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 HERE TO ORDER Current Schedule and Information |

The Updated "Original" Beach Tape!
It is difficult, at best, to describe in writing theaspects of "Other Than Conscious Communications" and "NoFault" Psychology. The suggestion was made that it might be helpful tomake available an audio tape where I can introduce you to some of thefoundational ideas of both of these concepts. I hope that you find theminteresting, and possibly become curious enough to pursue further learning atone of my semi-annual "Fun-Shops."
You can
" Over the years, people have been using this "induction"as a "self-hypnotic" aid to improve and enhance their enjoyment oflife. This tape is the result of a process that I have been evolving for willover thirty years. It has proven to be an effective helper for many people whohave written or called me to describe how they have successfully used the"Beach Trip."
The latest version of the Beach Tape has the "induction," theconstructed metaphor, is now available on CD's.

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 ourcommunication. As John Grinder is fond of saying, "You can not, notcommunicate". It has also been said that only a small percentage of ourcommunication is verbal, that a far greater aspect of our communication is"non verbal" or “outside of conscious awareness”.
Since the turn of the century, or the beginning tot the industrialrevolution, our society and our schools have focused more and more attention onthe written and spoken word virtually ignoring the aspects of behavior thatresisted codification.
From time to time, there have been efforts to recognize the other aspectsof our communication process, such as appreciation of an animals"territorial imperatives" and "body language", but therefinements of the different "modalities" has been virtually ignoredand even when it is respected through the teachings of"Neuro-lingquistic" structures such as NLP, the overall appreciationof the total communication is not appreciated.
Other Than Conscious Communication is real. It can be consciouslyvalidated, appreciated, and with this appreciation frees the individual to beeven 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 morethan 45 years in Los Angeles and the west coast.
His business background includes: owner and manager of a highlysuccessful executive search firm, and division manager and director of salesfor an international plastics company, with a sales force of over 200 people.
These experiences and his need to find models of communication that workled him to the development of concepts that he calls "Other Than ConsciousCommunication," which is an outgrowth of his model of psychology that hecalls "No Fault Psychology."
Since his move to the San Juan Islands in 1977, he has traveled well overa million miles conducting seminars and trainings throughout North America andEurope, and his concepts which transcend traditional communication andpsychological models have become highly respected tools for personal growthboth in the mental health fields and the corporate community.
"During my 25 years ofexperience teaching psychotherapy to psychiatry residents, I have had theopportunity to witness many different teaching and therapeutic approaches...andthe good fortune to have worked with Dr. Milton Erickson.
Dr. Dobson, who devised his use ofmetaphor and hypnotherapy independently of Dr. Erickson, is strikingly similarin his approach. His sincerity and dedication to effective work...along withthe creativeness of the approaches he has developed in hypnotherapy make thetime with him well spent."

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