My name is demario and my wife and I have a divorce in the making she got a lawyer she ready to move on we been together for 13 yrs Not all the yrs was bad but I made it worst even if she leave I still need to work on me because we have a son with autism and I can see the pain I cause here in here eyes and being around her she doesn't smile anymore

[@ThonThon007]

My wife and I have been separated for 2 months now. She moved out with our 1 year old 300 miles across the state. When she left she told me she wants a DIVORCE. Since then I’ve been internally shifting and untethering and honing on antithetical viewpoints since we’ve been apart. We’ve met up 2 times and spent the day as a family, all the while I created emotional safety and psychological safety like she’s never seen before…GUYS this girl talked and talked and talked and I listened and asked questions…fast forward to now. Now SHE TEXTS ME FIRST asks me how MY day was, how I slept… ITS BECAUSE OF UNTETHERING AND INTERNAL SHIFTING GUYS! I’ll be joining the program as soon as I humanly can! ❤

[@JimRickenbaugh60]

Geoffrey, I’m coming up on three years of listening and studying and working your program. (Joined Jan 22) Everytime I listen to one of these videos I am AMAZED still at how much I learn when I listen to what you say and use the principles thinking you taught me. These internal shifts have changed my life, and coincidentally 😉 saved my marriage. Thanks for your iterations and your mentorship! Signed, a satisfied customer.

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

Really happy for you! It has been my absolute pleasure to work with clients like you :) And, let's not forget...you're the one that keeps doing the work, my guy! You EARNED your outcomes! For anyone curious about James's story, make sure to watch his interview here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqS0p3eKg8mja80

[@Nuez234]

I watched his story yesterday and picked up a lot I was missing. Happy for you James.

[@fasin9424]

I'll always be grateful for videos like this from Geoffrey. I'm a college student and i barely go thru each day. enrolling into his program is something i can't afford rn. So just engaging with the content to give back. I'm truly amazed by the knowledge you have. This is content gold

[@vincentcaudo-engelmann9057]

I’ve never listened to a KZbin video twice - let alone an hour long one. I’ll look forward to a total third rewatch. When are you coming out with a book? Would be a great product direction for the biz.

[@leta8796]

Geoffrey, As a memory scientist, I believe this is revolutionary. Your insights are truly life-changing. Can we say untethering is about falling in love with the RIGHT intentions and actions and surrendering the outcomes? High Intentions, High Actions, Low Attachment. Intentions are about developing (or being) the best version of myself related to the specific area I'm working on. Actions are doing the right actions, every time independently of the outcome

[@jb.8629]

Just signed up for the master class. I am legitimately excited to learn. U have helped me so much

[@StevoSparta-tt5vu]

Untethering is essentially going from a place of NEED to a place of WANT. Once that is done you will not be outcome oriented, and can have a healthy focus on getting back to being the best you. I started reading, hanging out with friends more on healthy environments, exercise, writing, positive discussions with other parties, etc. This helped alleviate stress, and get my mind off the “what is she doing” long enough to integrate new self growth habits into my life.

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

I want you to think about something... If you had an upcoming job interview, what would be the BEST way to THRIVE through it? Would exercising or spending time with family guarantee you land that job offer, even after it reduced your anxiety? If not, then what will guarantee you that job offer? What would be the BEST processes for you to focus on? See why it's important to identify the RIGHT processes to tether to? In the next video, I will discuss exactly HOW to untether. Stay tuned!

