Sean Stephenson :: Doing it in the But

Author == 7 December 2011 119 Comments

Size matters :: in certain things … like illegal cockfighting. You want to have the biggest cock if you plan to go home with some of them sweet sweet cockfighting monies. Some people might tell you that smaller cocks often win out … but those people haven’t been certified in Cockmaster Shamanism by the employees of a Carnival cruise ship like I have {it’s kinda a big deal}.

But size doesn’t matter in matters of the heart. Like having a black :: cold :: vaguely turd like :: heart … that can happen to someone of any size. From ungodly giant :: to more like … raisinette …

Dr. Sean Stephenson was born with some terrible life threatening disease :: I think Crohn’s … but he survived!

And you can too!

Unless you die of course :: then you can’t … but that’s on you for not wanting life badly enough like Sean.

Dr. Sean Stephenson is a doctor of the doctor type arts. He calls himself Doctor on his timetostand website :: and he says stuff like …

“Received Board Certification in Clinical Psychotherapy from the Association of Integrative Psychology, is a Certified Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and completed his doctorate at Kona University (previously named, American Pacific University). Sean operates a private practice out of the Oakbrook Terrace Tower in Chicago, IL.”

Dr. Sean’s psychotherapy … or something.

He even has intrepid print reporters like Mark Duncan calling him doctor …

Speaking as a man who has made a complete life from after being born with a severe disease, Dr. Sean Stephenson, a professional speaker, board-certified therapist and author, described his long-standing friendship with Ray.

He had a long-standing friendship with Death Ray :: because Ray cherished his friends … that’s what nobody told me so I believed it.

“I don’t know where I would be in my career today, I don’t even know if I would be a professional speaker if not for James and one or two others,” said Stephenson.

Maybe you’d have a real job? Maybe you’d be doing something other than the least honorable thing?

Dr. Sean Stephenson has made a success of his life by telling others how he made a success out his life by telling others how he made a success of himself. Dr. Sean’s “success” in the success industry is predicated :: not on his own journey from hardship :: but on the express or implied endorsements of others who have achieved higher levels of successfully selling the sheeple on their own unexperienced successes. Tony Robbins writes the foreword of your book … James Arthur Ray does whatever the fuck James Arthur Ray does for his “friends” … and boom! … you’re a success.

You can be anything you want if you just get off your “but” … and join the right couple of dick clubs. And hopefully you’re not wanting to keep your soul … because those aren’t allowed.

Sean Stephenson says James Arthur Ray is not a threat to society, and that he shouldn’t be kept from the motivational speaking circuit.

UnFuckingBelievable!

Pleading judicial leniency for a man whose morally repugnant actions cannot be excused is pretty messed up. But not messed up enough for “self-help” :: so Dr. Sean thinks that Death Ray should get right back out there … you know so he can do some more positive stuff like we’ve heard about with the blood and tears and torture and lies and fraud and death and baby kids without their daddy. Helping!!!

Ms. Polk wanted to make her “James Arthur Ray has fake credentials” argument during the guilt / innocence phase of the manslaughter trial :: but a certain wishy-washy noodle brain :: who was always wearing what can only be described as a “little black dress for old men” :: wouldn’t let her. It probably would have mattered to the jury :: but it wouldn’t have mattered to Sean Stephenson cause his credentials are fake too … success!

Fellow JAR trial blogger LaVaughn laid it out last week in her post :: Sean Stephenson: Diploma Mill Yoda

So Stephenson studied hypnosis and NLP at an unaccredited school that claims to be accredited. He got his doctorate in something you can’t legally hold a doctorate in from a university that may or may not have been accredited at the time he graduated, but was never accredited to give that fictitious degree. Note that there is no mention of his holding a masters degree which is a prerequisite to a doctoral degree.

Sean Stephenson is a doctor in the same way that Panda Express is a great place for authentic Greek food.

Not-Doctor Sean says {emphasis original} …

As a Board Certified Therapist, Sean operates a private practice out of his office in the Oak Brook, IL.

Oh … Chicago huh … how convenient. Maybe I’ll send Jason down there for some sessions in Not-Doctor Sean’s self-proclaimed specialty …

Men who want to increase their self-confidence for the purpose of attracting women, improving their career life, and improving their physical health.

