Interesting NLP things May 2011

[Kris Deva North]

Dear NLPeople

Here's the latest Society of NLP newsletter: the first article is interesting, and useful if you swap 'sales and marketing' for a healing/helping context, and I quite liked the statements of the obvious in Articles 2 and 3.

We have seven new practitioners after the recent training - and evryone who started made it through to the end, where I received one of the highest compliments albeit one which may be well have been in the minds of all who have reached that point in any of the trainings:  'I did it on my own, with no help or support from you' (me).  What a wonderful sense of achievement!  Steel is made with fire!  Big Thank You to Ivana who helped them out with a touch of tenderness.

I have again been asked for guidelines for the use of NLP is shiatsu and other healing therapies.  If you are interested in exploring this, I ask you to participate in the following:

Send me a few words - by email not on paper - on how you have used NLP, or your ideas on how you would use it in clinical situations:

1  The State Elicitations in Looking and Asking Diagnoses

2  Rapport

3  Anchoring in Treatments

4 Recommendations, suggestions and aftercare

If you let have up to say 1,000 words (in total) by the end of May I will put something together.  I have just had a great example in a treatment last Thursday:  Client described herself as 'suffering from constricted throat, shortness of breath, heavy pressure in chest, chronic depression, constant worry..' and a few other things.  With good cause - recent bereavement in the worst of circumstances, both parents needing care: one bedridden alcoholic, the other Parkinson's, other family members in state of permanent crisis, recent ending of long-term relationship ... etc

Goodness, I thought.  She had come for Shiatsu but when asked what she wanted from the treatment replied 'losing my guilt over (family member's) death.'

I had found out 'what made her happy' - initially nothing: 'I've never been happy' - but on rephrasing into 'what do you like to do' got a response that was useful.

So whilst giving shiatsu, where she immediately went into a deep relaxed state, I talked to her suggesting she imagine herself doing what she liked to do whilst thinking of her deceased relative as 'being at peace at last', using plenty of presuppositions and embedded commands.

From a person who had entered the treatment room looking as if she bore the cares of the world on her shoulders, she left with a sunny smile, a spring in her step, physical symptoms vanished, and the realisation that she could 'feel really good in spite of everything.'  Her situation had not changed, but now she felt well able to cope.

This is what we do.  If you have an interesting experience you would like to share, please do email me.

And I don't know if you watched 'The Wedding' but I reckon the Bishop of London must have done Practitioner training.

Always happy to help,

Kris
