The Robert Gene Experience

You’re lying in bed. You hurt. You’ve tried the doctors. You’ve tried the pills. You’ve tried the cannabis. You’ve tried the morphine. You’ve tried the talk therapy. Nothing works. Your brain has built a fortress around the pain — and you can’t find your way out. I get it. I’ve been there. So has Roni. 🎓 Start with the FREE 5-Day Course: https://linktr.ee/robertgenesmith For 10 years, she was sick, and Roni was stuck. Wheelchair. Chronic nerve pain. A spinal cord stimulator was implanted in her body. Drugs her brain refused to absorb. She wrote the goodbye letters. She had a plan. And then she found one more thing to try. In this episode, Roni sits down with me and tells you exactly what happened — how she went from bedridden and writing sui.cide letters to dancing on the last day of a 7-day seminar in Greece. From morphine and ketamine and “nothing works” to singing again, traveling, marrying a good man, and cleaning her own house. Nine years of real change. The dip. The rise. All of it. Here’s what you’re going to learn: You’ll learn how your brain — what I call the limbic operating system, the intelligent idiot, the faithful servant — captures every painful experience and uses it on you. You’ll learn why the body doesn’t keep the score. The brain does. You’ll learn why pain is body language — your brain is trying to catch your conscious attention. You’ll learn that memories are malleable, and that you can take your worst memory and make it your best memory ever, if you have the skills, the knowledge, and the know-how. And you’ll learn the one thing nobody is telling you: you are fully responsible for your mental and emotional health. The cause of your problem is looking back at you in the mirror. So is the solution. Now here’s why you need to book a session with me. I’ve been doing this for over four decades. I’ve helped thousands of people clean up the dirt — the painful memories, the trauma, the emotional patterns that show up in the body as illness, anxiety, depression, addiction, broken relationships, chronic pain. I created Eutaptics and FasterEFT because I had to save myself first. Then I built it into a working system. When you sit with me, we don’t paint a pretty picture. We don’t fluff. We go to the dirt. We change memories. We update what your brain has been faithfully holding against you for years — and we replace it with what you actually want. That’s the work. That’s the only work that produces lasting change. You don’t have to keep living like this. You don’t have to keep rehearsing the bad record. You can play the good one. But somebody has to show you how to maneuver the pieces inside you. That somebody is me. If you’re tired of being miserable. If you’ve tried everything else. If you’re against the wall and you don’t see a way out — book a session. Take the You Can Change Yourself master training. Join the community. Get on the mentor calls. We care about you, and life is for living, not for suffering. It’s time to get off the couch and do something different. Hit subscribe. Share this with someone who needs it. And come work with me at SkillsToChange.com. Let it go. Deep breath. Peace. — Robert Gene Key Points From the Video 1. The brain captures painful experiences, organizes them, and replays them on you — Robert Gene calls this the “limbic operating system” or the “intelligent idiot, the faithful servant.” 2. The body doesn’t keep the score. The brain does — and the body is just where the brain screams to catch your conscious attention. 3. Pain is body language. Memories of trauma get stored neurologically and show up as physical illness, chronic pain, panic attacks, and disease. 4. Memories are malleable. You can identify a painful memory, introduce a new something, and the brain will update and eventually rewrite that memory. 5. Roni was bedridden for 10 years with chronic nerve pain, a spinal cord tumor, an implanted electrode and battery, and a body that rejected morphine, ketamine,

Your life is producing things you don't want — and there are four specific programs running it underneath your conscious awareness. In this episode, Robert Gene Smith breaks down the four styles your brain runs without asking you, why The Secret left out the secret, and how a four-minute session can clear what twenty years of therapy couldn't. You're not broken. You've been running programs nobody taught you how to update. Time to take the wheel.

Most people believe something is wrong with them. They try therapy, self-help, coaching… and for a moment, things feel better. But then the same patterns return — the same emotions, the same reactions, the same struggles. That’s because the problem isn’t what you think it is. It’s not that you’re broken. It’s that your mind is running old programs — emotional patterns formed by past experiences that still control your life today. In this video, I’m going to show you: * Why do your problems keep repeating * What’s really driving your emotional reactions * And how to finally change it at the source For over 40 years, I’ve helped people rewrite the emotional memories that shape their behaviors — from trauma and anxiety to addiction and chronic stress. And here’s the truth: 👉 When you change the memory, you change the behavior. Ready to Change Your Life?

