Clients are very good at articulating what they don’t want. They don’t want to be fat, they don’t want to be in pain and they don’t want to feel “blue”.
However, it is only when clients know exactly what they do want that the really magical change begins.
1. Do you know what you want or even what you don’t want?
2. Are you interested in coaching to determine your goals?
3. Do you want to find the motivation and strategies to reach them easily?
Then, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and/or Hypnotherapy can help.
What is
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of techniques used, primarily, as an approach to personal development. NLP studies the structure of how humans think and experience their world, and provides a powerful tool that is effective in changing human behavior and capacities
Dr. Richard Bandler invented the term “Neuro-Linguistic Programming” in the 1970s. He was recently asked to write the definition that appears in the Oxford English Dictionary. It says:
Neuro-Linguistic Programming is, “a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behavior and the subjective experiences (esp. patterns of thought) underlying them a system of alternative therapy based on this which seeks to educate people in self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behavior.”
It is based on the idea that mind, body, and language interact to create an individual’s perception or “map” of the world. One of the presuppositions of NLP notes:
“The map is not the territory.”
That is to say those perceptions, and therefore behaviors can be changed by the application of a variety of techniques.
Put simply, if you change how you think, you change how you feel. You can try it now, by following this simple technique.
Excercise
Think about something or someone you don’t like. Notice the image (picture in your mind), the sounds [it might be your voice, or somebody else’s], and the associated feelings. Be aware of your physiology your heartbeat, your posture, or body tension, where the feeling is in your body, and how it’s moving. Now change the experience, try:
1. Changing the image, e.g. Big to small, colored to black and white, near to far.
2. Change the sound, e.g. Loud to quiet, a threatening voice to a silly voice.
These exercises give you an insight into some of the techniques you will learn when you work. Can help you to explore further and significantly change your internal experience (thoughts and feelings). Consequently, you will take control and manage your beliefs to improve your performance. Imagine how much easier it will be to reach your goals when you know how to let go of the stresses or fears that are holding you back.
Hypno NLP helps us to focus on how we do what we do. Another presupposition of NLP states: “The resources individuals need to effect change are already within them.”
Imagine how much easier it is when you know how to apply the strategy for something you do well to something you want to get better at. Hypno NLP helps you to explore what makes your version (or map) of the world different from somebody else’s.
Where those differences are beneficial, you can learn from the strategies of other successful people. Hypno NLP gives you the tools to affect your positive performance. By ‘modeling’ those who have achieved excellence, you are on your way to experiencing your own success.
So, going back to that ever-important question, “What do you want?” It is your responsibility that informs the techniques I use for you to change. We work flexibly with all my clients to empower their unique change. This is a bespoke service.
What works for someone else isn’t always right for you, is it?
So, We take time to get to know you, what you want and the difference it will make to you. Thereafter, we use the skills and techniques from our “toolbox” that will secure your best result in the fastest and safest way we know possible.
For example, all kinds of Phobias can be eliminated using Hypno NLP and/or Hypnotherapy, so I will often distinguish a phobia and seal the change in trance enabling the client to make the most of being phobia free.
What is Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis describes a relaxed state that you are already aware of. It may be through meditation, prayer, imagination, daydreaming, guided imagery, or relaxation. It enables you to take your attention from the bustling world around you to a focused state, “inside”.
Hypnotherapists like us, are trained to guide you into that focused state or “trance” to support you to overcome current difficulties and achieve your goals seamlessly and easily.
As one of our smoke-stop patients put it recently, “It takes the pain away”. This is because it enables your subconscious to run the show! In a nutshell, it enables change to happen “automatically” without your conscious brain interfering.
This is the reason why hypnosis is so successful. A client that I treated for performance anxiety [public speaking] was amazed at the difference just one session can make. This is because your brain doesn’t know the difference between role play and reality.
so rehearsing a “change” in trance enables you to overcome those thoughts and beliefs that have been holding you back.
