Hahaha! Well I’d say you surely found yourself! Especially if you actually completed them all!!
I bought the bug out bag and the octagon of you too and when I became a barfly I was sure I’d get to create my branding and then I landed on the creating a logo and digital software playlist and I was like… Uuuuuuh NO. I cannot do this myself. She makes it look so easy but none of it was easy and I wanted so badly to have my branding—I knew I needed professional help. HER professional help! I was just afraid I wouldn’t get access to her because she was a genius at her craft. I imagined she would charge an astronomical amount for her 1:1 help so when I searched on her sites and found Dre for a Day, I screamed!! 😂 The rest is history. 🫶
Dre, Actually, this inner team you describe is even bigger—I’d say mine today has the full complement of a football team (not soccer!). And while I appreciate the idea of identifying these parts, I’ve learned on my own journey that it’s not so straightforward. For some of us who have experienced deep trauma, where toxic shame or a “corrupt double” self has taken over, there may not be a "you" accessible at all. I lived in this state for more than 40 years, and I can say from experience: all these parts can be hijacked by that corrupt double. In that case, you might swear all you want, but it’s the false self doing the swearing, with fingers crossed behind the back. It turns around, and it’s gone.
For those of us in this place, personality traits don’t reach the true self; instead, they become roles performed by the corrupt self. A disclaimer could be helpful here—this approach may not work for everyone, especially those with deeply rooted trauma. Reclaiming these parts and reaching the real self can be a more layered process, but recognizing that is a powerful step. Thanks, Dre, for putting this out there and sparking such a critical conversation.
I hear you -- I was lost in crippling self hate because of deep trauma + lived with toxic shame until my early 40's. This is an exercise that helps me understand what thoughts are mine + what I inherited. I've found personality to be a direct route back to my true self, but I respect that it doesn't resonant with your healing journey. Understanding all the parts of me (a.k.a traits) - both the ones I took on + the ones I've suppressed - has freed me from a lifetime of self hate.
You're absolutely right, everything about us humans is layered! An exercise like this is just a tool that helps some of us dig through those layers.
Dre, thank you for sharing your experience so openly. I appreciate your perspective on how identifying and understanding these traits helped reconnect you with your true self. It’s powerful to see how exploring these layers has freed you from self-hate and brought clarity about what’s truly yours versus what was inherited. Healing journeys can be so varied, and it’s clear this approach has been transformative for you. Your insights on working with these parts as tools resonate—each of us has unique paths, and it’s inspiring to witness yours. Warmly, Jay
I agree—this is both enriching and uplifting, despite the heavy topic. Living somewhat socially isolated in Germany, finding a community here that connects over themes close to my heart has eased the weight of loneliness that creeps in from time to time.
“I find that tracing shit back to when, where, and even who I picked up a lie from helps me see it for the BS it is, in record time.”
Yes 🙌 this is one of the most important parts of this process. In hypnotherapy sessions, once they are in the deepest relaxation phase, I will tell the person that their brains are miraculous and that all their memories can be accessed right now. I continue by asking the person to go back to a time in which they felt (whatever the issue is) and almost immediately they will go back to a childhood experience. I may do this a few time more depending on what comes up and when they realize the earliest moment they experienced (whatever the issue is) they recognize the belief was created by a child’s mind and we move to reconcile the belief and furthermore, practice other exercises to heal wounds that may have been created due to the belief or to detach the feelings/pain with understanding and compassion. Without rambling on…The process is very powerful because as you said, it’s reaching the root of the belief AND if I use your terminology—it’s reaching the root of the belief and using the adult Visionary Self to reframe the belief, discredit the belief and use that “knowing self” to course correct moving forward.
I’d love to see what everyone’s results are! I’d enjoy reading those dossiers to get a bit more insight on each of you! I took the test when I first came across your work, Dre. It’s what made me identify as a kindred.
Holy fascinating!! I've never heard some explain hypnotherapy in those terms, which made total sense to me.
It's kinda crazy how aligned our work is (in areas) even though we're coming from two very different angles, with very different credentials + specialities.
Gurl... the convos that are going to be had around that bonfire in PR. 🥰 I'm NOT gonna wanna leave.
I say this every time I read your work or newsletters. Those convos right?! 🫶
I enjoy observing and experiencing psychological work from “different angles” as I always see the common denominator and love that we speak different languages and use different tools but work to accomplish the same results. And each healing another layer of self. Its complementary. It’s integrative healing at its finest.😉
My only experience in hypnotherapy was quite discouraging 😞.
I was having intense nightmares, and when I went under...a professional who was a good friend of our family and a man I highly respected (my best friends father)....
When I came to, my mom looked seriously stressed, but Carl looked horrified.