You ever feel like your body just reacts out of nowhere—anxiety, tight chest, overwhelm—and you’re left wondering what’s wrong with you? Here’s the truth: nothing is wrong with you. You’re not broken—you’re just running a program. In this episode, we break down why your mind and body respond the way they do, and how those reactions are coming from learned emotional patterns your brain has been replaying like a TV rerun. Same trigger, same response, different day. Most people try to cope, manage, or talk their way through it—but that doesn’t change the program. You’ve got to update the memory your brain is using. Robert walks you through how these patterns are created, why they feel so real, and most importantly, how to change them at the root. Because when you change the memory, you change your life. This isn’t about coping—it’s about taking your power back.

If you’ve been feeling broke, stressed, or like life is stacked against you, I want you to hear this: it’s not because you’re “broken.” Most people are running an old internal program—built from past experiences—and they don’t even know it’s happening. In this episode, Crystal and I talk about why the same patterns keep repeating, how your mind “internalizes” the world, and why the victim loop feels so real. I also explain how we use a simple cleanup process (yes, tapping is part of it, but it’s not the whole thing) to regain inner control and start updating the memories and meanings that drive your emotions and behavior. If you want help finding the root cause and clearing what’s been running you, book a private session with me. We’ll map the pattern, clean up the emotional triggers, and build a clear path forward so you can feel lighter, stronger, and more like yourself again. Links and resources are in the show notes.

There’s a reason you can practice for years… have the mechanics dialed in… and then suddenly your body won’t cooperate when it matters. It’s not because you “forgot how.” It’s because your brain is pulling up an old emotional program at game time. And when that program runs, your hands tighten, your breathing shifts, and your performance drops—like a TV rerun you didn’t ask for. In this episode, I sit down with mid-amateur golfer Adam Houck, who went from panic and freezing on the first tee… to getting his game—and his life—back. We talk about the inner game, why the emotional side of performance is the real decider, and how to clear the memories that hijack your results. You don’t need more coping. You need change at the root. If you’re tired of being “fine in practice” and falling apart under pressure—book a session with me. We’ll find the program, tap it out, and build the version of you that can finish strong.

If you’ve got that sentence running in the background — “I ruin everything… it’s my fault… I’m guilty…” — listen to me: You’re not broken. You’re just running a program. And that program? It’s a memory loop. It’s a rehearsal. It’s a mental TV rerun your brain learned a long time ago… and it keeps playing because nobody showed you how to change the channel. In this episode, Crystal and I walk straight into what I call the inner courtroom — the place where you accuse yourself, sentence yourself, and punish yourself before anyone else can. We talk about why some people: over-apologize over-work stay in draining situations sabotage good things and even hurt themselves (not because they want to die… but because their brain learned: pain = accountability) Here’s the big shift: self-destruction isn’t chaos — it’s protection. It’s your mind trying to keep you “safe” using outdated training. You’ll hear exactly where this comes from — religion guilt, family conditioning, being the scapegoat, being parentified, being blamed — and then I’ll show you the way out: Stop coping. Start changing at the root. Coping is when you “manage” the pain. Changing is about updating the memory that creates the pain. I’m not interested in you collecting labels, repeating your story for 10 years, or “feeling better for an hour.” I’m interested in measurable change — where your body calms down because the mind isn’t pulling the same old reference anymore. If you’re tired of fighting yourself… If you’re tired of being “the problem”… If you’re ready to stop living under that guilty sentence… Book a session with me. Not because you need fixing — but because you need a new training. You need a new program. You need to learn how to drive the machine. Tap it out. Update the memory. Change your life.

