Ep.62-Speech to Print Flaws with Lyn Stone

The One About-Speech to Print Flaws with Lyn Stone
Quotes:
“I’m not saying you’re in a cult, but if you call yourself a ‘Brand Name’ practitioner/school/trainer, there’s a bit of a problem. And that problem occurs when your method is touted as the method to end all methods. That problem occurs when the only tool in your toolbox is fairly blunt, and when you’re expressly forbidden to use ‘outside’ tools even though you know you should.”
“They identify so closely with the brand, that they become blind to its flaws and instead turn in on themselves when the flaws become apparent.”
