NLP
Do you lack a sense of direction? Are you blocked by a foggy perception of impossibility? Do your negative thought patterns of fear, worry and doubt prevent you from getting the things you want? Is there a phobia or habit you’d like to free yourself from that has been an ongoing obstacle in your life?
On average we are bombarded with 2 million bits of information per second, which our conscious mind filters to interpret it. Since it can’t handle all of it, these filters delete, distort, and generalize all this information making it easier to understand. Our conscious mind can really only handle around 126 bits, which means we are leaving out about 99.995% of what we experience. The big question is then, what are we filtering or cutting out? What opportunities are out there that we aren’t seeing because we have our focus someplace else? Most often we are focused on what we don’t want, rather than what we do want.
NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming can be used to reprogram the mind. Like a computer program that has a virus or a glitch, new circuits and pathways can be created to replace old unwanted ways of being. As a first step old, undesirable patterns and behaviors are determined. Next, is the important step of identifying the desirable pattern or behavior that you would like to substitute for the old, existing one. In other words, to change your old unwanted habits or ways of being, you need to replace them with a new desired one. A great way to do that is by using specific NLP tools that address various issues. The overall experience for the client is an enlightening and freeing one where they feel a strong sense of “release.”
I am a Certified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ through Transform Destiny.
What NLP Can Be Used For
NLP™ can be used to overcome just about any problem, and is especially effective with problems of the unconscious mind. It works in much the same way as hypnosis, and I generally use NLP™ in hypnosis sessions.
What Is NLP?
NLP™ was developed primarily by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, among others. They studied the natural thought processes of exceptional achievers, and mapped out how those achievers got such amazing results. The result of their research is an extensive and ever-growing methodology for achieving phenomenal results in any area of life, both personally and professionally!
Neuro-Linguistic Programming is based upon volumes of research into the highly effective methods of Milton Erickson, Fritz Perls, and other persons highly skilled in working with the psychological issues of their clients. Functional models were created for the methods used by these successful people. Neuro-Linguistic Programming is the sum of these techniques.
With a truly revolutionary approach to human communication and human potential development, NLP™ has helped millions of people all over the world overcome fears, increase confidence, enrich relationships, improve learning, and achieve greater success.
The word “neuro” refers to the nervous system, where our experiences are received and processed through our five senses. The word “linguistic” refers to both the verbal and non-verbal language we use. The words we use are so powerful that most people don’t realize that they are not just describing our world, they are defining it. The word “programming” is used as a computer metaphor to explain our ability to discover and use the programs that we are mentally running. In summary, NLP is about using various techniques of verbal and non-verbal communication to actively program our own minds, to consistently achieve the results that we want.
Initial Consultations & Length of Treatment
An initial phone consultation is required for any Neuro-Linguistic Programming program prior to a scheduled in-person appointment. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other better, and for me to get some basic information about your issue. I also use the initial consultation to learn about the patterns of your unconscious mind.
The number of sessions required to relieve your issue using Neuro-Linguistic Programming may vary depending upon your own level of suggestibility and your personal belief systems. Please contact me regarding your issue in order to determine an approximate number of hours required.
Combining Services
You may wish to combine your Neuro-Linguistic Programming session with other healing work. NLP combines very well with TIME Techniques and EFT, and combining these techniques often strengthens the treatment and speeds the desired healing. EFT is highly effective at discharging the negative emotional states that keep behavioral patterns in place, and when combined with NLP, greatly improves your ability to move beyond those patterns. Life coaching provides a solid foundation for all other techniques I use and supports you in your process.