Most people think suicide “comes out of nowhere.” It doesn’t. It’s usually the end of a pattern: pain shows up inside, the brain searches for escape, and when the escape stops working, the mind starts building a devastating future that feels more real than reality. In this episode, I explain the mental mechanics behind suicidal thoughts, the “slow burn” forms of self-destruction, and why misery can feel so true—even when it’s being generated by memory, imagination, and internalized stories. I also talk about grief, guilt, and how people torment themselves with images and false memories after someone dies. If you’re tired of being controlled by what’s happening inside your head—and you want practical tools to change how you process pain, rewrite the emotional charge of memories, and build a better future—book a session with me. You don’t have to stay trapped in the same loop. You can learn how to change what you’re holding, so it stops using you. We are here to help you. https://linktr.ee/robertgenesmith Key Points 1. Suicidal thinking often begins as the brain’s normal “move away from pain” survival strategy. 2. The mind searches for escape: food, alcohol, drugs, porn, shopping, scrolling, avoidance—anything to numb pain. 3. Many people don’t “want to die”—they want a way out of the misery and the future they’re imagining. 4. A “devastating future” is often rehearsed internally until it feels inevitable. 5. When someone is in despair, they’re often in a hypnotic-like trance: they can’t see options outside the story. 6. Addiction can function as a temporary “solution” to internal pain—until shame removes the escape and suicide becomes the next “way out.” 7. Trauma and unresolved emotion can show up as health issues; how we process experiences matters. 8. Grief becomes suffering when people create tormenting images, guilt stories, and false memories. 9. You can’t out-positive a mind full of negative internal references—changing the memory charge changes the experience. 10. The goal isn’t control or pretending—it’s making peace inside your head and becoming the gatekeeper of your thoughts. This audio includes sensitive topics related to suicide and self-harm. It is intended for awareness and education, not as medical advice. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, please contact a crisis hotline or seek professional help right away. If you are in the U.S., call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you are outside the U.S., please search for your country’s local crisis support number.

You asked the questions people really want answered—about trauma, triggers, pain, overeating, “empaths,” boundaries, and why your brain keeps replaying the same patterns… and Robert Gene doesn’t sugarcoat any of it. https://linktr.ee/robertgenesmith In this episode, Robert (creator of eutaptics® and FasterEFT™) answers the most common questions he’s gotten over decades of helping people update emotional patterns and memories—fast. Some of these answers might surprise you. A few might straight-up shock you. But if you’ve ever thought, “Why do I still react like this when I KNOW better?” …this is for you. In this Q&A, you’ll hear answers to questions like: Why does tapping even work? What’s actually changing in the brain? What’s the biggest “miracle” he’s witnessed in one session? (Real stories.) Which perceptual position changes a memory faster—1st, 2nd, or 3rd? Why do “empaths” feel other people’s emotions… and what’s really happening? Why do I react so strongly to small things? (Hypervigilance explained.) Why do boundaries feel cruel… and why boundaries alone don’t fix the cause Is it normal to feel numb instead of sad? (Freeze/fawn responses) Overeating, cravings, and weight gain: what’s the deeper “driver” underneath? Why don’t people remember smells/tastes in memories—unless it matters? What if you can’t change a memory? What do you do next? If you want the answers people don’t usually say out loud—listen all the way through. 👇 Drop your question in the comments (we’re pulling questions for future episodes). ✅ Subscribe for weekly episodes on the mind, behavior, and real tools for change. Disclaimer: This content is for education and personal development and is not a substitute for medical or mental health care. Individual results vary. Key points: 1. Forgiveness is not “pretending it didn’t happen”—it’s changing what your brain is still running now. 2. You can logically understand your issue and still not change—because logic and neurological programming are different systems. 3. Trauma is an internalized representation of events (not the event itself), and that representation can be updated. 4. Pain and symptoms can be “expressions” of emotional conditioning and unresolved experiences. 5. Perceptual positions (1st/2nd/3rd) affect how intensely a memory is experienced and how it can be changed. 6. “Empathy” often becomes projection—building your own internal pain patterns. 7. Overeating and compulsions can be metaphoric expressions of emotional training, scarcity, and learned associations. 8. Humor and “opposites” can flip a memory’s meaning and reduce emotional charge fast. 9. Boundary-setting alone doesn’t heal what created the need for boundaries. 10. A structured “peace list” helps you target the experiences that shaped identity, fear, and triggers. 11. PTSD is the brain’s present-day reaction to past data—change the data, change the reaction. 12. You’re responsible for your healing: learn the skill, apply it, and your life follows. #RobertGene, #FasterEFT, #eutaptics, #EFT, #Tapping, #EmotionalHealing, #Forgiveness, #TraumaHealing, #PTSDRecovery, #AnxietyRelief, #NervousSystem, #Neuroplasticity, #MemoryReconsolidation, #EmotionalRegulation, #InnerWork, #SelfHealing, #MindBodyConnection, #PersonalDevelopment, #ShadowWork, #HealingJourney

