Robert Gene Smith (Robert Gene)


“The Einstein of the Mind”

A proven guide who’s been where you are and gives you a trusted system to stop reliving the past and build the life you want.

If old pain, repeating patterns, or stress keep stealing your time and happiness, Robert helps you stop the cycle and create genuine, lasting change. He built a clear, repeatable system that removes the emotional charge from memories, rewrites the internal “proof” your brain relies on, and gives you tools you can use for the rest of your life.

What you will experience

Working with Robert or a certified practitioner, you’ll notice real shifts — often faster than you expect:

  • Immediate reduction in stress and reactivity.
  • Fewer automatic, self-sabotaging responses.
  • Greater clarity, better decisions, and healthier relationships.
  • Relief from chronic stress-related symptoms and improved physical well-being.

What gets solved

Robert’s work targets the root causes — the memories and subconscious beliefs that keep problems alive. That means solving:

  • Trauma responses and flashbacks
  • Addictive and compulsive behaviors
  • Chronic anxiety and overwhelming stress
  • Self-limiting beliefs that hold you back
  • Repeating relationship patterns and old wounds

Why Robert is uniquely qualified to guide you

Robert is called “The Einstein of the Mind” because he turns complex brain science into practical, usable tools. But his authority comes from more than theory — it comes from walking the path himself and walking beside hundreds of thousands of people who’ve been through hell and come out the other side.

For a decade, he has volunteered and worked inside drug rehabilitation centers at the darkest edges of human suffering — the “worst of the worst” situations you can imagine. There, he helped people break free from the grip of addiction, trauma, and pain, guiding them toward healing and transformation when nothing else seemed to work. He’s taken those experiences, refined them into Eutaptics® and FasterEFT™, and taught thousands of certified practitioners to deliver the same reliable results.

A guide with heart

You may not have the biggest crisis — or you might. Either way, Robert’s commitment is the same: he wants you to have a better life because you only get one. He brings compassion, clear direction, and the willingness to push you toward your best. He knows change can feel scary at first, and he’s there to steady you through it — welcoming you into the journey of personal transformation and staying with you until the change is real.

A simple promise

This is a proven, teachable system built from lived experience and tested in the hardest real-world environments. If you commit to the process, you will stop reliving the past and gain practical tools that deliver measurable improvement in your emotions, relationships, and physical health.

The Skills to Change Institute


Update your brain. Your Life Will follow the Change.
The sharpest, most practical system for lasting emotional, physical, and behavioral transformation.

About us — a system you can trust

If you’re exhausted from temporary fixes, confusing techniques, or therapies that only touch the symptoms, Skills to Change Institute was built for you. Since 2005, we’ve taught a clear, laser system that gets to the cause — the unconscious memories and beliefs that drive automatic pain, addiction, and self-sabotage. This isn’t a Band-Aid. It’s a practical, repeatable protocol you can trust to produce measurable, lasting results.

Our founder and CEO, Robert Gene Smith — known as “The Einstein of the Mind” — spent four decades learning, testing, and refining what truly works. He began with FasterEFT and evolved the training into Taptics, the sharpest training system we teach today. Robert’s personal journey and decades of real-world work (including volunteer and clinical work inside the toughest drug-rehab environments) inform everything we teach: methods that transform the worst problems the human mind can produce — from addiction and phobias to chronic pain, illness, relationship breakdowns, and financial struggles.

What we teach

We train you in a complete belief-and-value system — a toolbox of practical, simple processes that:

  • Remove emotional charge from memories so triggers stop replaying.
  • Rewrite the subconscious “proof” your brain uses to produce unwanted behavior.
  • Create consistent, repeatable change anyone can learn and apply — even children.
  • Combine spiritual, logical, and practical approaches for real-world results.

Why it works

  • Root-cause focus: Instead of managing symptoms, we address the information your subconscious uses as evidence — the real source of recurring problems.
  • Battle-tested in the worst settings: Methods proven in severe addiction and trauma clinics and refined over decades of practice.
  • Teachable and scalable: Whether you learn for your own life or to become a practitioner, the system is easy to learn and reliably applied.
  • Practical tools for everyday life: You get simple techniques you can use immediately, with measurable improvements in mood, relationships, health, and performance.

Who benefits

People facing the deepest wounds — and those with everyday struggles — both find powerful results here. Our training helps people overcome:

  • Addiction and compulsive behaviors
  • Trauma and PTSD responses
  • Phobias and panic
  • Chronic pain and stress-related illness
  • Repeating relationship and financial patterns

Our promise

We teach a precise, evidence-informed, and compassionate system built from lived experience and tested on hundreds of thousands of lives. If you commit to the process, Skills to Change gives you the tools to stop reliving the past, reclaim your nervous system, and create a better quality of life. You only get one life — we help you make it a great one.
