How to Reframe Fear, Set Meaningful Goals, and Build Momentum With the Paradox Process Featuring Thomas Jones

Thomas M. Jones is a psychotherapist, author, musician, and founder of an innovative technique, The Paradox Process, designed to rapidly transform negative feelings into powerful knowledge and insight—essentially, how to change your life by learning to direct your mind. In the world of medicine, his approach would be described as renegade; however, the proof is inarguable.

Jones has been highly successful in his work for the last 50 years, with a clientele that includes CEOs, television journalists, Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning performers, doctors, musicians, artists, health coaches, social workers, psychologists, and business professionals across the globe.

In today’s episode of Smashing the Plateau, you will learn how to recognize and overcome internal obstacles, set meaningful goals, and harness the support of a community on your entrepreneurial journey.