Ever feel like you’re the one person for whom nothing works? https://linktr.ee/robertgenesmith You try the program. You try the coach. You try the healing. You try the New Year’s resolution. And somehow… You end up right back in the same old movie. Same feelings. Same patterns. Same “what’s wrong with me?” Here’s the truth: you’re not broken — you’re just running a bad program. And your brain is excellent at running it. In this episode, Crystal and I go straight into the real reason people “fail” over and over: your mind is pulling from old memory files—rules you learned in your family system, survival patterns you rehearsed for years, and emotional links that keep you “safe,” even when it costs you your happiness. We talk about: Why being “the black sheep” is often a trained role (and how to change it) Why “spiritual explanations” can become a fancy way to cope instead of change How trauma bonding works (why you keep going back for the “feel-goods”) Why most manifestation methods turn into a temporary fantasy if your old pain still has more power How real change happens: update the memories and the references… and your life changes Crystal even says it straight: she spent years doing “energy work,” felt good for a moment… and then went right back into the same deflated reality. That’s not because she’s weak. That’s because feeling good for a moment isn’t the same as changing the root. If you’re tired of coping… and you’re ready to actually change the program, book a session with me. We don’t just talk about the past — we change what your brain is doing with it. When those internal files update, your reactions change. Your choices change. Your life follows. Tap it out. Update the file. Get free. Book your session and let’s get to the cause.

Life often feels like a relentless cycle of challenges, leaving you stuck in a mindset where you believe the world controls you. But what if I told you that you're not a victim—you're a volunteer? In this session, we’ll dive deep into the concept of victim mentality, uncovering how our memories and emotional patterns shape our reality. Together, we’ll explore how to rewrite those memories, transform your inner world, and step into a life of empowerment and freedom. Join me, Robert Gene, as we uncover the tools to break free from the lower model of the world and embrace the upper model—where you take full ownership of your life and create lasting change.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Karen, a nurse with nearly 40 years in oncology, ICU, and interventional radiology, who carried the weight of constant crisis until her body finally said, “Enough.” Migraines, pain, exhaustion, fear of becoming the patient on the gurney – all of that began to shift when she learned how to update the memories running her life using eutaptics®. When you’ve spent years in survival mode – especially in nursing, medicine, first response, ministry, or any helping role – your brain has been quietly recording everything. https://linktr.ee/robertgenesmith It’s not that your body keeps the score… your body expresses the score your brain is holding. And when those unresolved memories stack up, they show up as anxiety, burnout, chronic pain, autoimmune issues, addictions, and that deep feeling of, “If something doesn’t change, I’m not going to make it.” If you’re ready to stop enduring and start updating, a private session with me is the place to start. I’ll help you: - Find the real emotional programs behind your pain, stress, or burnout. - Go straight to the key memories your brain is using to keep you stuck - Neurologically “flatten” those old experiences so they no longer hijack your body - Install new, updated internal responses that support health, peace, and confidence - This is not about talking in circles for years or endlessly reliving what hurt you. It’s about changing how your brain encodes those experiences so your body can finally follow. 👉 If you feel like you’re doing everything “right” and still suffering, that’s your sign it’s time to change how your mind is running the show. - Nurses, doctors, first responders, ministers, and helpers are constantly exposed to extreme emotional situations that most people never see. -Without fundamental emotional processing skills, those experiences get pushed down and later show up as physical issues: chronic pain, migraines, fatigue, autoimmune problems, weight gain, anxiety, addictions, etc. - Robert reframes trauma: it’s not what happened to you, it’s how your brain internalized and encoded what happened. - The body doesn’t “keep the score”; the brain keeps the score, and the body expresses it. - Pain (physical and emotional) is a protective mechanism with a positive intention – it’s the brain trying to keep you safe. Addiction isn’t about the substance or behavior; it’s the program: “I feel bad, what must I do to feel good?” Many people in helping professions grew up as caretakers in dysfunctional families, then unconsciously choose careers that repeat familiar chaos. - Karen shares her story: losing her mother to cancer, then later working on the same oncology floor and even in the same room – suppressing emotions to “get the job done.” - Years of watching patients die, running codes, dealing with families, and working short-staffed built up an unseen emotional load. - Karen developed significant physical symptoms: migraines, ocular migraines, chronic pain, myofascial pain, hip issues, sleep problems, heart irregularities, and eye problems. - She tried multiple approaches (medication, steroid injections, massage, chiropractic, osteopathy, acupuncture, coaching, etc.) with limited long-term relief. - A friend (Gary) introduced her to eutaptics® FasterEFT; through sessions and practitioner training, she began changing the memories behind her symptoms. - As she updated those memories, her pain dramatically decreased and some medical diagnoses improved or resolved; stress now shows up as a small, manageable signal instead of overwhelming pain. - Robert explains that memories are malleable; you can neurologically “update” them so they no longer trigger old emotional and physical responses. - Eutaptics® focuses on empowering people to become their own healer by learning skills to change internal responses, not just cope with them.

