Home of the Original BEACH-TAPEŠ..Order Your Copy
Here! There was a moment where it didn't look like I would finish this trip. My heart decided to stage a "lay-down" strike. Thanks to Barbara, Mick and Eddie her grandsons together with Tama and Scott, a good friend. I was ushered to the hospital and was given the opportunity to re-negotiate the strike. My physical situation is improving and that is what will determine
what I do in
the future. I am currently seeing private clients. Barbara Stepp, my
life partner is the one to contact for more information. Set 1: "Hypnosis" and the Business
of Belief Systems, and Set 2: "Hypnosis" and its
foundation, Other Than Conscious Communication & No Fault Psychology
These sets are available now CLICK

The Updated "Original" Beach Tape!
It is difficult, at best, to describe in writing the aspects of "Other Than Conscious Communications" and "No Fault" Psychology. The suggestion was made that it might be helpful to make available an audio tape where I can introduce you to some of the foundational ideas of both of these concepts. I hope that you find them interesting, and possibly become curious enough to pursue further learning at one of my semi-annual "Fun-Shops."
You can order the original "Beach Tape now on a CD, here.
" Over the years, people have been using this "induction" as a "self-hypnotic" aid to improve and enhance their enjoyment of life. This tape is the result of a process that I have been evolving for will over thirty years. It has proven to be an effective helper for many people who have written or called me to describe how they have successfully used the "Beach Trip."
The latest version of the Beach Tape has the "induction," the
constructed metaphor, is now available on CD's.
Would you like information on how
to order ?
Hope to hear from you soon! Enjoy!

What is OTHER THAN CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION ?
The name, "Other Than Conscious Communications"
says it all !
Literally, every thing we do, the way we do it, constitutes our
communication. As John Grinder is fond of saying, "You can not, not
communicate". It has also been said that only a small percentage of our
communication is verbal, that a far greater aspect of our communication is
"non verbal" or “outside of conscious awareness”. I prefer referring to this aspect as
"other than conscious". (This should not be surprising in view of the
myriad tasks that our mind controls daily like coordinating our muscles for
walking, remembering how to tie our shoes, etc. all outside of our conscious
awareness, we are just able to do these things without having to think about
them).
Since the turn of the century, or the beginning tot the industrial
revolution, our society and our schools have focused more and more attention on
the written and spoken word virtually ignoring the aspects of behavior that
resisted codification.
From time to time, there have been efforts to recognize the other aspects
of our communication process, such as appreciation of an animals
"territorial imperatives" and "body language", but the
refinements of the different "modalities" has been virtually ignored
and even when it is respected through the teachings of
"Neuro-lingquistic" structures such as NLP, the overall appreciation
of the total communication is not appreciated.
Other Than Conscious Communication is real. It can be consciously
validated, appreciated, and with this appreciation frees the individual to be
even more courteous at both the conscious and other than conscious levels of communication.
David R. Dobson, Ph.D.
Dave comes from a background that includes both business,
a private practice of Clinical Hypnotherapy, and psychotherapy that spans more
than 45 years in Los Angeles and the west coast.
His business background includes: owner and manager of a highly
successful executive search firm, and division manager and director of sales
for an international plastics company, with a sales force of over 200 people.
These experiences and his need to find models of communication that work
led him to the development of concepts that he calls "Other Than Conscious
Communication," which is an outgrowth of his model of psychology that he
calls "No Fault Psychology."
Since his move to the San Juan Islands in 1977, he has traveled well over
a million miles conducting seminars and trainings throughout North America and
Europe, and his concepts which transcend traditional communication and
psychological models have become highly respected tools for personal growth
both in the mental health fields and the corporate community.
"During my 25 years of
experience teaching psychotherapy to psychiatry residents, I have had the
opportunity to witness many different teaching and therapeutic approaches...and
the good fortune to have worked with Dr. Milton Erickson.
Dr. Dobson, who devised his use of
metaphor and hypnotherapy independently of Dr. Erickson, is strikingly similar
in his approach. His sincerity and dedication to effective work...along with
the creativeness of the approaches he has developed in hypnotherapy make the
time with him well spent."

Professor, Tulane University
Why does he call them
"Fun-Shops"?
It is Dave's contention that "learning should be
FUN, not work!"
Once upon a time, we all found learning a fun-filled experience. This
program takes up where our amateur parents, school systems and society left
off. It is truly a continuing education program for everyone. (Please refer to
the comments of previous students below on this page).
What People Who Have Attended Are Saying
"There are more ways to utilize
and benefit from Dave’s work than people have begun to dream of. The increased
personal capacity for handling difficult situations with poise , grace (whoever
she is) and humor is a delight in itself. But that pales into insignificance
compared to the joy of playing with your own mind. You might like to see how I
utilize Dave's stuff when handling large complex messy social and technical
problems - if so click here at www.TooSerious.com
but if you want a laugh go to the joke tree".

"The special gift of a Dave
Dobson Funshop is that I attended it in 1987 and its value still keeps on
showing up in my life no matter what the endeavor. It was an investment of time
and tuition that keeps on paying dividends."
Mark Thomas
Fredonia, N.Y.
"If you have ever felt that
there are times when you are your own worst enemy, this work/fun-shop gives you
the way to stop your foot before you put it in your mouth...this (material) is
not for therapists, social workers, carpenters nor any other professions...
IT'S FOR YOU AS A PERSON."
Michael Swords

"I can truthfully say this
experience has changed my life forever! I wholeheartedly recommend (it) to
anyone interested in improving their communication skills both professionally
and socially."
