Ever have someone tell you to "think positive" and it grated on you and you didn't know why? Or ever go into using affirmations and it felt like you were lying to yourself?

She also goes into explaining the Neural Cognizance Training formula and how her clinic works with clients in creating choice thoughts over affirmations and why.