In spite of having access to all of Eben Pagan’s bonus materials :: Jason has only been able to attract one beyond awesome wife … and zero forewords by Tony Robbins. It’s pretty sad. And I’m sure Sean :: as a Certified Therapist :: will understand Jason’s preference for being called “Doctor Jason” due to his properly attained Juris Doctor.

Hey I guess that makes me a doctor by proxy {dbp} … Doctor Droid.

Dr. Droid’s Chicago practice focuses on helping men and women understand just how stupid their stupid ideas are … that plus pap smears … trust me … I’m a fucking doctor.

Unfortunately for free money :: LaVaughn points out that Illinois is one of the states that has passed special laws about calling yourself “doctor” when you ain’t one. So I guess my dreams of fake doctoring are dead :: and Sean’s were a big mistake. Although in the comments of LaVaughn’s post Not-Doctor LyingPants seems to have it all worked out …

“Besides, I’m in the process of moving to PHX where your concern isn’t even an issue anyway.”

It’s not criminal to rob a bank as long as you make plans to go to Mexico afterward.

Another possible Stephenson solution …

“If I wanted to I could call myself a Life Coach. I’ve considered it to avoid the obnoxious run-around I occasionally encounter (referring to you).”

Yeah you could call yourself a “life coach” champ :: because that’s nothing … whereas “doctor” actually is something … so that makes it different. I know it’s hard to understand that without a PhD … but it’s true.

I believe in God, The Universe, call it what you want, something much bigger than you and I. I have prayed that the families of those that died and all those affected by their deaths find peace. Hatred and resentment is toxic and does nothing productive for humanity.

They didn’t want prayers to your ambiguous gods :: they wanted justice … and you flat spat in their face with your shallow misrepresentations in defense of a monster. The choice is never as simple as peace or hate you small-minded waste of space :: in between are things like courage and conviction and passion for protecting future peoples from similar sorrows.

Your precious self-help double speak already killed people :: how abouts you don’t use it to dance on their graves as well?

“I get that you are upset with me for testifying on behalf of James Ray. That case was filled with sensitive issues and debatable points. I also shared my opinions, both personal and professional. I understand that there will be many who despise me and even curse my name for that. I can live with that.”

Good :: cause welcome to me crawling up your ass … no “buts” …

    @Ross Jeffries, I don’t believe I’ve read that Salty found your business sound. Two things he’s said to you or about you here do stick out in my mind. 1) “I’m conflicted about you commenting here.” 2) “He’s hard to shake, like syphilis.” Possibly not verbatim. I’m with Connie. Sometimes you’re humorous. Sometimes you have interesting insights and sometimes you’re better ignored.

    @Ross Jeffries, Well, you do operate in one of those “esoteric” spaces that a fair number of people think is batshit. I think SD vacillates between finding you amusing and sometimes insightful, and having a certain contempt for the business you are in.

    As for the swipes, I have to admit you have maintained surprisingly remarkable civility. I’m not sure I could, and I’m not even involved in batshit. ;)

    As a woman, I’ve always felt uncomfortable — and justifiably so, I think — about the whole PUA shtick, even though some in that “industry” claim that the type of seduction they teach is not just about manipulation in order to get sex, but also about improving one’s self-confidence and ability to get along in life, and so forth and so on. I’ve made an honest effort to be understanding and tolerant, but for the most part, I don’t really buy those rationalizations. But then, I’m not the target audience for PUA products and workshops, and since I’ve been in a committed relationship for many years I’m not a target, either, thank Goddess.

    OTOH, I think @Ross Jeffries is occasionally humorous and has some amusing inside scoop on some of the smarmy New-Wage players. So there’s that.

    I think there’s a place for all voices here — except for trolls, of course.

    Seriously, this is how my brain made sense of the first couple seconds of video:
    http://www.pedigreeddogs.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pug-face.jpg

    Maybe this is Sean getting ready to speak:

    “I am a unicorn, and you can, too!”

    So’s I guess Sean is moving to Arizona to be with Miss Kniss in Phoenix? Strange, heart restarter Mindie Kniss doesn’t even list her engagement on her About page, although she does list a date-TBD upcoming event with Sean on her Events page.

