Why try NLP?



NLP was conceived of by Richard Bandler and John Grindler in the early 70s and has since become one of the fastest growing therapeutic techniques for making fast and lasting change in clients lives. The techniques are effective because they are mostly concerned with finding the solution to a problem and doing this quickly! Essentially it replaces one set of negative behaviours, with a more positive set. 

By getting to the issue quickly and through careful interaction with the unconscious mind, changes in thinking are quick to happen.

When we do not take the time to process thoughts or actions they tend to get repressed into the unconscious mind, these are then presented, often seemingly randomly, by the unconscious mind, as it is still trying to process them. Actually what is happening is that there is a mental trigger, or anchor, which you are firing at the time of the re-emergence of the thought. This could be a negative action or perhaps even a phobia. By looking at the first time that this happened and processing it properly and learning what needs to be learnt, the phobia or negative action quickly disappears.

NLP is also a phenomenally powerful tool when repairing inner conflict. A lot of the time when we are frustrated it is because of an inner conflict that is holding us back, or perhaps a value that we have picked up that is limiting our behaviour. By addressing this in the unconscious mind, it is possible to quickly resolve these conflicts and move forward positively.

The changes that can happen in a short period of time are amazing, you can literally see people light up when they come to their realisations and learnings.

There are a huge number of ways that NLP coaching can help you. To find out more, please contact James on james@consultspring.com.
