INTRODUCTION TO NLP
Message from Patrick..
What is NLP?
If you haven't heard of NLP, the chances are that you
will soon! Not only is it the way our minds work, it's also become very
popular in many, many mainstream UK areas in recent years, it's very
strong in Teaching and Personal and Business Improvement.
The revolution
called NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) has been taking the
world of psychology by storm only starting about 25 years ago and has
really grown at a fast pace. It is also known as the "Technology of
Personal Achievement". Very highly effective at generating personal
change, it works wonderfully well in an accelerated way with Hypnosis! (If
you want to know more about NLP there's plenty to find on the Net,
although once you start to look be warned it's a big field!).
Most of us go through life without thinking much
about what goes on inside our minds (except maybe sometimes, often maybe, to wish it was
'different'). Heads and bodies are supplied without instruction manuals.
The founders of NLP took a practical view and
said: 'It's your brain – if you don't look after it, don't expect anyone
else to.' They also discovered a model of the way minds work that is
straightforward and practical – the start of a user manual.
NLP is only a
model of how our brains work . It isn't 'right' or 'wrong'
it's only as useful as it is useful. One of the basic tenets of NLP is 'if
it isn't working, try something else' , I use that a lot when speaking to
clients - If you are doing the same thing over and over again and getting
the same results, (and that happens all the time!) change what you are
doing. From dealing with your partner or work colleague or business
practice to going shopping, if you don't get what you want then change
what you put in!! Watch your results, if that doesn't work then try
something else again until you get it right.
Minds are very complex, each of them is different
and as a result we all have different ways of relating to the world.
Oh, I
forgot... it works quickly! No
years of therapy or treatment, 2 or 3 sessions is often all it
takes to change.