    Mindy’s not content to just be a fake-doctor’s wife – soon she’ll be a fake-doctor in her own right. Piecing things together from that About page, LinkedIn and this profile, Miss Kniss has a bachelor’s in theology from real-school Colorado Christian University and an MFA in creative writing from real-school Pacific University, but she’s got a master’s degree in Metaphysics and is a PhD candidate in Metaphysics at fake-school American Institute of Holistic Theology.

    Here’s where you can check out schools’ accreditation, in case you missed it in LaVaughn’s article:

    The couple that strives together, thrives together (I might Trade Mark that, it has a ring to it, if dull of sparkle)

    Then again, if she’s truly a feral beast of the IM world she will rip not-Dr Sean from her re-started heart without a whimper and bound off to pastures new bellowing her plaintive mating call.

    Sometimes it takes a lot longer to fake-write your fake thesis than you anticipated, I guess. Me, I have only taken Metaphysics 101, but that was with a group that was actually state-approved as a Private Vocational School, so that’s probably too legit to count toward my fake-doctor degree in life coachering.

    I have astrally navigated the Dewey Decimal System of the Akashic records and found your æther-registration, _cartman, and I am confused: Why did you complete your PhD again in this life when you had a perfectly good PhD in metaphysics left over from your last life? Wasted time, that is.

    About the incorporation date, I have done the same thing on my LinkedIn. I’ve been freelancing for years but didn’t incorporate until recently. I have lumped my work all together under my company name with the start date five years before the incorporation date. Do I need to put in a footnote about the incorporation date so my credentials have more veracity? I do want to appear veracious.

    I guess it depends if one’s “credentials” requires the entity to exist. For Kniss to be a corporate director [[CEO]] from May ’07, it would require a corporation to exist from May ’07.

Sean operates a private practice out of the Oakbrook Terrace Tower in Chicago, IL.”

    Salty – I’ve been watching the hack/fraud that runs “Kona University” for some time now. He’s been running NLP seminars all over the country and selling 5k week long packages to come to Kona, HI and learn “The Ancient Hawaiian Art of Huna”. He basically markets to emotionally damaged people and folks with painfully low self-esteem (often one and the same) and sells it as a modern day Psychotherapy cult disguised as a bastardization of Hawaiian mysticism. The hacks’ name is Matthew B. James. Hmm… you’re saying… where have I heard that name before? Oh yeah, son of TAD James – NLP huckster extraordinaire. MBJames actually TRAINED James Arthur Ray in some of his NLP salesman techniques – but was quick to distance himself from JAR as soon as the Sedona tragedy came out. Free free to look at this painfully inept douchebag on his website: http://www.huna.com

    He loves to pitch himself as a Ph.D. and that he’s the president of Kona University. Formerly unaccredited American Pacific University. Yes, it’s a diploma mill. Yes MBJames got all of his degrees from diploma mills. And if Sean is touting a Ph.D. from this place – he got his fake degree from shelling out boat load of cash to this unaccredited douchemill. Nothing else.
    The whole NLP scam is worth investigating. The further your creep up that chain, the worse the group seems to get. Makes you wonder – are they like vampires? And if you kill the head vampire, can you kill them all? Seriously, you should put Matthew B. James, and Kona University on your shi…er…to do list. And by “to do” I of course mean, destroy.

    @Perry O. Veritas, This is not quite accurate. James’s masters is from the University of Phoenix, which, while execrable, is an accredited school. He did, I believe, award himself a doctorate through his own school, which is laughable. But he eventually completed a PhD at Walden, which is accredited and has a decent reputation. My husband downloaded a copy of his dissertation some time ago and was underwhelmed. He found it serviceable but light. It’s only about 88 pages.

    He replied, “Wrong. It’s because human consciousness changed.”

    I said, “Hang on a second. I understand that the orthodox, mechanical, Western medical model is incomplete. But aren’t you taking things to the opposite extreme by insisting there is no actual physical cause for small pox?”

    He said “I encourage everyone to to believe the way Ross does(translation: don’t ask questions or challenge him). It will limit your ability to heal”.

