The honest truth

Reading About a Tool and Using It Are Two Different Things.

We've all done it. We read something that makes perfect sense. We underline it. We think, “Ohhhh. I need to remember this.”

And then Tuesday happens. Our mind starts predicting catastrophe, replaying something embarrassing from eleven years ago, or explaining with tremendous confidence why everything is definitely going to go horribly wrong… and somehow that brilliant thing we read is nowhere to be found.

That's exactly why I put the whole thing together. The guide gives you five tools you can return to whenever you need them. The 7-video series is where we actually practice them together.

No giant courseNo hours of lecturesNo new mountain of information

Just short, experiential videos where I'll explain each tool, practice it with you, and help you notice what happens when you actually use it with your own mind — and I've priced it low on purpose so my community can have all of it.

The Complete Package

The Guide, Plus Seven Videos to Actually Use It.

For $17 (normally $49), you get the full guide plus seven short experiential videos designed to take 5 Tools for Befriending Your Mind off the page and into your actual life.

In each practice, I'll briefly orient you to the tool, use real-life examples, guide you through trying it with one of your own thoughts, and finish with a simple body check-in so you can notice what changed, or didn't.

There's no particular way you're supposed to feel. The goal isn't to eliminate difficult thoughts. It's to develop a different relationship with the mind producing them.

The 5-Video Series

Here's What We'll Practice Together

Five tools. Five short walk-through videos. Five different ways to change your relationship with thought — a complete walk-through of all 5 tools. Then two bonus videos that reveal the bigger journey underneath them all.

Video1

Name Your Mind

Meet the voice behind the commentary.

Give your mind a name and practice creating a little separation between you and whatever message your mind happens to be sending.

I call my mind Buster. What's your mind's name?
SkillStop treating every message your mind sends as a message from YOU.
Video2

Thought Distancing

A few words can create a surprising amount of space.

Take a thought that feels completely true and practice changing:

“I'm going to screw this up.”

into:

“I notice I'm having the thought that I'm going to screw this up.”

The thought doesn't have to disappear for your relationship to it to change.

SkillCreate breathing room around thoughts that feel completely true.
Video3

The Curious Observer

What if judgment became curiosity?

Instead of:

“Why the hell do I always think like this?”

practice asking:

“I wonder what's happening here.”

Explore what your mind may be concerned about, what it might be trying to accomplish, and what changes when you become curious instead of combative.

SkillReplace judgment of your mind with curiosity about it.
Video4

Rewriting the Script

Your mind tells stories. You can revise them.

Learn how to separate what actually happened from the meaning your mind automatically assigned to it.

Then practice finding another interpretation that passes three tests:

Believable. Compassionate. Useful.
Bonus Companion Worksheet Included

The worksheet helps you actually work through the Rewriting the Script process with your own situation.

SkillQuestion automatic meanings and discover what else might also be true.
Video5

The Thought Parade

You don't have to march in every parade your mind starts.

Use a guided visualization to practice watching thoughts arrive and move without needing to chase them, fix them, suppress them, analyze them, or obey them.

SkillLet thoughts come and go while staying grounded on the sidewalk.
That's the complete 5-tool walk-through

Bonus S.H.I.F.T. Practice

From Befriending Your Mind to Befriending Your Life

This final practice widens everything we've been doing.

I'll introduce you to the S.H.I.F.T. Model and my Five Brain Model of Human Knowing, then guide you through a tapping practice that reconnects five different centers of intelligence:

Brain 1:The LeaderEmotions (Heart)Emotion, connection, desire, what matters.Forgotten Brain
Brain 2:The GuardianInstincts/Intuition (Gut)Instinct and intuition.Disconnected
Brain 3:The Scientist ExperimenterMind/Thoughts (Left Brain)Thought, language, analysis, meaning.We Mostly Use This One
Brain 4:The Artist ExperimenterSpirit/Vision (Right Brain)Imagination, possibility, perspective, creativity, the visionary capacity many call spirit.Forgotten Brain
Brain 5:The Gate KeeperSensations (Body /
Nervous System)
Safety, activation, regulation, embodied information.Disconnected
Inner Wizard(Whole Self)All five, brought into relationship through Self energy.
Wholeness doesn't require consensus. Your five brains don't have to agree. The practice is learning how to listen to the whole council without allowing any single voice to become the dictator.
SkillBegin moving from befriending your thoughts toward befriending your whole inner experience.
Bonus7
Bonus Live Tapping Circle

A Live Tapping Circle Workshop

The one practice we do together, in real time.

Join Brian for a recorded live workshop where he explains the Five Brain Model in real time, then leads participants through a powerful 45-minute tapping session.

A full 45 minutes of guided tapping — experienced live, together.
SkillMove from understanding the Five Brain Model to feeling it in your body through live, guided tapping.

The Bigger Arc

This Was Never Just About Having Better Thoughts.

These practices begin with the mind because thoughts give us an incredibly accessible place to practice. But underneath them is a much bigger invitation:

Befriend Your MindThoughts | Stories | Beliefs | Certainty
↓
Befriend Your Inner ExperienceEmotions | Sensations | Instincts | Hunches
↓
Befriend YourselfReactions | Impulses | Urges | Self-Sabotage
↓
Befriend RealityCircumstances | History | Setbacks | Present Moment
↓
Befriend Your LifeWhen What Happens To You Meets the Real You

The goal isn't to finally construct an inner world where nothing uncomfortable happens.

It's learning how to meet the mind, emotions, body, instincts, uncertainty, setbacks, and eventually the strange uncontrollable experience of being alive with more curiosity, compassion, flexibility, presence, and choice.

This series begins that journey with something wonderfully manageable: one thought at a time.

What the experience feels like

Don't Just Watch. Practice.

Each video is only approx 10 min each. These aren't lectures you're supposed to someday finish. They're practices you can actually use.

Watch one. Try it. Take it into your life. Come back whenever your mind needs a friend.

Golden morning light through a peaceful forest
1

Watch

I'll give you a brief, conversational orientation to each tool using concrete examples, personal stories, and probably Buster causing trouble somewhere.

2

Practice With Me

Instead of merely explaining what to do, I'll guide you through actually using the tool with one of your own thoughts.

3

Notice

We'll finish with a brief body check-in and integration moment: How do you feel now? What changed? What didn't? What do you notice?

Who this is for

This Might Be Especially Useful If…

You don't need to be good at meditation. You don't need to understand psychology. And you definitely don't need to have a quiet mind. Bring the mind you've got.

FAQ

A Few Things You Might Be Wondering

How long are the videos?

Each guided practice is approx 10 min each, so you can actually fit these into real life.

Do I need to watch them in order?

The videos build on one another, so going through them in order the first time will give you the fullest experience. After that, return to whichever tool you need.

Do I need experience with ACT, tapping, meditation, or IFS?

No. Everything you need to participate is explained inside the videos.

Is this therapy?

No. This is an educational and experiential personal-growth resource and is not psychotherapy, diagnosis, medical treatment, or a substitute for professional care.

What happens after I purchase?

You'll receive immediate access to the six guided videos and the companion Rewriting the Script worksheet.

One last thing

Your Mind Doesn't Need Another Person Fighting With It.

Especially when that person is you.

You already have the five tools. You can absolutely take the guide and begin practicing them on your own. But if you'd like some company… I'll sit beside you for the next step.

We'll name the mind. Create some breathing room around its thoughts. Get curious about what it's doing. Rewrite a few scripts. Watch a parade go by. And then zoom out far enough to discover that befriending your mind may only be the beginning.
