NLP
What does NLP mean?
NLP means Neuro Linguistic Programming.
What is NLP?
NLP is the modern science of the mind which is used by
leading figures in sport, business, education and politics to achieve amazing
changes within themselves and influence the world around them.
NLP Therapy differs from traditional hypnosis in that a
formal trance is not used and the client is led through a sequence of empowering
NLP methods and techniques to adapt the structure of your mind to achieve
positive change and fits in very well with hypnotherapy.
This includes visualisation techniques, adapting the way in
which your
mind perceives the world and detaching it from painful and unwanted memories.
NLP can be used as therapy and also to install new skills,
behaviours and habits. The result is ultimately empowering!
Timeline Therapy is a more recent development in the field of
NLP and looks at where problems and issues arise from and safely release them.
Again, this is a technique which if suitable doesn't require a formal hypnotic
induction.
How can NLP help?
Everyone has all the resources they need to make positive
changes in their life and NLP techniques are used
as a tool to facilitate these changes, leaving you to concentrate on what you
are thinking, feeling and any other sensory observations.
NLP Therapy can be content free
NLP Therapy can also be content free - this means the
therapist can be effective without knowing about the problem in great detail.
Clearly this is a major advantage of NLP over traditional therapies as people
seeking therapy may be embarrassed about the idea of discussing personal issues
one to one with a stranger. The very nature of NLP removes this hindrance.
Emotional problems
NLP techniques provide new ways of dealing with emotional problems such as
low self esteem, anxiety, lack of confidence, destructive relationship patterns,
coping with a break up and are successful in effective bereavement counselling.
Fears and phobias
Phobias such as spiders, heights, dogs, escalators, water,
lifts etc can be overcome as there are many NLP phobia cures available depending
on the subject and your personal circumstances. The same phobia cures are
successfully used on fears such as fear of failure, fear of public speaking,
fear of examinations and fear of driving.
Increased performance
NLP can help improve performance, so making a good performance excellent and
also improving the consistency of performance. It feels good to do well, and it
feels VERY good to do well all the time.
People perform at all levels, from the
person who views golf as a hobby to the professional athlete. We all enjoy that
feeling of knowing our game has improved and for some high achievers that
improvement is paramount to staying ahead.
Achieving and maintaining good performance is essential at all levels
including work and personal relationships. Performance is often judged by
others. Having the clarity to notice this and listen to what others are telling
you is an asset. NLP can help develop the skills needed for relationships that
stay ahead.
Stress reduction and weight control for a healthier lifestyle
NLP has been successfully used with weight reduction and many
other healthier lifestyle choices. NLP is also very effective in dealing with stress. When we struggle with problems we feel the
effects of stress, especially when the problems are longstanding. Addressing the
problem reduces the level of stress so therefore not only do we feel better
emotionally, we feel physically better too.
Where does NLP have its roots?
NLP has its roots in the field of
behavioural science, developed by Pavlov, Skinner and Thorndike. It uses
physiology and the unconscious mind to change thought processes and therefore
behaviour.
