In Robb Wolf's book "The Paleo solution" he breaks down the response he gets from his trainee's.
#1
50% "get it" and run.
#2
25% Fall into the "Dumbb"(Dude, YoU Must Be Balanced!) category and fight tooth and nail but later morph into the OMGWTHSTHUAP (Oh my God will they shut the Hell-up about Paleo!) group......What I (prochargedmopar) would call a "reformed sinner" syndrome.
But it's #3 that reminds me of most (95%) of traders, (including me).
A paragraph talking about paleo lifestyle:
The final 25% (I'll keep their acronym to myself-it's not very nice) battle the process the whole way. They have baggage that is apparently more fun than success and progress. It's Mommy issues, Daddy issues, self -esteem issues. It's a fear of change, and it all plays out the same way. They want attention, they do n ot comply, they fail to make progress. I want to lobotomize myself with a pencil. I try to help these people, but I'm no therapist, and I don't want to be. I understand many of the mechanisms on a social, biochemical, and even an evolutionary level, but at some point, you've got to realize that you can't save everyone. If you insist on being helpless, your needs will exceed my abilities to help you, and I willl move on to the other 75 percent who want succeeded. The only difference between this group and the previous group is these people will not even try this for a month. they are a month away from transforming their lives and form success, but they just won't do it.
See any parallels to TRADING and trying to TRAIN traders.
I know MightyOne and TRO both will "See" it.