[@StevoSparta-tt5vu]

I see what you mean. See below and take a moment to respond if you can. Preparing for the interview. Study the company, practice interview questions, etc would not guarantee but best prepare you. My first focus when it all went down was to dig deep and learn why I was angry. It was tears, regret, and feelings of discomfort but it worked! My thing is I don’t want to tether onto relationship improvement but onto skillsets that help better me as a person even if it’s just within myself. I think the time I spend with people has allowed me to turn the conceptual into experiential. That to me was the right tether as my days have genuinely happier. I have made real connections, at work, and been able to completely recover the relationship with my daughter, my mother, and my friends. As for my wife. She prods me. Pokes at me. Honestly G, I feel as if I need to start just having open conversation with her in the right moments just like I have with others

[@StevoSparta-tt5vu]

Okay; to study the job description, company, and of course practice interviewing. Answer the below if you can G. So I used to be angry, saw your SOC and literally can observe the tiniest frustration now and turn it positive. Haven’t road raged in two months. No arguments with family and friends but plenty of healthy disagreement. I feel great. Here is the issue. I don’t argue with the wife anymore, and she even commented on it. we have clear discussions and heck she smiles and grabs my hand at times or will engage in some of her worries with me. Then withdraws. I am unsure of what it is that’s missing but I feel something is missing and I feel it is the leadership. She has told me to do a few tasks lately which she never does and then kinda withdrew. Of course I did them as they were normal financials 😂 but she doesn’t know that yet. Thoughts?

[@StevoSparta-tt5vu]

Oh and I use my named parties to practice my conceptual knowledge so yes I think they are a good tether for things such as listening skills, reiterating, and summarizing ones thoughts

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

@@StevoSparta-tt5vu You destroyed the 5 pillars over years or decades, and you are confused why it is not re-created after a few weeks? Further - this is where deep mastery of frameworks is a must. The pros know how to turn those negative passive resistances into massive opportunities. We actually just had a 2 hour group call where we showed our clients how natural and powerful the frameworks can be. But remember - this is not a game you can “gamify” and manipulate. This is about allowing your partner to feel REAL feelings for you. Your partner is not a robot or a pet - she is a complex human with complex emotions just like you :)

[@worldwideredsshow73]

I definitely have been untethering wrong in my situation. I’ve worked more on detaching but truthfully I do want my marriage to be saved and I don’t want divorce. I’ve been married 24 years and have 3 kids. I recognize my role in where I am at and I am working on changing. It’s just very difficult and I get nervous I’m going about this all wrong.

[@rovientruiz9876]

I’m so grateful to have found this channel. It has been a lot of help and eye-opener. I have taken the MasterClass twice and listen to KZbin videos everyday like music, on my way to work and from work even during my shift. Im trying to pick up as much info daily because I can definitely feel Geoffrey’s process being the one and only to teach the absolute best mindset to acquire. I had my first interview with Jason last week to get in the program and will try again soon. I have the funds ready and I’m so eager to start but I will not rush the process. Thank you for all the knowledge Geoffrey!

[@Lorden350]

Grate way of breaking down how we as tethered persons thinks and operate. I can see clearly how I’m missing the middle grounds and grey areas.

[@BradyNielsen]

I’ve been watching the playlist. I’m sold, and ready to do the work… I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford the course, though. Looking at what folks are saying on Reddit, it’s way outside of my budget. I’ll keep on trucking with the KZbin content, though. Thank you for your help.

I have been applying the principles since last 15 days and i am already feeling myself in better place .. Thanks Geoffrey.. Looking forward to your next video... Also a deep dive on 7 frameworks will be helpful

Great video Geoffrey. Could you please do a long form video about the process of becoming bulletproof

[@biersmorgen6609]

I had a great time with my wife the other night been doing better, find myself getting pushed away I had a chance to build but I broke a bit, I have to be ok with minimal contact and just loving her from a distance in each instance.... definitely trying to find middle ground and respecting her hopefully temporary boundaries, I definitely keep saying mean things in anger when she expresses herself. I have not shifted completely yet because of desires and jealousy of her attention. I need help to change my perception of the reality of her not wearing her ring, and just trusting that she wants to work on herself before we can really have this thriving relationship.....I feel so stupid and less of a man at times.

