Have you ever gotten frustrated by the slow pace of your transitioning results?
Or, have you experienced any setbacks in your transitioning progress?
This Backward8 exercise is designed to help you weaken those frustrations?

Backward8 Protocol for
Clearing Out Your Stress Over Getting Slow Transitioning Results
& Setbacks In Your Progress

DO THIS FIRST:
Make a list of every emotional frustration you feel from dealing with slow results,
or setbacks in your transitioning progress.

Don't be afraid to add something to the list if it feels frustrating 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 makes me feel upset or frustrated from getting slow results,
or experiencing setbacks in my transitioning progress?

I just cannot seem to get the results from my transitioning that I want,

I keep seeing a lack of progress with my ______,

I can't believe this is taking so long for my breasts and hips to grow,

I get so frustrated that STILL I can't _______ as a girl whenever I want to,

I feel so darn frustrated when I don't see ______ from my female hormones,

I feel so frustrated over still having such a huge _______,

I get so frustrated with trying to hide my _______,

I feel so frustrated over being so _______,

I feel so irritated over being _______,

I WAS making great progress with my hormones, but then ______ happened,

I keep making these same mistakes when I _______,

I STILL get so upset when somebody calls me _______,

I feel so upset whenever somebody laughs at me as a _______,

I get so upset when somebody ridicules me,

I feels like no matter how hard I work at it, my _______ just won't feminize,

I get so frustrated because my breasts are STILL NOT growing,

I just wish my body would feminize much faster than it is,

I wish my body would just start to look more like a girl's body,

I THOUGHT my body would start to look more _______ than this by now,

I really wish my face would clear up,

I wish my skin would get smooth and feminine,

I always feel so mad when I embarrass myself in front of others,

I feel so hurt when _______ does ______ to me,

I always get so frustrated at my doctor for not increasing my hormone dosage,

I got so angry when my doctor reduced my hormone dosage,

I get so desperate for breast growth that I want to start self-medicating,

I really hate having to wear _______ because my female hormones won't kick in,

I hate it when my hormone progress plateaus, and nothing happens for months,

I still can't believe I had to stop taking hormones because ______,

I really DON'T want to tell my doctor about ______,

I get so mad that I want to kill myself, because of ______,

I still feel some of this remaining anger and frustration from ______,

Please add more of your own feelings of anger and frustration 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 patient, and remember that changes take time!"

For example:

If your statement was...
"I get so frustrated when I don't see the feminizing results I am expecting."

Your new statement would then become:

"Even though I get so frustrated when I don't see the feminizing results I am expecting,
87654321
I CHOOSE to be patient, and remember that changes take time!"

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!
