NLP Couples Therapy

Monday, September 7th, 2009

When people ask me about using NLP for couples therapy, the first thing I ask is, ‘is this relationship worth saving?’.  If it is then there are a number of NLP and Time Line™ Therapy techniques that can help couples reconnect their love strategy, relationship values and begin communicating in a resourceful and loving way.

What if the answer however is ‘No, this relationship isn’t worth saving!” ?

You know being honest with yourself about what you want out of a relationship is the first step towards having the relationship you really want and need.  All too often I hear about people who stay in unresourceful or unhappy relationships because the perceived pain of leaving is too much to contemplate.   The question I’d like to ask is this….  When did it become okay for us to remain in a relationship where our needs are not being met?  How often do you hear of older couples wishing they had the guts to leave the relationship and spend their remaining years in a passionate and exciting relationship?

Regardless of whether you stay and make it work or leave and make it work, NLP techniques can help you make the transition easier emotionally.

The first thing you need to do is be clear about what it is you want in a relationship.  You probably already know what you don’t want – so stop focusing on that and focus on what you do want.  Once you have that list of wants and needs – look at your current relationship and decide together if the relationship is worth saving and if each partner can meet the other’s needs. If the answer is no, then you can support each other in the decision and move towards what you do want in an amicable way.

NLP Anchoring – Control your emotional state!

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Imagine if you could be in charge of your emotional state each and every day.  Would it be useful to be able to call on command an internal emotional state that is powerful, motivating, confident, empowering at anytime you needed it? 

Working with clients, students and graduates of our courses, I get asked a lot about the concept of NLP Anchoring and does it really work.

The answer is a definite ‘yes’

What is an anchor?  Well your alarm clock is an anchor – sometimes you wake up seconds before it goes off – yes you know you do that!  Songs are anchors – you know that certain song that reminds you of a wonderful event in your past, maybe at high school or the first kiss etc.  Hearing the words, ‘Well done’ – can be an anchor – it simply evokes an emotional state, either happy or not.  What about the words, ‘I love you’ – what kind of emotions do they evoke inside?

Using the concept of ‘anchoring’ we teach our students and clients how to be in control of their emotional state at anytime.  So if you are going for a job interview or presenting to the Management team, you can easily control your internal emotional state so you walk in there totally confident, totally motivated and totally in control.

Anchoring is easy to learn and easy to implement. We teach this and many more NLP techniques in our 7 Day NLP Practitioner Course.  At the end of the 7 days, you walk away with four certifications:

  1. NLP Practitioner
  2. NLP Coach
  3. Time Line Therapy® Practitioner
  4. Hypnotherapist

The great news is there is still spots available on the September 10-16 course at the Gold Coast.  For more information on seminars, courses and coaching, call 1300 388875, or visit www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au

Kids Anxiety? NLP Can Help

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Kids can get anxious about many many things.  Exam anxiety, school anxiety, anxiety about friends and family to name a few.  And I don’t just mean young kids.  Young adults also get anxious, especially when it comes to fitting in socially and also around exam time.

When a child or adult feels anxiety or is anxious about something it is simply a warning from their unconscious mind that they are focusing on what they don’t want or something going wrong.  Of course, they don’t understand that but you will as an adult.  Try this out for a moment.  Try and be anxious about something in your past that went really well.  You can’t!

Using the NLP Anxiety model and a variety of NLP techniques, I show kids how to start focusing on what they do want and how to let go of anxiety and fear.  The actual process for anxiety only takes a few minutes to teach them.  The sessions are fun and quick as kids are usually very quick at picking up the techniques.  Mum and Dad also get a quick lesson so that they can keep the anxiety technique going once they leave my office.

Watching a child let go of anxiety is a wonderful experience for everyone concerned, including me. 

I run these sessions either in person, over the phone or they can be done via Skype – the kids love that by the way!

NLP Circle of Empowerment

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

An important part of NLP is teaching people how they can be in control of their emotional state at any time which gives them total control over their personal empowerment.
How valuable would it be to be able to put yourself into a positive and intensely resourceful state at any time? Imagine if you could quickly change your state even if you wake up feeling ‘grumpy’ or ‘despondent’.

The following ‘Circle of Empowerment’ is adapted from ‘The Circle of Excellence’ originally developed by Dr. John Grinder co-creator of NLP. Circle of Empowerment is a basic process which can be used to elicit, create and stabilise desired emotional states in you.

Circle of Empowerment Technique
1. Imagine a circle
2. Remember specific experiences where you felt either powerful, creative, confident, excited or energised
3. Using one state at a time, see what you saw, hear what you heard and feel the feelings of being totally [whichever state you chose e.g. powerful, creative]
4. When the feelings become strong, step into the circle, wait 5 seconds (maintaining the emotion).
5. Step back out of the circle
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4, adding other different resourceful states. [The more powerful the states the better!]
7. When you step back into the space you will be able re-access the positive feelings and emotional states you placed in there.
8. You can take this imaginary circle and use it whenever you need to, or you can set up circles in specific places in your home or business (no one would even know you have done it!)
When you want to access these state, just imagine the circle on the floor in front of you and step in. You will feel the states build within 5-10 seconds.
Imagine where you could utilise the circle of empowerment? Before you give that important speech at work or maybe before you walk into a social situation? Teachers can even use this as a fun way of students gaining control of their emotions.

The above technique is a very small part of NLP ‘Anchoring’, that teach you about emotional state control and is included in the NLP Practitioner 7 day certification training. Check out www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au
