About the Author and the History of the System

In 2026, the Turbo-Suslik System is more than 18 years old.

Traditionally, this would be the place to begin with a solemn list of credentials, academic titles, certificates, coaching hours, impressive photographs, grand personal missions, and other respectable decorative material. The reader would then immediately understand that this is not some ordinary person speaking, but a serious bearer of unique knowledge whose words should be trusted because the biography has been arranged correctly.

Turbo-Suslik was never created in that genre.

My name is Dmitry Leushkin. I am the author of the Turbo-Suslik System, the book BSFF 2.0, the book Turbo-Suslik, the protocol collections, and the new version of the system — Turbo-Suslik 2.0. For more than twenty years, I have been working with practical technologies of cognitive correction, self-directed processing, protocol-based systems, and the processing of large volumes of mental material.

At the same time, it is important to say this directly: I am not a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, not a medical doctor, not a guru, not a spiritual teacher, and not a rescuer of humanity. Turbo-Suslik was not created as a medical, psychotherapeutic, or spiritual system. It is a tool for self-directed work with one’s own mentality, built around protocols, automation, structured instructions, and many years of practical adjustment.

The story did not begin with a desire to create a “method for the market”. It began in a much simpler and more honest way: at some point it became obvious that reading clever books, attending seminars, having philosophical conversations, endlessly digging through theories, and engaging in other forms of mental gymnastics changed almost nothing at the level of real life. A person may speak beautifully about freedom, awareness, trauma, the subconscious, spirituality, psychology, and the meaning of existence, while continuing to live out of the same automatisms, fears, resentments, internal conflicts, and old reactions.

At some point, the difference between “understanding” and actually changing became too obvious to keep pretending that reading another wise book was going to solve anything by itself.

The first important step was taking responsibility for my own state. Not in the sense of guilt, self-blame, or a pretty sentence from a motivational poster, but in the most practical sense: if all this mess is in my head, then I am the one who has to work with it. No one can do it instead of me. A teacher, psychologist, coach, book, or technique may provide a tool, but the work itself still happens inside the person.

Then came a long search for working instruments.

At first, there were different approaches to reprogramming: affirmations, self-hypnosis, suggestions, technical means of influencing states, attempts to install new behavioral models on top of the old ones. Some of it produced temporary effects, some of it was interesting, some of it seemed promising, but in the long run it became clear: if the roots of the problem are not addressed, a new “correct” belief is simply pasted over the old mental structure. Like fresh paint on a rotten wall. For a while it looks cheerful. Then the old layer comes through anyway.

That is how I gradually came to the idea of deprogramming — not installing new beliefs over old ones, but clearing the material that is already present in the mind and continues to automatically determine perception, reactions, behavior, and inner state.

One of the first practically useful tools for me was EFT by Gary Craig. Later came BSFF by Larry Nims, a system of direct work with subconscious material that was much closer to the direction that interested me. Based on my own experience and the experience of other people, I later wrote the book BSFF 2.0.

BSFF gave me a lot, but with active work it quickly became clear that manual processing of separate problems was too slow. There are not dozens or hundreds of problems. There are thousands. And if we are being honest, we are not really dealing with “problems” as isolated objects at all, but with entire layers of mental material connected through memories, decisions, fears, resentments, beliefs, bodily reactions, relationships with other people, and internal parts of the personality.

Later I became familiar with the techniques of Zivorad Slavinski. They provided important ideas, especially in relation to working with polarities, personality aspects, charge, and deeper mechanisms of perception. These were powerful instruments for individual processes, but the speed still did not satisfy me. Not because I wanted a free ride, but because the scale of the task was far beyond the capacity of manual work.

If you need to clear not one room, but an entire abandoned warehouse, it makes little sense to argue about which cloth removes dust better. You need a different architecture.

The key turn happened when it became clear that if the real work in such techniques is, in any case, performed by non-conscious mechanisms of the psyche, then it should be possible to describe not just separate actions to those mechanisms, but whole procedures. Not merely “process this”, but define the structure of processing, the sequence of operations, conditions, checks, additional branches, processing of resistances, consequences, decisions, related episodes, and other levels of material.

In other words, to move from separate techniques to a protocol-based system.

