More Truth Exposed

In "It's Just My Nature" starting on p. 219, Carol states that went to an IlluminEssensce workshop with Taylore Sinclaire and Toned as a III.    She also attended the IE 4 day intensive and later hosted a workshop by IlluminEssensce trainers.  She also states that she felt 2 of 5 members of her family were Toned incorrectly. She goes on to critique that system. "My secondary Type-4-ness could see a lot of flaws in it."  She invited Taylore Sinclaire to work together or purchase her business, but "neither of those things were meant to happen and they didn't."  She also indicates that IE said they were the orignators of the concepts but goes on to find them in other sources. The first was Human Art and the second was Personal Style Consulting (Counselors), which she claims she could find no evidence of them still being in business.

Human Art is a company owned by Brooke Thornley and her husband, also based in Utah, which focuses on body movement related to art principles.  They have four groups called whitened, grayed, blackened and saturated.  Carol asked them to do business together and was also turned down.  Human Art also claimed to be the originators of their material, according to Carol.

Carol's mother had information from 1982 when she attended a PSC course. Trademark and patent attorney, Grant Clayton, "told me the pre-existing art I found disputes the claims of IlluminEssensce and Human Art being the originators of their concepts.  She addes "...the most important piece I needed to give me the legal green light I needed to go ahead and create my own system." and states "... there is no single original system out there.  Who knows where it all started."

See later comments from John Kitchener of PSC 

As we know, they go back to Suzanne Caygill also.  Irregardless, they do not originate from Carol Tuttle.  She may have named a system, but not based on her own original concepts either.

Color: The Essence of You c) 1980

by Susan Caygill

"Suzanne Caygill originated the whole concept of color analysis for the individual, beginning in 1942. After working for years with color and style as a milliner and designer, she experienced a "revelation" about the relationship between a person's natural coloration (as seen in the pigments in their skin, hair and eyes) and the color harmonies of nature. In addition to color, she also developed her theories on personality and style for each season. While a person's color palette is unique to them, Suzanne found certain recurring patterns of personality and style, as revealed by the colors. "

	The Beginner's Guide to Colour Psychology c) 1999 by Angela Wright, FRSA

Wright Color Psychology

"She studied psychoanalytical psychotherapy at Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton, England, before studying the dynamics of colour in Carmel, California, USA, and identified links between patterns of colour and patterns of human behaviour. She formulated a clear hypothesis, which became the basis of the Colour Affects System, an academically sound and demonstrably effective system that crossed cultural boundaries and, for the first time, enabled colour psychology to be applied objectively, rationally and with remarkable accuracy."

Wright is unusual in including orange in the Winter palette, which is also in the DYT Type 4 palette.

PERSONAL STYLE COUNSELORS  (A Brief History)

In the 1960’s Joan Songer took a lot of Suzanne Caygill's basic theory and made it more applicable and easy for people to understand. She found artists who were experts in color identification and had them trained to do color analysis for both women, men and children. She taught classes on how to use and apply their color and style information.  She called her business Personal Style Counselors.

Dear Carol,

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately I don't believe you and can prove your dishonesty. I'm contacting my attorney to discuss what legal procedure to initiate in order to stop you from using our nomenclature that our founder Joan Songer started in 1964. You can resolve a legal entanglement by no longer using the original PSC terms of "Striking", "Animated", "Soft" and Rich". I encourage you to do so.

Carol,

Congratulations on creating Dressing Your Truth. It would be awesome if you acknowledged your original resource for your information and material. The four type names you describe are "Animated", "Soft", "Rich" and "Striking" which are the original names of our Color Harmonies developed and titled by our founder Joan Songer. As you know, Joan Songer started PSC (Personal Style Counselors) here in Calif in 1964. From your analysis with us were you 85% Rich and 15% Animated?

Thanks,

John

My knowledge of IlluminEssensce:

IlluminEssence lineage from Suzanne Caygill
IlluminEssensce gives this credit:

"Taylore’s investigations first led her to the image industry where she spent years as an expert teaching color, facial shapes, and body types. In the 1980s Taylore was a protege of Suzanne Caygill - originator of color analysis (beginning in 1942) andcreator of “the four seasons color theory”, which was the basis for the book Color Me Beautiful by Carole Jackson. Suzanne accurately predicted, to a close friend, that of all of her students and associates, Taylore was the one most likely to have the next big discovery."  source

"I studied intensively with Suzanne (Caygill) for several years... It became obvious to me that color, personality and facial features are not enough... I created my own business in Image Consulting and continued to search for a way to categorize people without relying on color, personality, or opinion... the basis of psychological and physical definition is not color or personality - it is personal energetics."

The system of IlluminEssence involves harmonizing shapes, colors, patterns, fabrics, scents with your core Essensce.

Carol Tuttle took the IlluminEssensce 4 Day Intensive.

 Taylore Sinclaire teaching about the reds for each Tone.

keywords

Tone I: animated, buoyant, spirited, crisp, fresh, expressive

Tone II: soft, subtle, flowing, relaxed, blended, enfolding

Tone III: dynamic, rich, textured, angled, sure, substantial

Tone IV: striking, firm, smooth, stylized, contrasting, definite

shapes

Tone I: circle, gentle triangle facing up, star

Tone II: egg shaped oval or tear drop, gentle rectangle, gentle S curve

Tone III: jagged triangle, zig zag, rectangle

Tone IV: curved or regular rectangle, oval, S curve

Movement Diagrams:

 The diagrams of the movements of Dressing Your Truth Type 1,2,3, & 4 seen on pages 26 & 27 of Carol Tuttle's It's Just My Nature resemble Taylore B. Sinclaire/IlluminEssensce's diagrams for the movements of her 4 Tones.

 My Postscript:

As a licensed Master's Degree Social worker, it bothers me to have someone trying to represent themselves above their educational level to those who may not understand.  I realize that education is not needed to present image consultation services.

Carol Tuttle bills herself on her website as a "Master Energy Therapist" implying a master's degree.  There is no such degree.  If you google it, you will just find her.  She seems to have made it up (although I do find one other person using the title).

She also lists herself as Carol Tuttle, MRET.  This is Master Rapid Eye Technician, which has to do with EMDR.  Again, not a Master's Degree.

A Reiki Master is the 3rd level of Reiki practitioner, but is not a college degree.  She might be referring to this, but then she needs to credit her lineage.  For example, this Reiki healer lists herself as a Master Energy Therapist, but lists her lineage.

Also, in my eBook and on this blog, I also give the history of how the concepts of the elements come from decades of color theory but also classical thought, ancient Eastern and Western traditions, Jungian psychology, etc.

None of these concepts are new!