    I walked out…

    RJ

    P.S. I later found out that Tad was cheating on his wife, Ardy, with his massage therapist, all the while talking about his “great relationship”.

    PPS As for Tad’s claim that he invented “Time Line Therapy”(his big flagship course/product for years), he actually got the entire idea from Bandler, who sketched it out for him on a cocktail napkin.

    PPPS. Tad and his son cyber-squatted Bandler by grabbing the domain “richardbandler.com” and refusing to give it back without a huge sum of $$$. Bandler had to take legal action to get it back.

    Problem I have with any of these asshats is that they’re selling their services as Psychotherapy. And the people who they’re selling it to probably genuinely need psychotherapy. Problem is NLP…. NOT psychotherapy. And therefore, the people who are turning to NLP to “self-help” themselves out of their problems are only creating greater ones for themselves (namely, big FINANCIAL problems from paying for high priced NLP crap) that are going to need… yup…. psychotherapy.

    You said,

    “Problem I have with any of these asshats is that they’re selling their services as Psychotherapy. And the people who they’re selling it to probably genuinely need psychotherapy. Problem is NLP…. NOT psychotherapy.”

    True enough. And anyone who gets it(and they are very few and far between) understands that NLP is not psychotherapy.

    It’s a modeling technology that lets you look at human skill and copy that skill. What results can be interesting or useless. Some of the methods that get distilled from it actually do work, some don’t, and the majority of them work SOME of the time with SOME of the people under SOME circumstances.

    It’s funny: this blog tends to have a contradictory view of NLP:

    1. It’s totally bogus and doesn’t work at all

    or

    2. It’s dangerous, destructive and incredibly powerful

    I think it’s a good set of tools, but only ONE set of tools, for someone who wants to do some interesting things with himself and with other people.

    One last point(and I’m sure this will generate lots of flames): NLP is NOT scientific. And the founders of NLP are and were the first to say that. It’s a model and their claim is that if you follow the model you will get the predicted results. In that sense, it’s more of a skill like playing poker or like a school of self-defense: follow these premises and observations and you will win at poker or you will kick the other guy’s butt. What the underlying mechanism is, they haven’t a clue and don’t care.

    But you could say the same thing about MOST forms of psychotherapy. Their efficacy has not been validated in any kind of large, controlled study with two exceptions: cognitive behavioral therapy and, most recently, mindfulness based psychotherapy.

    That leaves a whole hell of a lot of licensed, accredited “therapists” who aren’t doing much more good than talking to a friend or the problem getting better on its own.

    NLP was largely conceived by a coke addicted scum bag murderer who’s left a lot of lives in ruins, that’s why it attracts scum bag losers. It’s a trickle effect. Stupid, egotistical, I’m-better-than-you and I can prove it by screwing you over too, losers.

    Manipulation works cuz it’s manipulation. It doesn’t work all the time, but as the general populace gets dumber and dumber stupid tricks employed in NLP grab bag tactics might work more and more and give the illusion it’s something special. Maybe it is.

    None of your student would attract a genuinely intelligent woman who isn’t a sleaze already.

    That’s why you haven’t found anyone worthwhile to spend your life with, because your technology only works on stupid bimbo’s to begin with. Those of us who figured out stupid bimbo’s just want to be told what they want to be told before they spread their already open legs don’t need to spend money on your cr@p.

    Guess what? If you start early enough, like when you’re still a teenager, after a good half dozen years you realize that a dumb chick is a dumb chick and you don’t want to be spending the rest of your life chasing them. Then, and maybe then, you’ll do the right thing to eventually earn the attention of a genuinely intelligent woman. These women don’t fall for your stupid tricks.

    You’re still 18 in your brain Ross, you know it, you moma knows it, and the rest of the sane people commenting on this blog know it.

    You can’t decide that because it’s a product of your imagination. If we come from where you imagine, we’d believe there are no such thing as stupid women I suppose? Only stupid men? Genuine question there. The point, which you missed because of your obvious sensitivity, is that NLP is a “technology” that only works on the dumb to begin with.

