daughter, and why is this
daughter (away at school) your obsession?
3. Did either of your attend family or private counseling while your daughter was first having
episodes? If so, ? and if not, ?

Most definitely my decisions about people are intuitive and I am normally correct in my assessment.
Much of how I assess a person is based upon my evaluation of their character, and their treatment and
empathy of others. I served as an Infantry Officer in the Army after graduating from college� I don’t
always agree with the mission that the military is asked to perform. I will however, always have the
utmost respect and gratitude for my brothers and sisters that stand up and selflessly carry out that
mission. Service to others has always been an overriding component of my ideology. I believe that what
we do defines who we are. I try to lead my family by this example. As a family we work with the Ocean
County Family Promise that helps the working poor and homeless families find temporary housing and
get back on their feet. My son and I also work with the Wounded Warrior Project. Other areas of my
decision making tend to be a combination of hard analysis and feelings.
1. You are showing me service and protection, key components and validators of a INFJ type. This
is good for you.
2. What does your wife do for her “life”, “time”, and “health”?
3. Do you both practice a religion? What? And how seriously?
4. Did your children and does the “problem” child now”
5. How is your sex life? How was your sex life 3 years ago?
6. What % of the time do you think your wife is “angry or tired of you”; reverse the question and
answer for yourself?
Reading your assessment felt like a combination of vindication and validation. However, I did notice that
the single mindedness of the INFJ has gotten me into trouble at times. If I am bored with something I
will tend to ignore or procrastinate on doing it, especially if I become deeply involved with another
project that I am passionate about or is important to me.
It should have shown you validation that yes, this is you and vindication to others that yes, this is you.
With vindication comes “okay, so this is me, and maybe I should not be like this??
ADD (Attention deficit disorder) and all the new buzzwords are terrible in terminology and diagnosis. I
also am a very focused and single-minded man. I like working on one project through. My career has,
of course, been the opposite of this so I cannot help being interrupted by my phone going off while
urinating in a bathroom at a airport.
(Most answer, I did not)
I consider this where I use my “Chunking” technique as it is the only way I can trick my mind. I take the
job I do not want to do, that is not my passion, do it during the BEST mental time of the day for me
(early mornings for me) and devote 1 hour of “chunking”. This is all I do. I allocate the number of days
in the period until due, and “chunk” time to the slower project. This approach has kept me on deadline
and allowed me more mental freedom as I progress.

From the perspective of affecting my trading I think that the “analytical and creative thinking”
components of my personality are often at odds with the “intuitive / feeling” components� Often times
my gut says, “trade” even though the analysis says, “Don’t trade” or vice versa� Many times I will have a
trade in mind, know when I should get in, but wait around for some validation, at which point the trade
is gone. I feel that the analytical and the intuitive sides of my personality are often battling to a
stalemate. This is probably the worst condition of all.�action paralysis.
Paralysis by analysis. There is no doubt two sides of your brain are at work, and neither will win. My
solution:
1. I paper trade anytime I am incapable of a decision, and I track how often I am right or wrong?
2. I paper trade a lot, even after trading 36 years now. I like to see what emotions are in play.
3. Play the trade after a two-minute “T” list, showing the pros or cons with real money and
journal your winnings. When you play note what % of A(analytical) of I (Intuitive)
4. Doing this LIVE or on paper shows you when and how often your intuition is right, or wrong.
And it helps you make a final decision.
My goal for myself is to be able to trade full time and teach a few law and economics course at law
school at night. I know that I can achieve this goal if I can overcome the fear of entering into trades on a
consistent basis. I believe in your system and have worked hard to read and understand the P&F charts.
I now need to learn to have faith and act on what I know. How do I make this happen? This where I need
your help Chip.
Many clients, both in consulting and stock trading, reach a point with me where they say “I think I get
it”, but I’m not sure of myself. To be sure, you are my client, (The Evans Group LLC or OEX Options).
Don’t be shy. Email me. We’ll go through step by step. I am going to recommend three books that are
on my Linked In site
Chip LI Web.webloc
Book #1- Please Understand Me: Character & Temperament Types, 5th Edition
Book #2-The Sedona Method by Hale Dwoskin - I consider this one of the best “real life” books
on self-help ever written
Book #3-www.centerpointe.com -This is a tonal based (beta/theta) methodology in which the
patient listens to “music” for 30 minutes at a time that is a type of white noise.
I meditate up to 2 hours per day using this methodology. It comes from studies of types of sound
waves and how easy it is to meditate when “sound lessens” Meditation is emptying the mind.

You are what you decide, as is your wife, and your daughter. The angst with the daughter is creating
too much “drama”. Our next step is to talk through this drama.