In this episode, Crystal and I sit down with Tammy — a woman who was literally limping through life. One leg barely working, scheduled for a total knee replacement, stuck in a storm of narcissistic abuse, church guilt, court battles over her kids, depression, and nonstop “What’s wrong with me?” looping in her head. Her doctors had X‑rays, MRIs and a surgery date. What they didn’t have was the real cause: years of unresolved emotional stress, old memories, and survival patterns her brain was still running on autopilot. That’s where eutaptics® FasterEFT™ comes in. In this conversation, you’ll see precisely how stress, trauma, and toxic relationships show up as real physical pain — and how changing the records in your mind changes what your body does with them. You’ll hear how Tammy used this work to cancel her knee replacement, break free from emotional chaos, become a practitioner herself, and help her kids and clients do the same. Here’s the bottom line: you’re not broken — you’re just running a bad program. Your brain has been faithfully replaying old files from childhood, past relationships, religion, and trauma. When you update those files, your perceptions shift, your stress response changes, and your body often follows. This is neuroplasticity in real life, not just theory. If you’re tired of coping, talking about it, or waiting for someone else to fix you, it’s time to learn how to drive your own brain. 🔹 Want personal help?

Laurie Ellis didn’t start out “an addict.” She was a caring, capable woman whose toxic relationships left her anxious, numb, and convinced that her needs didn’t matter. What began as a way to quiet the pain—sneaking alcohol in vitamin water bottles, blacking out at work—spiraled into suicidal thoughts and a weeklong psychiatric hold. Traditional rehab got her 30 days dry, but nothing changed the why behind the drinking. Laurie met Robert Gene in a drug rehabilitation center in Hawaii, and tried Eutaptics/FasterEFT. In focused sessions (50–60 hours across 2013–2015), she directly addressed the memories and emotions that fueled the cravings. The “bottle test” that once spiked her urge to a 10 fell to a 4—and then to “no thanks.” By updating the memories, the charge disappeared, and so did the need to escape. Twelve years later, Laurie is alcohol free—and free in other ways, too. She rebuilt her self-respect and boundaries, maintains a healthy support circle, and uses simple tools when life gets tough: step away, walk, call a trusted person, reassess, and take care of her body and mind. Today, she’s a licensed clinical social worker at a federally qualified health center, launching her own practice, and caring for her family with clarity and strength. Laurie’s story shows that when you change the memory patterns driving the pain, you don’t have to fight the bottle—you outgrow it.

Ready to feel real emotional intimacy and like yourself from the inside out? Book a session with me today, and let’s start the best part of the rest of your life.

