Apologies if there is a thread on this already...

For any trained new coders out there what have been your most surprising succeses? I was thinking specifically 6 step reframe, unconscious signals and new code games.
My best to date goes like this. A friend had a headache for three weeks. I tried to get her to get her own unconscious signals but every time she tried to get them she twitched. She has had this twitch for about 10 years. It happens anywhere - especially bad in people's company which has caused her to be alone many times to avoid embarrassment - going home early,leaving parties, going to bed early, not sleeping properly because it would keep her awake. It stumped me at the time because the signals couldn't be distinguished from twitchy "noise"
At this point I took a lead role and asked her unconscious to withhold the twitch so we could establish the signals. It did!! We got them, did the six step reframe and her headache disappeared - for good. Better than that her twitch has reduced at least 80% and when it does raise its head she asks her unconscious to stop it which it does. She had been to see a neurologist years ago who told her she had a chemical imbalance and nothing could be done - ha!!
Ps. I have been playing guitar hero drums and was wondering if this could be considered a nifty new code game for some. It uses right arm, left arm, both feet tap together for the bass drum. It is very visual because you need to watch when to hit pads and very auditory because you need to listen to the rhythm. When I have played it it feels similar to the effect of the nasa game. Dunno what do people think?

Hi Alistair

Well done with your friend. Out of curiosity what made you choose 6 step
(N step) as opposed to the Dr. Within suggestion?

The game sounds fun, is it scalable and does it involve some aspect of confusion?

I do not remember a clear explanation of it and it is not in the manual either. game is scalable but not easy to pick up and it does involve confusion to an extent as when you hit the pads is not necessarily what comes "natural" from the beat. Drummers find it difficult at first. My intention for talking about that was to see if i'm on the right thinking lines for games. I would also love to know what results people are getting with these approaches...

Hi Alistair
you might be on the right lines,but not having played the game myself I don't know for sure.
Do you get into a high performance state? that's the clue

The Dr. Within is not in the "book", John normally demonstrates it with anyone on the course who is experiencing physical pain.

Hi Alistair, I've used new code with business clients, sports people, people looking for personal interventions and on myself. I've used N-step and new code games. I've made a few mistakes along the way with a couple of instances where I've had to correct what I've done. These were through errors in my application rather than short comings of new code, but it's pretty easy to spot if something hasn't delivered.

It's been interesting taking new code into a business environment. I've worked with some people who have got stuck in very negative states and used new code to create great changes. I've also learned that the clients perception further down the line is not necessarily a reliable indicator of success. Sometimes the perception of the problem shifts so that after an intervention the intensity of the problem is perceived to have been much less than it was reported (and demonstrated) to be at the time of the problem. This makes perfect sense, but appears to be amplified with my business clients for some reason. Some of whom I've worked with for six years or more.

With myself I tend to use a very casual version of N-Step. Too casual in some instances as I've got into trouble being too lax with my language. But on the whole dialogue with the unconscious is a great tool.

Thanks for the replies, I couldn't really get my head around new code at first but i'm finding it increasingly interesting and I pretty sure I can see who's been trained in new code by the style of peoples writings on here - the language seems cleaner

Hi Alistair

I think the 'clean language' people might have something to say about that
My own experience of New Code was far from complete after my original exposure to it. Looking back in hindsight I saw that there was a path of learning experiences which added up for my 'light bulb' moment.
I think its like that for many people. Learning happens in recursive loops,
and you never know when the loop is going to come full circle. The best bit is keeping the loops open, as soon as you say I've got it, you can be sure that you have temporarily shut a loop down