[@ThonThon007]

Don’t worry just keep calm ALL THE TIME. Remember the biggest change in her behavior towards you will happen when she sees that YOU are changing

[@HoodieTrades-om3vd]

I been out of relationships for like 6+ years trying to improve myself in some basic ways. I like your content because now that I'm looking for a relationship that leads to marriage I see myself making some of these mistakes really early on in a new relationship. I want to avoid these issues instead of repairing a relationship gone wrong. So my parter doesn't have these confirmation biases or a long history of seeing me fail to listen to her. But I'm new to not being a fk boy. I wish you would make some content to help us avoid these issues, even though I know I'm not your target market specifically.

[@vincentcaudo-engelmann9057]

How do you personally fall in love with the process?

[@Johnjohn-187]

Hey Geoffrey. I’ve been improving my internal shifts as each day goes by and my perspective on life and situations are definitely changing. Untethering right now is what I’m honing down on. I’m separated now for 9 months and my wife still only just want to talk only when it comes down to our dog and our property. I know I fall into urgency illusion at times but I cant help but feel like I’m just waiting. Here is my question. Is my approach now literally just waiting until she wants to talk/communicate with me and then through that contact I show her my changes? Like you say, focus on the process until she gives you the opportunity to perform? Is this right? Or am I avoiding the difficult conversation by not asking if she would like to catch up sometime ? I’m a little bit confused

[@flash12319]

Can you make a video on what the daily routine should look like for your students? Daily auto suggestions Daily frameworks Mindfulness etc.

[@ahmedshah5922]

Not in the program but I think it’s really personalized for each client by themselves it’s not one shoe fits all so it would be kind of a tricky video to make

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

There are DPPs that take incremental time. This for me is: - 4 stages of building BPV (autosuggestions) - framework DPPs But there are many other “lifestyle based” DPPs I do that do not take additional incremental time, but simple a change in what I already do. - SOC - Anti thinking - becoming self programming - dopamine redirection for untethering - expanding band of operation and unjamming self - raising lowest tides of existence and standards. And a few more. I have all my clients adopt the same as well. I only teach what I do and have mastered myself.

Really trying to take in the recent series, huge thanks for your work sharing the wealth of knowledge. I definitely lose myself amidst tethers, and I recognized that my motivation in dire periods has been tethered to how things are currently going-one of the big pivots I’m picking up from this is that focus on the ACTUAL motivation might help me remain in the middle as desired. For instance, do I do XYZ for the desired outcome, or because it’s the right thing to do? Curious of your thoughts

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

Solid question! I like that you are thinking ahead about the HOW. Guess what? :) That is EXACTLY what the next video on Untethering will be about! Stay tuned!

[@lukeleonardrasmussen3550]

I think being untethered can be broken down to "practice makes perfect". Geoffrey has said that in other videos in that you have to keep with the process until you cant get it wrong.

[@theaveragefishguy6055]

So essentially what you’re saying is to just be OK with the process just allowing yourself to be OK with the time it may take and the process that you must go through during that time I think ??

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

@@theaveragefishguy6055 The approach you just described, based on this series so far, Is this a surviving for thriving approach? Are you striving to be un-tethered? Or are you using auto-suggestions and the un-tethering processes to fall to un-tetheredness?

[@fiifihanson4083]

Hey Geoffrey, quick question. How do you support your partner’s need for space. I left the door open for her and I am focused on working on myself. I am focused on improving myself and creating emotional safety so I want her to come to me when she is ready, but I dont want her to think I do not care like you mentioned in the “passive hunting” portions. I know you said mastering the paradigms and identity shifts is going to help me see opportunities to showcase changes and I know that is going to take time. We are long distance and have four years together. Any recommendations while I wait. She told me she doesn’t want me to reach out to her

[@NCCookingContractor]

I'm trying to find the investment money in your program. I seriously need to untether from the outcome so I can focus on the process. I need to learn and grow regardless of the outcome.

[@Kael-sy6uq]

How can she see my changes if we are not communicating and seeing each other anymore. She told me that we need to heal separately and work on myself and she said if she sees me that I really change, it will be worth it. She said our sacrifices being part ways will be worth it. How can I show to her the changes if this is our situation?

