The Robert Gene Experience

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.

If you’re craving connection but still feel alone—even with people around you—you’re not broken. Past experiences brilliantly program you. The good news? Programs can be updated. In a private one-on-one session, I’ll help you find the exact memories driving your loneliness, guilt, or “working for love” pattern—and we’ll change how your brain holds them. No years of talk therapy. Just precise, mechanical updates your nervous system understands. When the inner program shifts, your feelings, choices, and relationships follow. 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.

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. Beneath the surface, there’s a quiet tension, a restlessness that keeps you stuck. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, Robert Gene, a neuroplastician and behavioral engineer, dives deep into the concept of emotional escapism. He explains how this innate coping mechanism often begins in childhood, why it manifests as busyness or avoidance, and how it keeps us disconnected from our true selves. Alongside cohost Krystal Derksen, Robert reveals the one way out: changing the memories and patterns that drive these behaviors. Through real-life stories and powerful insights, this episode reveals the root causes of emotional escapism. It provides a clear path to reclaim your peace, transform your inner world, and ultimately break free from the patterns holding you back. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel restless, anxious, or stuck, this episode will give you the answers—and the tools—to create lasting change.

Can unresolved emotional trauma manifest as debilitating physical illness?

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. Crystal Derksen, cohost of The Robert Gene Experience, and host Robert Gene — behavioral engineer, drug rehab consultant, and creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™ — lead a deep and revealing conversation on generational trauma, hidden family dynamics, and emotional healing.

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 cancel plans and avoid people—not because you don’t care, but because connection doesn’t feel safe. You’d rather not show up than risk being misunderstood. You shrink in conversations. 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. This is what low self-esteem actually looks like. It’s not just “feeling bad about yourself”—it’s your brain protecting you based on old emotional memories. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, cohost Crystal Derksen and your host, Robert Gene Smith—neuroplastician, behavioral engineer, and creator of eutaptics® / FasterEFT—break down the real roots of low self-esteem.

Grief and Loss isn’t just about death. It’s about the plans that fell apart, the paths we didn’t take, and the lives we imagined but never got to live.

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. When soldiers return, their families face a new reality: spouses navigating intense mood swings, emotional shutdowns, flashbacks, and night terrors; children shaped by an environment marked by trauma—sometimes distant, sometimes explosive—and often struggling with their own emotional challenges as a result. The pain and stress don’t stay with the veteran alone—it ripples through the household, emotionally affecting generations to come. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, cohost Crystal Derksen joins behavioral engineer and trauma expert Robert Gene—creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™—to uncover the deeper realities of war, trauma, and healing. Robert has helped hundreds of thousands of veterans and civilians alike transform their lives by changing how the brain responds to past events. In this episode, you’ll hear: The mechanics of PTSD and how it affects the brain The coping mechanisms veterans turn to—like addiction—and what’s really happening inside their brain How trauma shapes not only veterans but also their families and future generations Powerful stories of veterans and families who found peace after years of suffering Learn how you or your loved ones can reclaim peace—no matter what you’ve been through.

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. Maybe you’ve been told it’s all in your head. You’ve tried everything: medications, therapies, specialists. But the pain is still there, and no one’s been able to tell you why. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, Robert Gene and Crystal Derksen break down the powerful connection between childhood trauma and chronic physical pain—and explain how the brain captures information from past experiences, and the body expresses it. Robert addresses why the phrase “the body remembers” is misleading and unpacks the truth behind the popular book title “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die.” If you’ve ever believed those ideas, you’ll want to hear what he has to say—because the real answer is in how the brain holds information. 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.
