Backward8 Protocol for
Handling Your Stress From Suddenly Getting
So Much Attention – Since You Came Out As A Girl

Here you will use the Backward8 procedure for gradually weakening,
and clearing out the intensity from your feelings of stress!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DO THIS FIRST:
Make a list of every feeling of stress you have
...now that you're suddenly getting so much attention – since you came out as a girl.

Don't be afraid to add something to the list if it feels stressful to you.

Please try to be as specific as possible. And just remember....
THERE ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS!!!

Start each statement in your list with the letter – I

I've given you several good examples so you will know exactly what you need to do. You are welcome to use these stressful examples in your list, and add more of your own. These examples are offered to help REMIND you of many different types of common stressful issues.
You SHOULD STILL work through all of these examples even if they do not directly apply to your own situation.

Also, wherever you see a blank spot in a phrase, such as __________, please fill in the blank your own appropriate response – if possible (and if it is applicable).

What causes me to feel stress from getting so much attention – since I came out
to everyone that I am really a girl?

I often feel stressed out when people expect so much from me,

I feel like ________ do not accept me as a girl,

I worry about losing my privacy,

I often feel anxious about _______,

I often feel anxious about the _______,

I feel so anxious about ________ when it comes to _______,

I keep getting called ________ since I came out as a trans-girl,

I keep getting bullied on _______ since I started living as a girl,

I worry about the becoming overwhelmed by all of this attention I'm getting,

I feel so overwhelmed by _______,

I feel like all of this attention is just too much for me, right now,

I feel like the whole world is against me now, just because I am an out-trans-girl,

I often feel like I don't measure up to other girls because _______,

I feel worried that the other girls will not want me using the girl's locker room,

I often feel like I'm not good enough, because _______,

I keep doubting my ability to ________,

I don't feel confident in myself as a girl when it comes to ________,

I don't know if I am good enough to ________ as a girl,

I just don't know if I can ________ as a girl,

I don't think I am smart enough to _________,

I feel like such a big loser, because ________,

I feel like I just want to die,

I don't feel like I deserve to be successful at ________,

I don't feel worthy of having good things like ________ in my life,

Please add more of your own stressful examples to this list.

Note:

Whenever you clear out the anxious intensity from the negative aspects of an issue, it can be extremely helpful if you replace that negative issue with an empowering, positive CHOICE statement (a Backward8 Power-Phrase).

And, there is nothing more empowering than making a definitive choice to do something. That is why this next step gives you a positive-choice affirmation immediately following the removal of a negative issue using the special anxiety-clearing exercises in this Backward8 course.

PLUS, this step will help to make it a permanent habit for you to automatically LINK a positive thought to any negative issue, so that whenever something negative happens to you, a positive thought will immediately and automatically pop into your mind – instead of a negative thought!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DO THIS SECOND:

Create Your Backward8 Power-Phrases...

Write "Even though" in front of each of your statements, and
add 87654321 after your statements.

Then, add the following words to the end of your statement:
"I CHOOSE to completely love and accept myself as a girl!"

For example:

If your statement was...
"I feel so stressed since I came out to everybody that I am a girl."

Your new statement would then become:

"Even though I feel so stressed since I came out to everybody that I am a girl,
87654321
I CHOOSE to completely love and accept myself as a girl!"

Do that for every issue statement in your list from above.

You are welcome to modify the positive choice Power-Phrases so they are more applicable
to your own specific needs. Just make sure every statement is positive, personal, and in the present tense
(as though it is already happening now).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DO THIS THIRD:

Perform Your Backward8 Procedure

Remember, this works the same way as anything else, the more counting repetitions you do,
the better your results will be! So...KEEP COUNTING!

Procedure
Select a statement from your list above, and mentally visualize (imagine) yourself
feeling the stressful intensity that you WOULD feel if you were actually experiencing
that right now, then repeat each of your complete statements as you have written
them out (including counting backward from 8)!
Keep repeating this process for each issue until you no longer feel any intensity from the issue!

You will gain positive results for some issues much faster than you will for other issues.
So, be patient, and your results will come for you.
Backward8 is a process, NOT an event!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE...
It is very common for other thoughts or emotions to pop into your mind while you are counting.
While you're doing the exercises, you will likely discover all kinds of new, unrealized thoughts
and emotions that may have been buried deep within your subconscious mind for years...
possibly even since your early childhood.

If, at anytime, while you're working through any of the exercises in this Backward8 course,
you notice any other negative thoughts or stressful emotions popping up, even if they do not directly
apply to the particular exercise you're working on at the moment, then you should write them down,
and take some extra time to clear all of those negative issues, as soon as possible! It's THOSE
negative thoughts and emotions that will get in your way as you go forward in your life!
