I'm David McDermott and this is the page where I get to write great things about myself! And I've added some words from other folks, too. What follows is a quick summary of how I got to where I am today and then a little about how I spend my time these days.
I graduated in Medicine in Dublin in 1987. Having practiced in Ireland I then moved to the UK where I worked in General Surgery, Casualty, Orthopaedic and Ear, Nose and Throat units before moving into Plastic Surgery. I qualified as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1992.
However, I had a sense that there was something else, something more in life that I did not yet have. So I made the decision to leave mainstream medicine to study NLP and energy medicine.
I studied homeopathy for 4 years in the Manchester College of Homeopathy and the Lakeland College. Combined with NLP, this training has been invaluable in terms of changing an atomistic view of humans and health to a holistic, quantum level, energy-based perception of people and how they function well.
I trained in the U.S. with Richard Bandler, one of the co-developers of Neuro Linguistic Programming from whom I received Master Practitioner and NLP Trainer certificates. I have also trained with many of the leading names in NLP including Robert Dilts and Sid Jacobsen.
When I met Joseph Riggio I became fascinated with his use of NLP skills in his model, the MythoSelf® Process.
In medical school we were taught that there was something inherently wrong with people. Then we were given knowledge and skills in an attempt to remedy the situation.
Experiencing the Mythoself® Process, I came to understand that the notion 'the universe is perfect the way it is' was not simply an idea but rather it is a 'knowing' experienced at multiple levels.
I realised, then, that this was the 'something' that I had been looking for.
I recommend you choose to work with him to experience the MythoSelf® Process.
He is someone who can facilitate it both elegantly and powerfully at one and the same time. David is one of only four others that are recognized by me to facilitate training.
You will truly have an experience and it will be all about your life... and more.
-Joseph S. Riggio, developer of the Soma-Semantics Modeling and the MythoSelf® Process
In terms of a decision making model, I consider that the MythoSelf® model is cutting edge technology aligned with our primal nature. The result is a furthering of the evolution of both our biology/physical body and our consciousness.
Now, I use the MythoSelf® Process as the basis for my work with individuals and groups for personal and professional development.
And the skills I now have means that, rather than giving people what others think they should have, I give them what, deep inside, they know they really want.
I have been training with David for three years, as a student and apprentice of the Mythoself® Process, and it is an honor to train with someone who exudes such humor, passion and exquisite skill.
David McDermott is a truly masterful teacher.
