If you feel embarrassed to be seen with, or are ashamed of your transgender sibling
in any way, those negative feelings can have an extremely detrimental effect on your
overall relationship. Therefore, clearing out your feelings of embarrassment or shame,
now, can make a profound difference in your entire family's unity!




Here You Will Use This Backward8 Exercise for
Clearing Out Any Embarrassment Or Shame You Might
Feel Over Your Brother Changing His Gender...

Completing this exercise can help you feel
dramatically better about yourself and your life!




DO THIS FIRST:
Make a list of every negative emotion you feel about your brother changing his gender
that causes you any embarrassment or shame...

Don't be afraid to add something to the list if it feels embarrassing 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 embarrassment or shame about my brother becoming a female (or that I have felt in the past)?

I often feel _______ at ______ for putting me through this embarrassment,

I feel so shamed by my
brother for doing this,

I feel upset with ________ for shaming our family in this way,

I feel so embarrassed just being seen in public places with _______,

I feel so embarrassed by ________ needing to live as a girl,

I feel like I did something wrong to cause this,

I often feel like I should have shown more love and attention to _______,

I feel like I caused ________ need to become a girl,

I often feel so embarrassed to be seen with my cross-dressing
brother in public,

I worry what the neighbors and relatives will think about _______,

I often get a strong feeling of tension whenever somebody sees ______ and I together,

I feel so hurt when people give me grief about ________,

I don't feel confident in myself and my abilities when it comes to supporting my _______,

I often feel _______ whenever I tell somebody that _______ wants to become a female,

I just don't know if I can shake this overwhelming ________,

I feel like I am not strong enough to get over this shame from ________,

I really feel so embarrassed when ________ wears those loud high heels in the mall,

I feel like such a complete fool for ________,

I feel like I am not worthy of having good things like ________ in my life,

I feel ashamed because everybody must think of ________ as a freak,

I feel so ashamed for not supporting _______ from the beginning,

I still feel some of this remaining shame from ________,

I still feel some of this remaining embarrassment from ________,

I still feel some of this remaining betrayal from ________,

I still feel some of this remaining hurt from ________,

Please add more examples of your own feelings of embarrassment and shame 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 forgive myself for feeling this way, and I accept HER at all times!"

For example:

If your statement was...
"
I feel embarrassed to be seen with my cross-dressed brother."

Your new statement would then become:

"Even though I feel embarrassed to be seen with my cross-dressed brother,
87654321
I CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I accept HER at all times!"


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.
Backward
8 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
Backward
8 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!