    @ Stoid

    Modelling = Mimicking

    Anyone can mimic if they try hard enough. It’s what makes you a good actor. It’s fact that Bandler would go into the woods on copious amounts of drugs and allow some “voices” in his head to help him map out this technology. Grinder may have helped to bring a bit of balance to that wacko but they’re all a bunch of liars in the end and the proof is in the pudding. NLP is useless for therapy or anything honest and genuine. It’s used to scam.

    For the record, here is the quote LaVaughn called him on, and which he said he’ll correct by Monday (12 Dec)

    Sean, now a PhD and licensed psychotherapist (he’s completing a second PhD in clinical hypnosis), discusses not only what he learned from his hardships growing up, but what he learned from President Clinton about making connections in the workplace, why choosing your words carefully is a key component to success, and how choosing your friends wisely is a good idea.
    – Washington Post

    The original is here is taken from a brief blurb about several different books. It looks like the writer is simply repeating info from the book itself or other promo material, or maybe she spoke directly to Dr Yoda. In any case the answer he gave LaVaughn doesn’t explain why the journalist thought he already had a PhD in the first place:

    “That reporter in the Washington Post was accurate, at the time I was pursuing a PhD, and then switched my degree program years later to a DCH. So at the time it was accurate.”

    He chooses his words as carefully as he chooses his friends.

Too often, people don’t know how to change because they don’t understand how specifically to change their thoughts and their emotions. NLP can give you the tools to do this.

    Re: Timeline. First of all, you decided how you felt about past events. So you CAN go back and change your perception and heal past events with using Timeline. I know it may sound strange at first, but it’s possible. Just because you may think Timeline sounds silly, doesn’t mean a lot of people haven’t found it extremely powerful and helpful to them. Of course, you don’t change the past event – just your belief and perception about it.

    Having studied NLP for years, it has totally changed my life and given me control over my thoughts/emotions. Unfortunately, NLP has been given a bad name because of the way people use certain techniques in order to manipulate others. If you believe this (and I understand if you do), perhaps you may want to consider there is another side to NLP.

    I don’t think that one can work for me.

    Isn’t this the same guy who was on stage with Sam Kinison doing a bit about yelling about Jerry’s kids “THE CASH OR THE CURE”…and saying how Sam helped him get his dick sucked and helped him get coke while Jerry hasn’t done shit for him. (This was all a bit for the stage…at least I think is was only for the stage.)

    Oh yeah…he comes out drinking a beer too. lol.

    @McShiggity, According to wikipedia, Sam Kinison died in 1992, and Sean Stephenson was born in 1979. You do the math.

    @McShiggity,

    Google results say you’re thinking of Doug Bady, who died in 1996 at age 31:

    @Cruel Dude,

    Well, you’re safe on both counts Cruel Dude, as the first ain’t ever gonna happen and the book is a piece of crap anyway–so save yourself some cash and a lifetime of spam harassment.

    As for Sean, he can wheel himself into oblivion all, by himself.

    IT is not difficult for this fake doctor to attract a woman. There’s a sexual perversity called acrotomophilia where some people are attracted to physically or mentally challenged humans, and the more disfigured they are the better.

    It is legally and medically considered a pathology too.

    So if you want my suggestion to find your mate, find someone pervert enough to date your kind. It’s what this fake doctor did.

    I normally respect physically challenged people but I’d really like to find this guy and tell him that he is a worthless piece of shapeless meat that farts lies out of his mouth. That would be a monster, not because of disfigurement, but because of the lies.

    PS: Apparently One doesn’t have to be good looking to be a narcissist.

    People tend to look at the surface and assume that’s all there is instead of seeing through the fog of double-speak, lies and bullshit.

    Sean Stephenson is an irresponsible, deceitful, two-faced, egomaniacal excuse for a human being, a bully without any true care about others’ well-being, who hides behind the facade of a caring, compassionate guide and clever double-speak.

    You could confront him with that irrefutable fact and he’d just counter: “Salty Droid, your followers insult me anonymously. Casts it into doubt whether they’d really voice such claims face-to-face.” Or something else, just to avoid facing up that he’s a horrid “human” being.

    Good thing we have you, Dr. Droid, to inform us of people like this. To them, responsibility is just a joke. The punchline would be Dr. Droid delivering what they deserve.
