I just read with some angst that yet another journalist has lumped NLP into the field of psychotherapy again. This is incorrect. NLP has its roots in linguistic modeling. It just so happened that Bandler and Grinder were formalizing NLP methods by looking at some linguistic models who happened to be psychotherapists because it seemed like they were doing something extraordinary.
If they were modeling chefs, you can’t say that NLP is about cooking. NLP is a science of modeling, but it happened to be modeling processes of things that have already been working. Psychiatrists have said that NLP is not scientifically valid, but that’s silly. NLP is not about scientific validation – it’s about modeling.

There are a lot of unhappy people in the world, aren’t there.
What happens in your head when you’re unhappy? You think something isn’t right, or someone else should do something for you but didn’t – you basically think of things that are not going your way.
You may then make a conclusion that you’re not happy.
Well, actually, happiness is not what happens to you. Happiness is an emotional state derived from neuro-chemical changes in your brain. It’s based on the mental representations you build (see ‘submodalities). The level of happiness is not created as a result of having something, well, at least not necessarily anything tangible.

My wife recently posed me this question: how does someone actually “search their soul” and “find themselves”? My reaction to the question was that they have to know themselves better.
Which, of course, begged the question, how does one get to know oneself better? Here’s what I think.
- Find time for yourself, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. I know a number of people who are extremely uncomfortable with silence. You may finally get to hear what you really are thinking.

I’ll bet you encounter depression once in a while. Or, you might actually be someone who has been battling depression for some time. Maybe you have someone you’d like to help.

Whatever the case, the perspective I’d put on this is that depression is normal. Yes, can be debilitating, but it’s normal. Millions of people go through it. Some people get out of it faster than others.
In recent days, especially after the announcement of major job losses in America, I’ve seen a surge in people seeking depression treatment or depression help. Somehow, many people are in a bad spot and just don’t know how to go about helping themselves.

I’ve been a pretty big skeptic about so-called ‘healers’ and for the life of me, none of it would make sense. Recently, I investigated more stuff related to psychoneuroimmunology , and realized that the process in PNI actually works the same way as the healing models in NLP.

Is NLP about psychic healing? Heck no. But could it faciliate healing, psychic or otherwise? Heck yes!

 I was recently privileged to deliver a presentation at the Institute Of Mental Health, Singapore, on the topic of NLP and mental health. It was a pretty wild presentation, and I actually had it recorded. My pre-symposium training was met with a lot of enthusiasm, and I’m hoping to continue to teach more people there. Most of the psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses have learnt some basic NLP skills, but NLP and mental health training is very lacking in this part of the world, largely because most people have thought of NLP only as a commercial skill rather than a modeling tool.
