I am asking for your assistance....in an experiment to assit my learning I have just completed a week long seminar, with the main component being NLP ( Neuro Linguistic Programming - Science of the Mind), Hypnosis, Communication, Strategies and Reframing I am currently studying for the next level, part of the training is about Reframing (altering perception) and the use of story telling via language patterns and metaphors - to elicit different responses. One of the things myself and the other people attending the seminars talked about was Chinese whispers and how people respond to part information and how they respond to all the information... This is were you come in...if you would like to.. you can read the story below..and if you chose.. post your reply...I am asking for your honest optinion..about what I have writen , feeling, use of language ..whatever..all feed back will be appreciated Please remember this is only about me learning something new and finding the best way for me to be able to incorporat it into my life below is the first part..

Wow. Ryu was obviously holding in a lot of hurt. It sometimes takes a life changing event to allow such feelings to come out. Losing a lot of weight would definitely fit the bill. But there had to be more to it to create that kind of hatred. They had to have been teasing him about his weight, or outright being mean about it. Again, Wow.

Wow...my initial reaction was surprise- Ryu is holding onto a lot of bitterness! He's usually so laid back. Is he brainwashed by Galactor or something?

I am thinking something bad has happened to the entire team to cause these life altering reactions and feelings opposite of the reaction/actions they would normally have. Or something has happened to make Ryu SEE the rest of the team in this light.

THANK YOU ALL!!!!! FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND GUIDANCE!!! I will post the full story in a separate thread and I would love to hear your comments! once again thank you this is helping me a great deal LW a.k.a D-M