[@jankorecky1618]

Hello Geoffrey, watching the videos on neediness and untethering I'm curious - IS writing to my wife that I love her a sign of neediness? We've been separated for 5 months now, she kicked me out and is with someone else, even though our kids cry for daddy to come back home...

Questions . So what if i feel good genuinely about giving gifts or favors but the other persons actions make you feel un appreciated. does that mean im not genuine ? . I struggle with retracting giving to people when i feel they do not value my effort

[@aripar8000]

Thank you so much for your videos. I just tried to understand her heart and it went really good! But I sadly didnt watch your following videos and I thought it was done. But didnt know the process was just beggining so we discussed again and she told me she doesnt love me, she cant see any shade of future between me and her, and I blamed her and told her how ungrateful she was... I fucked up. Anyways I am trying to being again. But she repeated over and over that she doesnt love me anymore and how she doesnt see me in her future at all. I hope things will become better. I am working on it now thanks to your videos.

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

As I mentioned in the video, that is exactly WHY we must learn to untether from outcomes. Your partner will make it hopeless for you, she will make it IMPOSSIBLE for you, so that you CANNOT fake it. Like I said, you must breakthrough the Paradox of Change by tethering to the process! Don't want to fall into the same traps again? Then, be on the lookout for my next video where I show you exactly HOW to untether. Ready to win? :)

Hey Geoffrey I appreciate everything you’re doing. I have to admit I’ve been having a hard time untethering as me and my girlfriend still live together and we have a 3 year old. She’s given up and says she wants to start over with someone else. That she felt forced into our relationship since the start. I admit that I’m unhappy but I know I have to untether. Any advice? In this case would the best thing be to support her in leaving?

[@archyology]

[@ahmedshah5922]

Isn’t a major part of untethering just recognizing it as the importance illusion and getting out of it and thereby going from a state of need to a state of want . Should we strive to be at a mental state where we think yes I want to end up with my partner but even if I do not I’m still going to be okay and live a fulfilling life ?

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

Yes, channeling our Importance from the outcomes towards the PROCESSES is part of Untethering. And, operating from a a place of WANT is what we are aiming for. As I mentioned in this video, conceptual mastery in Untethering is quite straightforward. In the next video about Untethering, I will talk much more in depth about HOW you untether. That is where I will discuss HOW to develop EXPERIENTIAL mastery. Are you ready to be AMAZED? :)

OH man, that chart at 17:30 is GOLD. Everything up to that point is, but I love well-organized and concise information that tells a story clearly.

[@aripar8000]

Geoffrey I was looking in your channel but never found a video where she starts to friendzone you. I mean she still calling me ''my love'' and sweet things meanwhile she is emotionally less involved and we already separated. Like she is trying to be nice and sweet meanwhile her heart for our future and relationship is over. What should I do? I am talking about 7 years of relationship

[@narciacammon]

What do you do when she wants no contact and is moving on with someone else? I’m aware to keep focusing and growing in ways that I can control, but where do I draw the lines with respecting what she wants which is zero contact, versus creating opportunities for myself? I understand planting seeds but also aren’t I inadvertently destroying safety and not listening to what she wants if I reach out ? Should I learn to enjoy the process of her wanting a different relationship because I’m not yet of high enough value and that would be fair to her?

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

Have you watched my videos on no contact & being blocked? Have you seen my interviews on these too? (e.g. Michael, Eve, Elisa, Ian, etc...) What do they do?

[@narciacammon]

Yes it seems your clients focus on the internal shifts and growing, which is understandable. I’m still learning these things every day or at least trying to. But she says she’s moved on. I don’t want her to feel im forcing her out of relationship/limerance against her will by forcing contact. I’m not doubting I can still grow more! I’m not understanding what should I do if she actually has found the right qualities with someone else? I feel I’m being very empathetic about what she wants and that seems to be partially the basis to emotional safety. It feels almost paradoxical to even try to create contact. Almost Like I’m a creep. But it’s only because I love her. Am I too tethered? I’m still not understanding the nuance to creating contact when I should want her to be happy. She seems happier with me out of her life. Although I am changing daily, I just don’t really understand what to do when she doesn’t even want to resist me anymore, just stay far away. How can I even create a cycle to change this ? Maybe you can provide me with a little help or clarity. Maybe I’m missing something. Maybe I should just watch the videos over again until I find answers

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

@@narciacammon You have not mastered the frameworks, and you are confused that you don’t know how to use it properly and find the right angles & how? How long do you think my best clients take to master the frameworks, and under close supervision of the coaches and other members?