That is how the Turbo-Suslik System gradually began to form.

The first versions were rougher, simpler, in places more naive, and technically less clean. This is normal. Any living system first appears as a working draft, then passes through practice, errors, observation, correction, and gradual tuning. In 2008, the first Turbo-Suslik book was released, and with it the public stage of the system effectively began.

Since then, more than 18 years of active practice, correction, tuning of mechanisms, and observation of the system’s use by different people have passed. During this time, Turbo-Suslik has gone through several generations of protocols, many technical clarifications, revisions of particular approaches, accumulation of user experience, feedback, private reports, letters, observations, and practical data.

It is important to understand that this is not about clinical research in the medical sense. Turbo-Suslik is not a medical technology and is not intended for diagnosis, treatment, or replacement of professional help. However, more than 18 years of real-world use, hundreds of thousands of users around the world, a large body of accumulated feedback, and the repeated appearance of many observed phenomena allow us to say that the basic concept of the system has proved practically valid within its own model: as a tool for self-directed protocol-based work with mental material.

This does not mean any guarantee of results for any particular person. People are different. Initial states are different. Readiness for self-directed work is different. The ability to look at oneself honestly is different. The level of internal resistance is also different. Therefore, Turbo-Suslik does not promise identical outcomes for everyone and is not a universal pill.

But the core idea — using structured protocols to initiate self-directed background processing of large volumes of mental material — has shown its viability over the years.

The new version, Turbo-Suslik 2.0, is an attempt to bring the system into a more modern, precise, and technically clean form. Less unnecessary metaphysics, less old terminological debris, more clarity, more structure, and a more sober description of what is actually being done. Not because the old version was “wrong”, but because language must mature together with the system.

At the beginning, much was described through the words that were available at the time: subconscious, programs, charge, polarities, pendulums, processors, automats. Some of these terms remain useful even now, because they are practically convenient. But the general focus is gradually shifting from mystification toward an engineering description: there is material, there is a protocol, there is the launch of processing, there are observable changes, there are limitations, there are transitional side effects, and there is the necessity of personal responsibility.

The system does nothing “instead of the person”. It does not cancel life, the body, common sense, the need to think, or responsibility for one’s own actions. It simply provides a way to work systematically with what usually remains in the background and controls a person without their explicit participation.

In this sense, Turbo-Suslik has never been a philosophy, a teaching, or a path. It is a tool.

One can argue endlessly about the nature of the subconscious, the psyche, automatisms, memory, internal parts, perception, and personal reality. One can spend years building elegant theories. One can quote ancient, modern, Western, Eastern, and any other authorities. But in the end, the question is simple: does a particular instrument work for a particular person in a particular practice?

Turbo-Suslik offers exactly that: verification through practice.

Not belief. Not worship. Not joining a club. Not searching for a teacher. Not waiting for someone to lead you by the hand. Take the material, begin working, observe yourself, and soberly look at what happens.

If after some time a person sees that their reactions are changing, old charges are losing strength, the past is becoming easier to perceive calmly, automatisms are weakening, internal noise is decreasing, and perception is becoming clearer — then the instrument works for that person.

If not, then either it does not suit them, or the work is not being done properly, or there are resistances, or it is simply not their instrument. There is no tragedy in that. There are no techniques that suit everyone.

That is why Turbo-Suslik never had the idea of “converting everyone”. The system was originally, and remains, an instrument for those who are ready for self-directed work, who are not looking for emotional servicing, who do not want to spend years discussing their problems, but are ready to take material and process it in a working manner.

Over the years, many stories, opinions, arguments, enthusiasms, objections, expressions of gratitude, misunderstandings, and a rather peculiar folklore have accumulated around the system. This is inevitable for any living system that exists for a long time and is used by a large number of people. But beneath all this noise, the simple foundation remains: there is a person, there is their internal mechanics, there is accumulated material, and there is a possibility to work with it.

This is the essence of Turbo-Suslik.

Not becoming the “best version of yourself” in the marketing sense. Not attracting a magical life. Not receiving a spiritual medal for your chest. Not proving your advancement to someone. But gradually reducing the amount of internal garbage, automatism, fixation, reactivity, and mental noise.

And then living.

That, in fact, is what it was all created for.