He told me lovingly that he just couldn't handle going into my brain again.
...I'll leave the story right there.
However, I have been doing sessions with something called "Emotion Code"?
One of the most wonderful, healing experiences I've had in my life.
First time though,I walked around the house for 3 days, as if I'd lost something and I felt like a huge scoop of my brain was missing...BUT I was calm...I felt safe...and I wasn't looking over my shoulder.
I’m sorry your hypnotherapy experience was not a pleasant one. The hypnotherapy I practice doesn’t involve losing time or consciousness. You’ll remember everything, and you’ll have complete control throughout the session. The purpose of hypnotherapy is to relax you into alpha, theta, or delta brain waves—states associated with deep relaxation and heightened receptivity to positive change. Good work and meaningful transformation can occur even in alpha, so if you enter a deeper state like theta, I would never need you to go further.
In sessions, we work on beliefs and seek to change mental patterns that may have served you in childhood but no longer serve you as an adult. In these relaxed states, memories as far back as in utero can sometimes surface. I’ve had clients recall the experience of being inside their mother’s womb or overhearing conversations directed at their mother. However, further relaxation into delta brain waves —into past lives, for example, is unnecessary for most issues.
During sessions, we access specific memories that arise in response to questions about the root cause of your concern. I guide you to “watch” these memories on a mental screen, where you can observe them objectively rather than relive them. This is a crucial distinction—memories are never intended to be relived. If darker memories appear, you’ll be conscious and may feel an emotional release, but you won’t be re-experiencing the events directly. We aren’t recalling memories just to recall them; instead, we work to make sense of why your brain is bringing these memories up now. I help you draw connections between past experiences and the beliefs they’ve created, which may be affecting your current life. From there, we move on to the therapeutic process which includes reframing and transformation among other exercises—again depending on what comes up.
I practice this process delicately as it’s a highly structured and precise process, using various tools with great care. I take the role of guiding you through gently, even with delicate or intense memories, ensuring your experience remains positive and grounded. At the end of our session, I also record the transformation segment, which you can listen to nightly for three weeks to reinforce the effects through neuroplasticity.
If you typically have difficulty relaxing, I measure your level of relaxation before we even begin hypnosis. If needed, I can work with you on relaxation techniques before your session. My practice of hypnotherapy is purposeful, technical, and careful, guiding you step by step to deeper insights and transformations. I don’t just throw you into the deep water without helping you wade in first.
As for your experience with Emotion Code therapy, I’m glad it was helpful. Our bodies do hold onto emotions, and specific parts often store specific emotions, much like somatic therapy. Another tool I will use depending on what the presenting problem is. Have you found this therapy to have helped your “challenge” long term?
What if you ran a special where everyone who upgrades to your yearly plan gets one of these sessions? Or maybe that’s the founding member level. Or a one-time offer. This sounds fucking EPIC!!!
For sure! I’m kinda craving a “money making” brainstorming session, where we talk about ideas for experimenting with the work we love doing. I’m thinking through this right now too!!
The emotion code has been a blessing and allowed me to heal and cure for a heart wall causing health issues.
Funny thing is, I am extremely good at relaxing. My "challenge" has been my own mind, which has a habit of taking painful experiences and creating nightmares.
Carl told me that when he walked me through my nightmares to help me confront AND overcome what was plaguing me...scared HIM so badly, he wasn't willing to do that again.
I don't remember anything, but my mom was white as a sheet.
It will never stop blowing my mind how INCREDIBLE our brain is. There’s so much stored in it that we don’t even know. I could get lost in that existential crisis for a year.
I found something strange when I first got married...as my wife brings out a lovely calm in me. She's water to my raging lava...
These nightmares would get so intense, I went without sleep for I don't know how long...then I read something, somewhere, from an artist--some painter, and I don't remember the name...
He said he was able to 'dislodge' (I think that was the word he used) the nightmares from his mind by painting it. Then he would lock the painting up and never look at it again.
His nightmares would stop.
Thought that was SO odd, I wondered if it would work for me?
...so I drew these nightmares, in full, gross and painful details.
The nightmares stopped.
Honestly.
I thought it was so cool, I took the pictures and tore them to sheds so I didn't have them around anymore...and the nightmares came back!
There is a hidden portfolio, deep in my family storage.
It holds my greatest fears, terrors, and I have protected that container for 30+ years now.
...haven't had a single nightmare on those subjects since. Not once.
Don't know how or why it works...and I don't care.
What I DO care about...is having that destroyed the day I die.
The thought of my beloved children or grandchildren opening that container and seeing the things that plagued my mind...
That is fucking FASCINATING!!! I'm so glad that worked for you!! Who the hell cares why it works. I don't question what works.
