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.

I’m fortunate to have met Dr. Alex Su and Dr. Joseph Leong from the IMH who are supportive in exploring other potential wellness related concepts with NLP rather than just the “illness and disease” focus that psychiatry has always been associated with. One core element was about “resilience”. I think that’s a very important thing that NLP can contribute, knowing that using NLP can help to toughen minds.

I personally feel that there is a lot more room to investigate NLP. One area is through the use of neurological research tools that are currently available (I’m actually wondering out aloud if the Institute of Mental Health might actually have research facilities that I might be able to use!), as well as investigation in the area of NLP specific to Asian patients (after all NLP is pretty skewed to English).

Overall, mental health in general is something that I think we all should be concerned about. It’s as important (if not more important in this day and age) than physical health. Among some of the top statistics for mental “disorders” include depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Well, I’ll explore more of these over time.
