MORE INFORMATION

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

What is it?

Neuro Linguistic Programming is a set of specific techniques which align the conscious and unconscious mind and body. It enables individuals to quickly and effectively re-design their physical and emotional responses to their world to produce the best possible results in all aspects of their lives. That is, we can quickly and easily unlearn those childhood lessons which are mis-shaping our adult lives.

NLP was developed in the 1960's - 1970's by computer scientist Richard Bandler and linguist John Grinder from their studies of highly successful therapists, Virginia Satir (Family therapist), Fritz Perls (Gestalt therapist) and Milton Erickson (the Father of modern Hypnotherapy). These three therapists were transforming their clients' ways of thinking, feeling and behaving in seemingly miraculous ways.

Bandler and Grinder aimed to discover exactly what occurred in the minds and bodies of clients at the moment change occurred. The resulting techniques of NLP enable people to effectively gain control of their minds and therefore their behavioural results in a matter of hours rather than years.

Neuro - understanding the nervous system's 'reality' through the five senses, and creating new neurological pathways to broaden the world view.

Linguistic - an awareness of communication, and using language to guide the mind towards change.

Programming - understanding the mind is like a computer with 'software' which can be reprogrammed or upgraded using specific tools and techniques.

For even more powerful results NLP is combined with Hypnosis. Hypnosis is used to induce deep relaxation so desired lasting changes can be made at the unconscious level, with conscious awareness.

Who is in control during the NLP session?

You are! Success is determined by your willingness to be responsible for, and fully participate in, your own changes and healing. Some complex deep-seated issues may require more time and commitment to resolve than others. At all times you are in control of your situation, and are guided to work through your issues, whether at a conscious or unconscious level, at a self-determined pace.

Happily, NLP techniques enable you to release any negative imprinting without having to re-live any past negative or traumatic experiences.

What Problems can be treated?

Dis-ease of the mind can cause disease of the body, so a wide variety of health issues can be worked on as part of a holistic mind-body-spirit approach. Releasing backlogs of negative emotions such as anger, sadness, fear and guilt is part of this. Attitudes to exercise and food groups can be adjusted so healthy lifestyle choices become automatic.

Using NLP could help women through, or perhaps even avoid, the anguish of possible infertility. Most importantly, the tools and techniques of NLP can help women free themselves to enjoy their lives, whether that includes actually giving birth, or finding other ways to be creative and nurturing in their lives.

NLP is fast and effective for Non-smoker Conversion, eliminating Phobias and most importantly, changing negative and self-limiting habits, attitudes and beliefs. Re-aligning Values and recognising strategies for giving and receiving love can ease marital issues.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on what changes you want to make, and how committed you are to change. Your initial individual session is approximately 75 minutes, with subsequent sessions approximately 45 minutes in length. Many clients achieve their positive outcomes in 1-6 sessions.

Note: due to their nature, Non-smoker Conversion and Results Coaching session packages are structured differently.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, especially for teenagers. For younger children, particularly in the Imprint Period of 0-7 years, the most powerful results come when the practitioner works with the parents, helping them make the changes they want to see.

Can I have NLP during pregnancy?

Absolutely! Because trauma or negative emotions do not need to be re-lived to be released forever, an NLP session is generally a calming and empowering experience. Issues around not bonding with your unborn child, fears about the birth and trauma from previous birthing experiences, low self-esteem or confidence or a general sense of being overwhelmed can all be resolved quickly.
