NLP for people who like to think for themselves!
NLP and traditional health enhancement
Before I began to specialise in NLP training I ran stress management workshops for a number of years beginning back in 1983. Often I would be running two to five 2-hour workshops in any week in the Bournemouth-Poole area in Dorset (UK). And I also had a private psychotherapy and counselling practise in which I saw people individually.
During this time I had the privilege of encountering some great people who were making inspiring changes in their lives.
This process continued, albeit in a slightly different way, when I began concentrating on ‘pure’ NLP training programmes from the early 2000′s . I still encountered (and still encounter) many, many people who are making wonderful changes in their lives. Continue reading
The cost of Get it Right
In Part 1 we looked at the way the Get it Right attitude works and I suggested having a think about how it works in your own life and what it’s cost you to date.
If you’ve done this you’ll be aware of the lost opportunities resulting from it; those ‘if only’ moments when the need to Get It Right held you back or sabotaged you.

It’s also the attitude that gets in the way of actually finishing things – because if you finish something it won’t be perfect and people wil find fault with it and therefore you’ll have failed!
But… if you don’t finish it it’s still work in progress, so you can’t be criticised. Continue reading
NLP techniques don’t work for me!
Not long ago I got an email: ‘I have been reading … (naming a well-known NLP-based self improvement book) and listening to the accompanying CD which a friend of mine has used quite successfully and recommended to me.
I am struggling with it because much of it seems to rely being able to clearly visualise some scenario and feel all the feelings associated with it. I find it very hard to visualise (hard to visualise the good stuff at least) and even harder to feel it so I am becoming rather disillusioned with the whole process – especially when the book tells me how great I will be feeling after doing some visualization, and I actually feel nothing.’ Continue reading
