Introduction
W riting this book was an amazing journey and a pleasure! I am supposed to say that it was hard work and that it took me a long time. I would be lying. It was easy and fast. Just like me.
I am presenting to you what I know and inviting you to find out what you know. What if you know way more about you and about creating the life you truly would like than you thought? What if the things you call wrongness and crazy and insane are exactly the tools to access your happiness and the joy you be. What if you started to celebrate the difference you be?
Gratitude

Pragmatic Psychology:
Practical Tools for Being
Crazy Happy
Is now the time to create the world we always knew was possible?
What if living can be much lighter and easier than you thought it could be?
What if you could let go of every wrongness of you, all the doubt about everything you cannot achieve, all the judgments you have of yourself and become aware of who you truly are and what you are truly capable of?
Is now the time to get over being weighed down by your past?
What if psychology could be more than fixing problems? What if psychology could be about empowering you to be everything you are and you knowing what you know? What if psychology coud be about creating a different, sustainable future for you and all of us?
What reality that has never existed before are you now capable of generating and creating for yourself and the world?
Is now the time to enjoy and employ your crazy to create the life you truly desire?
Is now the time for you to be crazy happy?

Funny, I just noticed that I started this book by writing about the part that is supposed to be at the end, the grand finale, inviting you to something beyond the limitations you thought were real; a different world. I figure if you chose this book, you are asking for something greater.
So why not begin with it right away? Havent you waited your whole life for when the good part starts? What if the happy ending is available now, and what if it is just the beginning?
What if you could stop making yourself wrong for desiring something greater, beyond what this reality seems to offer and what others say is possible? Do you know what a gift you are to the world just by being you, and asking for something more?
Most people have been judged for never being satisfied. Asking for more is what sets the world in motion. It is what allows for new possibilities to show up beyond the limitations that others make real.
How much of your life are you using to solve problems and issues? How much are you trying to feel good as though that was the result you are supposed to achieve? And how bad have you felt your whole life for not getting to the point where you felt good enough? How much are you judging yourself on a daily basis for not getting it right, doing enough, being enough, for not having the right body, the perfect relationship, the money, the great sex, the successful career and business? How many times in your life were you hit by depression, anxiety, panic attacks or other not-so-pleasant expressions and felt trapped with no way out?
This is the reality the majority of people live in. Its a world where depression, anxiety and other diseases are a regular part of life. Feeling bad and having problems is considered normal in this reality! How many of your problems are you creating to be normal? What if you could get over being normal and tap into the true brilliance of you?

I am a clinical psychologist and I have been working in mental health for years and have met countless amounts of people with all kinds of diagnoses and issues. What they all tell me is how terrible they are; that they have all kinds of problems and they never do it right or fit in anywhere they go. They say they would like to change, but they do not think change is a possibility because they have tried so many techniques and therapies and nothing has really worked. Sometimes I meet people where it has gone so far that they have stopped talking. Others have tried various medicines, but none had the desired effect.
My clients have diagnoses such as: depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, phobias, eating disorders, personality disorder, bipolar, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder), ADD (attention deficit disorder), OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), autism, Aspergers and variations thereof.
I work with these people in a very different way than what I have learned to do in my education to become a psychologist. I was never really happy with the tools I was handed and I have always known that something greater is possible. So I started a journey to find a way of facilitating change that works. What I found was Access Consciousness, founded by Gary M. Douglas and co-created by Dr. Dain Heer.
Access Consciousness offers tools and techniques to change whatever is going on in your life so you can get out of the trap of thinking there is no choice but to be burdened by the wrongness of you, and get to a place where you know you have choicewhere you know what you know and where you feel free to be who you truly are. This is the space where you are home, creating your world. This way of creating change is truly different.
