TNR Happenings March 11, 2019
SuperAcademy is here!
There's a great group attending. Everyone will be pulled out of their comfort zones. This is the only time Super Academy will be offered this year! You still have time to get in on the action! This is the event that pairs your communication skills to your clinical abilities. Without communication skills, great clinical skills are wasted. DCs outside this program continue to search for substitutes for being able to communicate something above and beyond adult, musculoskeletal pain. Pain relief is not health!
Practice tip of the week
Take regular vacations and long weekends. It’s too easy to get in a rut and be confined to your office, home, kids' activities, etc. Looking forward to these getaways all year long keeps the mystery and adventure of your practice and life alive. Your creativity gets stunted and practice sometimes can feel like a grind, so don’t be afraid of closing up the office. If you have a TNR style community, your practice members will want you to take regular vacations. These should include vacations with your family and vacations with just you and your spouse. Taking these vacations will keep your energy at optimal levels. Don’t get sucked into the concept of “stay-cation.” It’s a scarcity mindset.
From the mind of Miyagi
I recently was on a video conference with a pro hockey player from Europe, care of Marc Hagel. He is an athlete with a closed head injury at the end of his career. His case is not in the ‘red zone’ and a TNR-grade DC would turn his life around. When I told him that a qualified DC would surely get him through this, he said he is already seeing the team DC and it’s not helping. Right then and there it hit me: there is such a HUGE difference between a specialist and a generalist.
If you are in practice as a specialist under the generalist moniker you are in for a whole lot of frustration. You can’t appeal to all people, just as TNR doesn’t appeal to all DCs. Most of your day will be spent answering rhetorical questions over and over, instead of helping people. When I told him about the different ability levels via the league he is playing in vs. the NHL or the Russian League, his face lit up. Ohhhh, so all DCs are not alike? Just like all hockey players aren’t alike. He is now on the road to locating a DC who will see him through this loss of health. Specialists did not get that way by accident: it's a function of their training, their connection to people, and a never say die attitude.
DCME news
There is such a natural tendency to omit the at-home 21-Day DCME Video Program. You know, don’t have 2 levels of recommendations or buy a few programs for a few patients and then slack off. This resistance is completely invisible to you and happens automatically because of your previous Chiropractic programming. Here are the hidden triggers that create resistance: no insurance coverage, premium fee, my adjustment should do all the work, creating relationships of trust trigger an emotional response. Whenever something creates an emotional response, most people simply stop doing it, deny it, forget about it, etc. To reprogram your subconscious programming, you have to override your previous programming or it never changes. Like weight loss, if you can override the previous programming, you soon find yourself shrinking.
The accumulated layers of emotional baggage prevent the overall expression of life in the body. Not only will the pain be slow to heal, but true health also will not be forthcoming. These accumulated emotional layers of injury block (like an umbrella to the sun) the inner perfection from expressing. TNR members are the only ones in our profession using these tools. They are not for sale outside TNR. The practice members that utilize this tool will be the foundation for the practice of your dreams.
LHNC news
I will be flying to the Reservation in April to start planning for the 2019 Boot Camp/Fun Days. These will be our biggest Fun Days to date. Last week Kenny Smoker told me that the Poplar boy’s basketball team qualified for the state tournament for the first time since 1985. Of note, Kenny Smoker was a state basketball champion way back in the day. Now his son, Kenny, is on the team. Remember the synthetic basketball court we installed a few years back in Poplar? The kids use the court a lot. Little things over time help to create big things.
DCME confidential
Question 1: At events and through TNR chatter, I have heard about some of the unbelievable clinical results, but I have never had a practice member for anything except adult musculoskeletal pain and kids for colic and ear infections, etc. What am I doing wrong?
Answer: Jump into the icy water with both feet! All TNR members work up to difficult cases. People with horrible illness will not camp out at your office and demand care. You work up to it. Communicate more effectively with practice members. You need to make sure you are supporting your belief systems by doing lots of TNR reading, attending TNR events, and havening Head-to-Heads. Clinically, make sure you have regular Health Awareness Seminars and use the Baseline Assessments and Concentric Circles.
Question 2: One of my patients is an autistic 11-year old boy that is slow to show clinical results. What do I do?
Answer: Too many times we buy into the ‘collective consciousness’ influence of society as to what can and can’t be done. When you burn your tongue on a pizza, the skin will heal in a few days. Damage the ligaments or cartilage in your knees and it's a few months. They are both healing at their maximum rates. Let the parents know you are in it for the long haul and it takes time to see improvements. Some parents become victims for life when they get the bad news, like a medical diagnosis, and others search for doctors who can help these forgotten children.

LOVE HAS NO COLOR DONATION
Today at LHNC headquarters we received an anonymous donation with a challenge attached!! This donor sent a $2,000 check and wants to challenge other LHNC donors to MATCH this amount. How awesome would it be if we could kick off Boot Camp fundraising with this challenge for donations? The Crowdrise page will be made shortly and you can begin sharing with friends, family, and your communities, as well as make a team for fundraising.
