  1. Self-hypnosis, autosuggestion, can be very useful in self-control techniques. For instance, a post-hypnotic suggestion to "relax" can be programmed to be triggered by a word or phrase you utter. The disruption caused by sudden full-body muscle relaxation, even to a minor degree, weakens the prevailing emotional state, perhaps enough to regain greater control--even, "the upper hand". "Trance induction" is the centerpiece of the practice of self-hypnosis, and relies on full-body relaxation being a somewhat accomplished skill. The process is methodical: resting horizontally...breathe easily...starting with one foot, tense the muscle(s) for a few seconds, then relax those foot muscles completely...the relaxation is a "feeling" to remember...Do the same with the other foot, and so on up the body to the neck...and head (relaxing the head muscles is kinda weird feeling; head and neck together is simpler...I still have a hard time tensing the skull muscles--doing they even exist, I don't know). It can take 30 minutes to completely relax the body musculature in this process--and 30 days before you can manage to STAY AWAKE! But once accomplished, this is the hypnotic trance state. The first thing to do is instantiate a post-hypnotic suggestion to instantly induce this trance state, usually upon thinking a trigger word/phrase of your design. The trance state, itself? Well, it's all you really need to enable you to do what you want to do with yourself.

  2. jeez...what a ridiculous mess! Can you get licensed elsewhere, Jordan?! If they don't cancel your degree(s)!? If this unjustified action against you is consistent with settled Canadian law, you're screwed. Unless...there's a history of the board's investigatory behavior that your case's treatment greatly deviates from.

  3. "There are millions of people dedicated to following me, hanging on my every word. It might be wise for you, the board, to take some care how you treat me. Perhaps 10% of my most dedicated million followers comprises a formidable activist army--that's 10000 devoted soldiers of my message. And we know where you live!" haahahaha...take a page out of antifa's playbook!

  4. Does the Canadian "constitution", or document of founding principle, allow it to be a communist government? The US constitution guarantees a republican form of government, to every state, as a matter of fact. I would hope Canada has a statement of founding principle floating around, somewhere...

  5. I confess to not understanding the relationship between the Canadian government and the College of Psychologists of Ontario. But...every license I've ever had has remained the property of the issuer, subject to surrender upon request. So, I'm thinking Jordan's license belongs to the College, and, so, the College has the privilege of recalling the license at any time. If the College board is appointed by the government, as Jordan seems to say, then it's the government that's responding to a risk it perceives in Jordan's actions. Is the risk to government itself, or to the people served by government? Ostensibly, the latter, but actually the former, I suspect.

  6. A scientist is a person who researches to advance knowledge in an area of the natural sciences--wikipedia. I'd loosen the definition even more to a person who diligently applies the scientific method to his approach to life. I wonder...from a clinical psychologist's point of view, what does it mean that capricious charges are being levied?