Is your mind a haunted house? Doors slam. Old scenes replay. Your body joins the panic. In this episode, Robert Gene (“Einstein of the Mind”) shows how repeated emotional “attacks” train your brain to live in survival—and how to update the file your brain keeps pulling from so your body finally calms down. You’ll hear why the body doesn’t keep the score—it expresses it and how changing emotional memories changes physical symptoms. Then Julia shares how she went from years of terror, intrusive thoughts, and 80+ symptoms to peace and freedom with eutaptics® FasterEFT™—including how Tap‑Alongs helped her flip depression to joy in minutes. https://linktr.ee/robertgenesmith Don’t cope. Change it at the root. Tap it out. What you’ll learn Why focus trains your brain (rehearsal → reflex) “Attacked” programming: family/culture → survival mode Body → mind: symptoms are expressions, not the cause Tapping is the wrench; memory recon is the fix Borrowing effect (why Tap‑Alongs work even if you’re not “on the mic”) Real forgiveness = your freedom, not theirs Julia’s arc: haunted-house mind → calm, clear, sovereign

Imagine being shot six times — and surviving… only to realize the most challenging part isn’t healing the body, but convincing your mind that it’s safe to live again. Our guest was shot six times in the line of duty as a police officer. He grew up in a war zone — surrounded by violence most people can’t even imagine. Maybe you haven’t lived in a war zone — but the yelling, the chaos, the physical or emotional violence at home can leave your mind braced for danger, too. The constant sense that the world isn’t safe… the tension you carry long after the danger is over… that’s hypervigilance, and it affects millions of people every day. It’s my honor to introduce Robert Gene, founder and CEO of The Skills to Change Institute and creator of Eutaptics® FasterEFT™. Known as “The Einstein of the Mind,” Robert has spent over four decades teaching people how to rewrite memories, transform emotional patterns, and create measurable, lasting change. Robert explains what happens in the mind after extreme experiences and why emotional patterns keep people trapped in fear and hypervigilance. He shares how the mind’s structure can be shifted so people can step out of survival mode and finally experience peace and safety again. You’ll learn: Why trauma keeps people replaying fear long after the event is over. The steps Robert uses to help people reprogram their memories and emotional responses. What it takes to move from survival to freedom and peace. Later in the episode, our guest, Nigel Colmer, opens up about surviving a life marked by violence — and reveals how Eutaptics® helped him finally step out of survival mode, reclaim his peace, and feel safe in the world again. This episode is more than a story — it’s a roadmap for understanding yourself, releasing fear, and discovering what it feels like when your mind and body finally agree: you’re safe now.

Why you need to listen If you keep finding yourself in the same relationship drama, body symptoms that “move around,” or money stress that wears a new face every year, this episode is your pattern interrupt. Robert Gene and Crystal Derksen reveal why the “problem” you’re facing isn’t the problem at all—it’s a production your brain learned long ago and keeps recycling to feel familiar. You’ll learn the hidden metaphors of the mind, how emotions shapeshift into body sensations and behaviors, and—most importantly—how to update the memory patterns that are running the show. Robert shares real stories (back pain linked to grief, “allergies” triggered by a word, performance slumps traced to one sentence from Dad) and gives you practical tools to stop the craziness fast. No fluff. No chasing modalities. Just clear steps to change the internal script so your outer results change—relationships, health, work, and money. Benefits you’ll get Understand why old problems keep returning with different names. Spot your personal metaphor map (how the mind speaks through symptoms) Learn a simple, repeatable memory-update process for real change Reduce anxiety, triggers, and pain by ending recycled reactions Replace self-sabotage with congruent behavior that matches who you want to be Build self-trust and momentum with measurable wins you can verify Key takeaways The brain runs a law of familiarity, not just “law of attraction.” Most problems are rehearsals of past experiences—different nouns, same verbs. Symptoms (physical or emotional) are often metaphoric expressions of old meanings. You’re not broken; you’re trained. Update the training, change the outcome. Ask: “Have I experienced this before?” Track the chain; that’s your edit list. Change the internal movie (pictures, sounds, meanings, body feel) and the reaction collapses. Relief is measurable: try to “make it come back”—if you can’t, update the reference. Start with you: what you rehearse inside is what you produce outside.