I totally understand what you mean about your loved ones seeing those.
I'm so afraid of someone finding my darkest thoughts that I won't write, paint, or document of any kind mine... for fear someone would find them and I would have to relive it.
In the times when they come up or when I need to get them out... I write in a blank doc... NOOOO editing or grammar or anything, just the thoughts that are eating me alive... then I delete it all and close Evernote.
I'm so grateful for my therapist. I unload on her and it has made all the difference. We're 3 years in to weekly sessions... I can't tell you how nice it is to say things out loud.
Your journey with The Emotion Code sounds incredible! I can see how deeply healing it’s been for you—especially in clearing that heart wall and finding relief from the health issues it was causing. That’s powerful work. I’m happy to hear it!
And I completely understand the challenge of a mind that processes pain through intense dreams or even nightmares. Our minds create their own language to make sense of the difficult experiences we’ve lived. The fact that Carl walked you through confronting those nightmares is impressive—and how fascinating (and even a bit spooky!) that even he was taken aback by it! You must have a truly powerful mind and a deep reservoir of resilience to handle those moments, even if you don’t remember them. I wonder if they were past life experiences/memories or things that occurred when you were a child. Either way, I’m glad you were able to get the energy out of your body/head and onto paper. A very powerful exercise is energy transference and it seems like that’s what you have locked up in your attic. A good “Espiritista” would know how to navigate that situation.
My previous response was just to shine a light that when it comes to working with me via hypnotherapy, I keep everything very controlled and gentle, and I work with clients to ensure they feel grounded and safe throughout. Every session is focused on staying within their comfort zone, with gentle steps to address anything that comes up, and always with tools to help relax them if things feel intense. Doesn’t mean I haven’t had some really intense sessions—the hardest part of my job is not absorbing their energy so much that I too break down. I had a colleague suggest to pinch myself hard whenever the tears felt like they were coming. Pinch myself a few times if I had to. I obliged and it works but there was one client, pinching did not work. Some things in life are just really hard to hear or fathom its existence.
It sounds like you’ve come such a long way already though. Thank you for sharing this!
Oh, wow.
Dre...now I know for certain why you and I are kindred.
WHY I get you...what you MEAN, regardless of what you say...
When you listed the Outlaw and Girl Next Door lists, mine we the same.
Exact same.
Well,....I'm the GUY next door, but ya know,...DUH.
Always wonder why we couldn't have met 10-15 years ago?
OR zoomed before last Wednesday [laughing].
AH WELL.
So happy to have what we have now...
Love you tons.
It's like cheat codes, right?!
I don't know WHY we didn't realize we had this years ago... but I have to believe the Universe just didn't think we were ready.
I'm certain that we're ready NOW! 🦄 Kindreds for life!!!
I have been happy more consistently since that meeting...and I have a WONderful life with family and friends.
...but knowing you and the other ladies are out there. That I have people who 'get' me and understand what I'm trying to accomplish for families?
Priceless.
Kindreds for life =D
It really is priceless!!! 🫶
Is that what your test revealed, Jaime? Outlaw and Boy Next Door? Or are you going by her lists in this newsletter?
I've done the "Octagon of You", "Branding Bug Out Bag", "Brand Identity Fitting Room", and "Words With Personality"...
...can you tell how badly I was trying to find myself?
LOL
Can you tell how much work I did to find myself?? 🤣 These are all born from my own process of self discovery.
Hahaha! Well I’d say you surely found yourself! Especially if you actually completed them all!!
I bought the bug out bag and the octagon of you too and when I became a barfly I was sure I’d get to create my branding and then I landed on the creating a logo and digital software playlist and I was like… Uuuuuuh NO.

I’m hugging you so hard!! I’m so grateful the universe brought us together. And NOW, we get to do it all again, but this time it’s ALLLL YOU!! 🥰🥳💃🏽
Yes 🙌 looking forward to feeling 100% authentic—aligned with the branding. Hugging you so hard right back!! 🥰
I did this test years ago....then did it again, and looked up my old results....I AM THE SAME!!
...which now makes sense of the comments I get:
"If you're ANYthing, Jaime, you are conSISTENT..."
[*clears throat*] ...and I prefer 'Guy' or 'Man' Next Door, thank YOU.
(wink)
Consistency is easy when you're able to just be yourself! That's the magic of all this ooey-gooey work.
I did it a few times too and it remained the same. Magician and Innocent. And you got it! Guy next door it is! 🤣
Dre, this is the freaking best!! I’m going to work on mine today 😁
YAY!!! Let me know how it goes... here or in our DM! I live for these AHA's!!! 💃🏽

Hehe...she just called me 'magical'...
Oh, stop being humble. You knew that!
Hahahahaha.
