Odd Experimentation

Category: Models of Thinking | 1 Comment

I suppose many of you reading this blog would know I’m a counselor and a trained psychotherapist. It’s odd, though, that many things that I’ve done as an NLP trainer, I could never have done as a therapist. In fact, I realized that many psychotherapeutic techniques tend to be very heavily “problem” oriented.
At the [...]

Resolving Internal Conflicts

Category: Techniques, Therapeutic Approaches, Values | 2 Comments

Internal conflicts are a common ‘ailment’ that people experience. I tend to think of this as an inner voice that says “you haven’t paid attention to what I need”. So we build up these fragments until they start hurting.
We could possibly identify them by paying attention to symptoms such as pain, dilemmas and the like. [...]

Conversational Humor :D

Category: Modeling | Leave a Comment

Here’s an interesting strategy for conversational humor.
In many situations, I take “humor ammunition” from the audience and look at the way they interact with me. Sometimes, what they say activates a pun or pattern of communication that occurs spontaneously.
Here’s what I do.
1. I receive the comment. e.g. “How do you actually go deeper?”
I recognize that [...]

Neuro Linguistic Programming: The Art Of The Master

Category: Milton Model, Modeling | Leave a Comment

A lot of neuro linguistic programming practitioners have learnt NLP so very technically. It’s not necessarily good or bad, and I think the most important part of being someone who practices NLP is that you walk your talk. Neuro linguistic programming has had a bad reputation in the past simply because people who used it [...]

Submodalities: Personal Change Strategies #1

Category: General NLP, Submodalities, Techniques | 1 Comment

Your internal representations change as a result of the way you alter and shift submodalities. So, effectively, you need to know how to make those changes. Submodalities can either be changed through the analog mode (like a volume knob on your hi-fi system) or the digital mode (like an on-off switch). Once you know how [...]

Polarity Responses

Category: Techniques | Leave a Comment

I had some interesting experiences with people who have opposing responses to what you say. For instance, if you told someone to do something and he would deliberately NOT do it. That’s an example of polarity response.
Polarity response is also built-in with me when I need to create new ideas. However, it has also created [...]

Submodalities - Three levels of use

Category: Submodalities | 1 Comment

So… not sure about how to use submodaliteis? Just think of it as a way to communicate with an unconscious mind! Yeah - it’s true that we unconsciously created our mental realities, so why not have a physical blueprint of it, so that we can re-create that mental reality. Once you know that submodalities are [...]

Values Valence #2: Why Do Values “Cluster”?

Category: Values | Leave a Comment

I recently thought about my own set of values. Knowledge Gaining and the Fear of Incompetence were two factors that let me get to where I am today. Which came first? Seems like it was the unpleasant emotional states that arose first. My interest in gaining knowledge, however, did not just jump out of the [...]

Values Valence: Why Do Values “Cluster”?

Category: General NLP, Modeling, Models of Thinking, Therapeutic Approaches | Leave a Comment

You’ll realize something if you’ve been in the world of personal development. There is a ‘clustering’ of values. People have polarized their values set around things like “success” and “love”, etc. Yet, with such values, the other thing that tends to come together with “success” is “dissatisfaction”. “Love” is also often associated with clusters of [...]

Motivation Dynamics #3 - Focus And Goal-Orientation

Category: General NLP, Healing, Motivation, Submodalities | Leave a Comment

What do you do when you wake up in the morning?
I’ll bet it’s “How much longer can I sleep” right?
Well, it happens to me from time to time. Though not entirely negative, it’s not the best way for me to perk myself up when I want to get out of bed. I suppose many [...]