Are you tired of working hard but never feeling like you’re getting ahead? Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of financial stress, guilt, or frustration, no matter how much you earn?

In this episode, we uncover the hidden reasons why money feels so elusive and why traditional advice like “work harder” or “save more” isn’t the answer. You’ll learn how your past experiences, emotional programming, and even childhood memories are shaping your financial reality today—and, more importantly, how to break free. This isn’t just about making more money; it’s about transforming your relationship with it. By addressing the root causes of your financial struggles, you’ll discover how to create lasting abundance, peace, and freedom in your life. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, this episode is your first step. Listen now to uncover the mindset shifts and practical tools that will set you free.

Have you ever felt like something’s off, but you can’t quite put your finger on it? You stay busy—working, scrolling, cleaning, eating, even diving into spiritual practices—to avoid slowing down and truly feeling.

It provides a clear path to reclaim your peace, transform your inner world, and ultimately break free from the patterns holding you back.

What if your symptoms aren’t a sign your body is against you—but a message about what you’ve been carrying inside? For years, people have believed the immune system turns rogue for no reason. But what if every ache, wave of fatigue, or diagnosis is simply the body reflecting what the mind holds? Unspoken hurts and unresolved traumas aren’t just ideas—they are stored in the brain, shaping our experiences every day. When these emotions are silenced or ignored, the body becomes their canvas, expressing pain that words never could. In this transformative episode, Sir Robert Gene and Crystal Derksen explore how emotional wounds—such as those caused by being told to "stay quiet" as a child—are not easily forgotten. Instead, they are encoded in the brain, and the body manifests these unresolved feelings as real, physical conditions like Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune issues. Experience a profound look into: - How the body neutrally mirrors the unresolved emotions kept in the brain - Why true healing requires acknowledging and addressing emotional pain, not just symptoms - The unique approach that unveils the actual root of autoimmune illness - How releasing old mental imprints can bring relief where medicine alone has failed - You'll also hear the inspiring story of Dareen, who freed herself from Hashimoto's disease using Eutaptics by addressing the emotional roots stored in her mind—showing that when the burden is released, the body's symptoms can transform. Join Crystal Derksen and Sir Robert Gene as they shed light on why your body isn’t working for or against you—it simply reveals what’s hidden within. Understanding this connection can be the first true step toward healing. Would you be ready to uncover the messages behind your symptoms?

Every family has that one thing no one talks about. A betrayal. A lie. A secret agreement to pretend it never happened. In this episode, Robert shares powerful real-life stories of hidden pain, unspoken shame, and how emotional programs are passed down through generations. Together, we explore how families unconsciously mirror and mimic the very patterns they swore they’d never repeat. Whether it was addiction, abuse, abandonment—or simply the quiet rule to “never speak of it again”—these secrets don’t disappear. They drive our choices. They become the unspoken rules we live by.

You’ve tried eating clean, cutting carbs, counting macros, and even working out harder than ever — but the weight either won’t come off… or it comes right back. You think about food constantly. You wake up planning what to eat — and go to bed feeling like you messed it all up. You’ve tried keto, fasting, Weight Watchers, calorie counting… and for a while, it worked. But eventually, the cravings come back. Your motivation fades. And the weight creeps in again. You don’t need another diet. You need to understand the real reason your body is holding on to weight — and how to finally change it. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, host Robert Gene and cohost Crystal Derksen dive deep into the emotional roots of weight gain, food obsession, and food programs. Together, they unpack why willpower fails, why diets don’t stick, and why so many of us feel like we’re constantly starting over.

You change your outfit five times before leaving the house. You cover up your body—even in summer. You stay quiet in meetings—even when you know the answer.

