Attention Shifting, LLC

Introduction: Michael J. Emery uses NLP and Hypnosis to focus upon changing conditioned responses - think Pavlov's dog. The bell rings and the dog salivates. Everyone has unconscious reactions to their environments: the way a loved one looks at you, hearing your boss's voice, seeing an email from someone important, these examples all create a specific response that either causes you to feel good or bad in your body. How you feel almost always determines your actions and outcomes in specific situations. What most people do not realize is that they are in control of those reactions, and they can create a response that benefits them. This is called state management in the field of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). What separates highly successful people in any field from those who are not considered successful, is the individual's ability to manage his or her emotions, mindset, and actions in a seemingly unpredictable environment. Salespeople can learn how to overcome cold call reluctance and as a result earn more money. People in a relationship can learn how to rekindle the passion even though it seems to have dwindled over time. On the other hand, people wanting to get out of limiting relationships can learn how to break those attachments that have been holding them back. Someone needing to lose weight or make health improvements can learn how to avoid unhealthy foods, and in it's place, create cravings for healthy food and exercise. You can learn how to control your inner dialogue (self talk), manage the internal imagery (mental pictures and movies) that seem to play automatically, and grab a hold of your emotions and the feelings in your body so that you feel great about yourself and what you're doing with your life. Ultimately, my approach to personal development coaching results in you becoming aware of the ways that your body is processing the information that comes in through your five senses, and how this information is filtered to create meaning which results in your response to it. You will learn how the various ways you represent this information to yourself diminishes or increases your perceptions of an experience so that you can take control of yourself in any situation. Michael J. Emery has a masters degree from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and a bachelors degree in marketing and advertising from Portland State University.
