If you are looking for a practical no b.s guide to elicit hypnotic phenomena then do yourself ( and your clients ) a favour and check out James Tripp s hypnosis without trance program.

I have worked professionally as an agent of change for twelve years, done thousands of client sessions and read several hundred books on psychology , nlp and hypnosis.
Relatively seldom do I get my hands on a product that actually delivers something new , exciting and useful for an "old" pro as myself.

James gave me several useful nuances ( including a new way of eliciting amnesia ) that I am using in my daily work, and his ideas have inspired me to develop some useful modifications , experiments and techniques of my own.

This is the first product I have ever endorsed or recommended and James didnt even ask me to do it .

For the beginner I cant think of a more useful and comprehensive product for the purpose of learning to elicit hypnotic phenomena , strongly recommended.

FEARS – FRUSTRATIONS – FAILURES?

I’ve been thinking quite a bit of late about my NLP training, and since the ‘how much have you spent thread’ and even the latest one about using the ‘Meta Model for changework’ and ‘reflections’ on NLPConnections the direction of my thoughts have changed somewhat.

Now before we start I love and cherish the continuing journey and the constant process of learning and discovering new things. However, there were times that I doubted what I was doing and if it was at all of any real benefit. These doubts could be described as my Fears, Frustrations & Failiures (taken from ross Jeffries). I am more than willing to share and express my own (3-F’s) as the thread takes form but initially thought I’d pose the questions that have been bobbing around in my mind.

Please consider the following and hopefully feedback:

In the context of applying your skillset with clients…

Looking back at your NLP training what are some of the Fears, Frustrations & Failiures that you encountered when working with clients?

What did you perceive as some of your biggest shortcomings as you think about it now?

Maybe even now what are some of your Fears, Frustrations and failiures?

Where do you feel you come up short the most?

There are areas that I’ve learned and built on my skills (although through having to) for e.g ‘Meta Model’ where in my Prac/Masters training it wasn’t given much attention at all. Afterwards I put this down to the huge amounts of emphasis placed in other areas that sometimes may be of more importance to the trainer, or just down to the length of the trainings etc. etc…

I mean it could have been that the training was structured around one huge ‘Meta Model’ installation and it took me five years to realise how powerfull its application actually was when I actually chunked back down?

If so then why didn’t someone point it out and guide me to explore it more thouroughly? Instead of allowing me to chase the holy grail and forget about the foundations in my quest for the biggest baddest pattern of all patterns?

Ok I can feel the frustration kicking in

What says you?

HI ALL! Didn’t mean to sound obnoxious or arrogant with the title.. i just wanted to capture some attention..

First of all I would like to say hello to all..

So if your reading this I hope you will be able to help me… I’m based in London and extremely interested in learning more, from either enthusiasts, groups or professionals..

I can appreciate you get the same question all the time.."WHERE TO START?" so i’m going to ask you (if and when you can) to suggest what NLP courses to take and who to take them with…

Thank you all for Viewing my post… EVEN MORE THANKFUL FOR REPLYING!

In return is there anything I can do for you? might sound ambitious but i’m willing to help…

Thank you to Chris and to Ben Tien for replying to my post about pain; I mulled it all over for a while. I’ve also listened to myself – and on an almost daily basis I blame *something* on the fact that about four years ago there were huge changes in my life – my husband started a new company and works away a lot, I started working from home so was quite isolated, and my parents moved 100 miles away.

EVERY day I whinge to someone: "I can’t do this because my folks moved", "I can’t do that because my husband’s not around." Wah wah wah! Let it go! I felt so powerless; I couldn’t insist my husband fold the company (he’s worked damn hard, and it’s starting to become successful), and my parents were so unhappy living where they were, and are blissfully happy now, so I would never whinge that I want them to come back. But it never occured to me that because I can’t change those things, I should change something else (namely my attitude and my actions!). I’m not powerless at all; I’m just focussing on entirely the wrong issue!

So; I’m hopeful that knowing this, and realising that by moaning and carrying pain around with me FOR FOUR YEARS didn’t actually change anything (except it did cost me a fortune in painkillers!).

So, now; onwards and upwards. I need to start thinking of the present, and things in the future that I can do *despite* not having family around. Time to quit grumbling and start doing something about it!

Thank you so much for this forum. How I *LOVE* NLP!

I was talking to my friend about some people who dislike their country and go elsewhere.
"It is just like a fat girl who doesn’t like her body." I said
"But they are different things," she was so confused," the fat girl cannot go OUT of her body!"
I know my analogy is a bit obscure (ok, maybe a lot), but just for the fun of it, I was trying to make her to think in my way and sort out the similarity, so I ask the obvious question:
"Can you not notice some similarities between a fat body and an ugly country?"
"Yes, blah blah blah, but at the end they are different."
And so I was wondering how to teach her to use another meta-program that she is not used to, that is to match rather to mismatch. In general I know that people are capable of using different meta-program, just like she was capable of noticing the similarity, but how to make them notice of the different meta-programs so that they can have a choice before they think?( I want to do this just because I want to see if it can be done)
For myself, I will simply notice the meta-program I want to change or experience and make conscious effort to do in the other ways.
Any comment is welcomed.

Greetings Everyone!!

I’ve been practicing NLP for about 5 yrs now and have been unable to find the answer to the question I’m about to ask. Lets say the state I want to anchor is creativity, and the anchor is rubbing my index finger and thumb together like making a ball out of play dough. Sometimes the state will subconciously trigger the physiological response I created to be the anchor, rubbing the two fingers together.
Its almost like the process works forwards and backwards!:?kmelton1841@yahoo.com

This is more of a question than a suggestion. I’m just interested in some clarity around the etiquette on this forum around posting links to other websites. Mainly because I want to work within the rules and I cannot seem to find the rules expressed anywhere (There is a very deceiving link on the left hand menu titled ‘Forum Rules’ but it just loads a blank white page for me).

I can appreciate that not posting any links must be okay. And I’m going to guess that blatantly posting topics promoting your own courses or products is a definite no no. But what about the grey area in between?

Is it okay to post links to other websites if they provide useful content for the conversation at hand? Is it okay to post links to your own website?

What creates this curiosity about the rules is that I recently wrote up my experience of a NLP event on my blog. It was relevant to the discussion at hand and I posted a link to it. Is that acceptable, or should I have copy/pasted the content from it onto the forum only?

Over to you Chris

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since I have been on here as I have been quite busy with all sorts of things including using a variety of Nlp on myself and leading others into doing the same.

Lots of great experiences including loads of learning points.

Anyways I hope you might be able help. I am seeing a client on weds night that suffers from migraines and is asking me to help. I was wondering if anyone else has had success with a similar client or themselves of course. If you have could you share what worked for you?

With thanks in advance

James

Hi there people,

Absolute beginner with nlp and love to learn more. I have read a couple of books and watched a few episodes with Richard Bandler and i am intrigued.

Anyway here’s to a big learning curve and hopefully a bit of self improvement.

Cheers