[@narciacammon]

Yes I understand. I can say I at least have a good grasp on the frameworks. Which might put me a cut above the average. But it’s probably as you say, I need to be 10x before partner can even consider coming back. Why leave the commitment you have for something that might be slightly better ? The refrigerator analogy. I think it’s similar to what you describe about grading my own homework. Even the best of the best need to be kept on track Do you think I’m at the point where I should stop trying to create contact and live with the pain and focus on growth? I’ll keep using the free tools but hopefully I can get in when I’m able. Thanks.

[@VonsView]

Geoff the confirmation biases are becoming insane. She says it’s a persona I’m putting on, when it’s really not. At this point, I’m noticing it’s no reason even trying to prove anything or try to make a point. But how do I get to the other side where communication isn’t so dreadful?

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

Assuming you are sure that the WHAT, HOW and WHY of your changes is sound, and you're not suffering from any blind spot mistakes... Scale of POC often depends on how much safety you destroyed. Think about it - what would you have to go through to make you SO SUSPICIOUS of someone's changes so intensely and for so long? Further, you don't see how tethered this sounds? You do not sense the HAVING is coming closer, so you get all rattled :) Classic tethered mistake - and you cannot help but feel rattled.

[@StevoSparta-tt5vu]

Only disagreement here is “high paid positions”. I have a sibling who makes 400k annually and he is tethered. My bosses make 130ish annually and they are tethered. Untethering definitely helps all through life but it is not why the wealthy are wealthy. That is more for sports and your own business, you can make a great career and still be tethered as heck.

[@ErickAndersLlobet]

I do play in a high performance field myself. Here's what I have learned about untethering from Geoff. 1. Exceptions do not disprove the rule. Sure, you can come up with all kinds of exceptions for what I am about to say, but exceptions do not disprove the rule. Eg. The wealth you make in life depends on the value you are able to create. Eg. No one can learn a skill hard enough, for long enough, and at world-class levels if they are tethered. E.g. Take a look at how any of the world-class performers perform, and you'll see how untethered they are in their language. I am sure you can come up with exceptions for each of those arguments above, but exceptions do not disprove the rule. 2. Saying what you said above is like saying "My little league friend is really good at baseball, and he doesn't need to do what the MLB players do, so what the MLB player do must not be NEEDED" My friend, there is a whole wide world you may not be seeing. You do not need to play at "world-class" levels at $400K/yr :) When I held my corporate job making $400K+ per year, showed up tethered as hell everyday, and I did not have to operate at peak levels. Now, I run a 9 figure per annum business, and you bet, I need to be untethered at all times. 3. Untetheredness is domain-specific. There are MANY people who are untethered in their careers, but very tethered in their personal lives and romantic relationships. For me personally, while I was able to untether in my career, I was not able to translate that to my personal life. Two major reasons I have found: Untethering in relationships in a falling outcome. And relationships itself is a falling outcome. I can argue that I can still get by with more tetheredness when it comes to my career, because some part of it isn't emotions-based and some outcomes can be had with striving outcomes. But in romantic relationships, almost all outcomes are falling outcomes. As G says, there are different levels of success. Failure's success (success you cannot replicate) and successful success (success you can replicate). My ability to untether was failure's success. G's program has taught me to untether as a falling outcome, and replicate that success in all areas of my life. 4. Untethering has no tangible benchmarks. You cannot look at a person and determine how untethered they are. That said, this is why people say, at world-class levels, the difference between the average and the best is very miniscule and "mysterious". But if you really observe world-class players closely, this difference is not that mysterious, it is how untethered they are. Their untetheredness changes the way they practice. Their untetheredness changes their mindset during practice and performance. And so on. If you listen closely to the way top NBA/NFL/Musicians/Singers/Business leaders talk, you will see signs of their advanced level of untetheredness very very clearly.

