THIS MODERN PIONEER REVOLUTIONARY HAS BEEN CREATED BY EXPERIENCE AND HAS A REAL CAUSE - 2009

WE NEED HEALTH CARE THAT PROMOTES OUR WELLNESS I feel our traditional Community Mental Health Care doesn't deliver on our real needs creatively although I see some are changing now to recovery. I find that the traditional “Mental Illness” model was and is even now used to expedite and dispense the issues of people temporarily unable to apply their individual creative expression and subjectively labeling us, often putting us on dangerous drugs perpetually, and placing us in subsidized poverty with a “support system” that doesn't allow for our mental growth or point the way to our own self-leadership. HERE IS INFORMATION IN MY BOOK ABOUT THESE DESPERATELY NEEDED CHANGES. The title is "APPLYING A CREATIVE TRANSFORMATION TO WELLNESS". My new ability to use and put on 'auto-pilot' the following thought changing psychoanalytic techniques and coping strategies have apparently cured me of my  relapses. My downward spirals of anxiety and lack of ability to cope that formerly resulted in anxiety leading to a desperateness of mania or a hopelessness and helplessness of depression and hospitalization. Basically I have learned by the repeated use of the following defusing coping strategies to reduce the intensity and even eliminate the irrational panic, fears, anger causing me to crash and use negative thoughts and behaviors. RESULTS I HAVE NOW SUSTAINABLY OBTAINED ARE: 1.  I now have high self-esteem and self worth with wellness and empowerment and have learned how to be loved and respected. 2.  Have outgrown any 'need' for illegal and prescription drugs or alcohol to alter brain chemistry. 3.  I have learned the truths and laws that work for me and how to apply them. 4.  I now have value producing ideas and tasks. 5.  I now high positive values and standards. 6.  Realizing potential long term relationships. 7.  Am realizing financial independence and how to live in abundance. 8.  I have learned how to have better harmony with society, friendships and relationships. 9.   My methods encourages self help and little, if any, sacrifice or altruism is necessary. 10.  Also, from all this, I learned that repeated affirmations alone don't work. Nature requires that the recipient of a desire must be responsible, deserving and ready to receive. Examples of the cognitive restructuring coping strategies I have been using are: 1.  Thinking with the opposite, thereby neutralizing the mind's runaway overdependence of a negative thought, producing an unwanted emotional fear and/or anger. 2.  Thinking of a safe place using guided imagery. 3.  Defusing the emotions of improper core beliefs to eliminate improper thoughts and emotions. 4.  Improvement of self leadership by the applied vigilant and ongoing awareness thus properly adapting the thoughts and emotions that result in a behavior. 5.  Developing the skills of proper breathing to help relax and think better. 6.   Developing the skills of meditation to achieve the relaxation response results. 7.  Using the mind to control the emotions instead of the emotions controlling behavior. 8.  Using relaxing thought focusing to slow an overactive frontal lobe to stop racing thoughts. 9.  Achieving better results by abstaining from mind altering substances. 10.  Also from all this I learned that repeated affirmations alone don't work. Nature requires that the recipient of a desire must be responsible, deserving and ready to receive. Using the methods of this creative approach can work, recover a life and here I give my subjective opinions and personal results that, hopefully, will  create interest, inspire further applications and investigations, and result in other successful transformations to recovery. HERE IS MY AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL STORY  By Don Donaldson I am now a self-leader and able to guide others to wellness, mentor others, help to improve the models of therapy,  and help design the creative new behavioral health care model. In 1963, I earned a bachelor’s degree in math and physics. This education provided me with the opportunity to participate in the Apollo Project at the NASA Headquarters Building at Cape Kennedy.  I worked on Apollo's 11, 12 and 13 as the primary programmer of the ACE System. While there I started a master’s degree program at FIT in Systems Management. I worked for 20 years as a scientific programmer for IBM, Monsanto Research Corporation, Computer Sciences Corporation and several other leading companies. A Top Secret clearance was required for some of their projects. Due to the economic recession of 1983 and the budget cut of my job as director of a computer center in Florida  I was, at 41 years old, married with one child, unable to earn a living due to a persistent double digit unemployment and lack of opportunity.  The loss of income quickly resulted in my financial collapse since my resources were being depleted quickly. We became homeless in a year. We returned to Ohio, where we were placed on the demeaning welfare system in poverty. Then distress and confusion lead to anxiety (GAD) and depression. I was referred to and grouped by the establishment's 'support system' and sent to a psychiatric institute in Cincinnati, where I was labeled and prescribed a dangerous medication. This was a pragmatic disposition of my so called 'mental illness' and dilemma, and I was prepared for Social Security Disability. My family and I could only afford subsidized housing in poverty.  I was impoverished and trapped in a 'mental illness' treatment model that reduced my resources and my self esteem to a low level for years. Recently, however, the staff of my current mental health care provider has helped me recover my life by a new creative methodical treatment plan using the behaviorist approach.  I have creatively acquired a cognitive restructuring of my mind. I apply psychoanalytical vigilance and awareness of my thoughts, behavior and emotions and now have naturally evolved my mind literally outgrowing the old symptoms. I have acquired an ability to use and put on 'auto-pilot' positive thought changing psychoanalytic insights that we created for this and coping strategies that we methodically chose. These cured me of those relapses due to downward spirals of anxiety. The repeated use of these defusing coping strategies has now made these abilities autonomic and has reduced the intensity and even eliminated the negative emotions of irrational panic, fears, and anger. In 2005, I completed a course of study at Sinclair Community College, resulting in honors in social work, social problems, sociology, psychology, family violence and communications arts. My first business was the subject of my capstone course of study in Sociology  there and I was awarded the IRS non-profit status.  In 2006, I studied leadership in applied behavioral health care by attending the John Glenn Institute Leadership Academy at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. With this new creative modern treatment model, I have had a sustained recovery of wellness and we now live in a fully furnished custom built home with a new car. With these results I can now envision us having a future life that will provide us more great success, satisfaction and prosperity.