Perfectionism isn’t the high standard you think it is—it’s a bar that keeps moving, and no one ever reaches it. Rewriting social media posts a dozen times, tweaking every word—only to freeze before hitting publish. Rereading text messages multiple times, trying to make them sound “just right.” Delaying launching your program, podcast, or book—not from laziness, but because it’s “not perfect yet.” Perfectionism is a survival program wired into the brain, driven by fears of rejection, judgment, or losing connection and love. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, co-host Crystal Derksen and host Robert Gene—behavioral engineer, drug rehab consultant, and creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™—explore how perfectionism is a moving target that constantly changes the rules so it’s never enough. In this episode, you’ll discover: What perfectionism really is—and why it’s not just about “high standards” How fear of mistakes, judgment, rejection, and loss drives perfectionism deep in the subconscious. Why perfectionism is a moving target—an impossible bar that keeps shifting so you never feel “enough” What perfectionism looks like in your daily habits, thoughts, and self-talk—often without you even realizing it. The difference between being a high achiever and being trapped in perfectionism’s grip. How perfectionism is linked to early memories and subconscious programming Why traditional approaches often fail to shift perfectionism—and why eutaptics® FasterEFT™ is uniquely effective at reprogramming these deep patterns What freedom from perfectionism feels like, and how your life can change once you release the need to be perfect If you’re ready to stop chasing an impossible ideal and reclaim your creativity, confidence, and peace of mind, this episode is a must-listen. Share this episode with anyone who struggles with perfectionism—it could be the breakthrough they need.

If you're holding on to anger, hurt, or betrayal — and part of you doesn’t want to let it go — this episode is for you. Maybe they lied. Maybe they left. Maybe they hurt you in a way that feels impossible to forgive. And while the world keeps saying “just let it go” or “forgive and forget,” that kind of advice can feel like an insult when the pain is real. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, co-host Crystal Derksen and host Robert Gene break down the misconceptions surrounding forgiveness and reveal what it actually is—according to how the limbic system works. Rather than surface-level advice or emotional bypassing, Robert teaches what he calls Ultimate Forgiveness: a brain-based process that has nothing to do with the other person, and everything to do with how your mind captured and stored the experience. This conversation brings clarity to one of the most misunderstood topics in healing and offers a real, practical path to release what’s been holding you back. 👉🏻 Ready for more?

If you’re noticing symptoms like low libido, headaches, autoimmune flare-ups, reproductive problems, vaginal pain, erectile dysfunction, skin issues, chronic fatigue, or pain that moves or has no clear cause—this episode is for you. If you shut down during intimacy, dissociate during sex, feel numb in your body, emotionally disconnected from your partner, or stuck in painful relationship patterns, what you may be experiencing is your brain expressing past sexual imprints—recordings it made during earlier experiences, many of which you may not even consciously remember. Whether it was direct sexual abuse, unwanted touch, inappropriate interactions with siblings or peers, exposure to porn at a young age, or even subtle conditioning like being shamed for your body or punished for showing curiosity—the brain captures those moments. Once the brain records an experience, it doesn’t always store it as a conscious memory—it expresses it through behaviors, physical symptoms, and emotional reactions. That’s why many people feel confused by chronic pain, shutdown responses, or compulsions they can’t explain—because the brain is still responding to past events, even when they’re not consciously remembered. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, cohost Crystal Derksen and host Robert Gene, explore how your earliest experiences with sexuality—including things you didn’t realize “counted”—may be shaping your health, your relationships, and your sense of self. We talk about disgust, shame, guilt, and how those emotions are expressed in the body as pain, withdrawal, or even hatred toward your own body. Robert Gene is a behavioral engineer, neuroplastician, drug rehab consultant, and the creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™, a powerful modality for releasing the brain’s imprints of stress, trauma, and unwanted patterns.

War doesn’t end when the soldier comes home. It lives on—expressed in the body and experienced by every person around them.

If you’ve been living with chronic pain—pain doctors can’t explain, pain that doesn’t respond to treatments, pain that keeps you up at night—we have the answer for you today.

We cover key topics such as: The impact of childhood PTSD on chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia and lupus The truth about phantom pain and sympathy pain The misnomer of the phrase “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die”—and why it’s actually memories that continue to affect us The placebo and nocebo effect—and what they teach us about how pain is created How chronic pain is the brain’s way of protecting you based on past learned experiences If you're ready to finally understand what your pain is really about—and why nothing else has worked—this conversation will shift everything.