[@ErickAndersLlobet]

@@StevoSparta-tt5vu You might want to watch that video again and refresh your knowledge on what untetheredness actually means. Untetheredness is not about pretending you don’t care about an outcome or not wanting anything at all. It is effort and surrender to the process, learning to focus on the process and loving the process intrinsically, because the outcome is something you want All the examples of gave above are all examples of untetheredness. Eg. I bet their motivation to practice and grow the skills their sport does not depend on their outcome. They practice their hardest no matter the weather. Eg. If during important moments, they start tethering themselves to the outcome, you bet they will choke. This is why the spirit of being fully present in the process, and not thinking about the win or trophy until that buzzer beats, is a such a big philosophy in any performance.

[@StevoSparta-tt5vu]

1. Sorry for the short response so I was driving. Okay first off, exceptions in quantity do disprove a rule. What are you on about? That is the very core how theory works. His rule is a theory and if you have abundant exceptions to that theory is is disproved. I know you like analogies so what you’re saying is like a child claiming they are right in their answer, despite there being concrete evidence it is wrong. 2. I think my response on some of the most successful players disproves your number two correct? I thought as much. Again, multiple exceptions are no longer exceptions it then means the theory needs to be reworked. 3. This was well said, no argument there good job. 4. Again my response to you disproves this. Listen to some of the top NBA and NFL players. They were totally tethered to winning the playoffs, to making that certain team, the Super Bowl, and whatever else it may be. They went out and trained because they WANTED that outcome and not because they needed it. But they didn’t just go out to train because they loved training. There are multiple documentaries on this for multiple athletes, and ultimately their strong desire to win and be the best led them to spend 8 hours shooting hoops (curry).

[@ErickAndersLlobet]

@@StevoSparta-tt5vu You might want to refresh yourself on the definition on untetheredness. It is not about not caring or pretending like you don’t look at or want an outcome. It is about effort and surrender to the process because you want the outcome. It is about focusing on and loving the processes intrinsically because you want the outcome, and this effort and surrender is completely untethered to the outcome/weather. The examples of the people above, to me, are all evidence of how untetheredness helps them to become world class. Eg. Think about the level of focus and intrinsic love for the process they need to have to get that good in the first place. To show up and practice hard no matter the good or bad weather happening, for decades. (The Steph Curry example you gave, you think pure willpower can last decades, or do you think they have learned to love the process of putting themselves in uncomfortable places?) Eg. Think about how untetheredness allows them to be clutch under pesssure. Why do you think the concept of being present on the process of the game, and not focusing on the win or the trophy before the game ends, is so crucial? Eg. Why do you think some athletes choke, and why do you think people say that what differentiates the world class from the average is mostly mindset? Is a major part of it tetheredness/untetheredness? Anyway, as much as i would love to debate about the value of untetheredness, i have to focus on my own process and my own life. If you really do not believe in the value of this, then up to you! You can live your life however you want. But for me, untethering has allowed me to get rid of my anxiety, insomnia, perform so much better for my wife, kids and business, it has allowed me to unlock such a high level of success in so many areas in more ways than I can imagine. And I did not think I was that tethered, until I was shown just how tethered I actually was and how I was limiting myself so much. Like Geoff said, you cannot see what is in your blind spot. All the best to you my friend.

Where did I state anything about that they shouldn’t care about the outcome??? Even though they state themselves that they were focused on that trophy and that win, or focused on that million dollar contract, you still say they were untethered? Their words say they are tethered to the outcome and regard that the hard work put into the process is to gain what they want. Not because of pure love of practice. I would argue that if they had an easier way to get to their goal they would take it but we can never know.
