Here is a technique that initially I heard of in New York used with patients suffering with mental health issues. The process stimulated an abstract communication with the unconscious and allowed hypnotic interventions to be used.

I was working with a woman (32) who had suffered from depression and severe eating disorders for over 9 years. When introduced to me she was very reluctant to share information and open up. I asked her to draw how she felt now … and how she wants to feel. The two pictures below are what she presented to me on our following session.

This picture represents how she feels now.

This represents how she wants to feel.

The pictures became a focus for her to express concepts and feelings she had and found difficult to express in words. The state she must have been in whilst creating these would be a state of trance and focus. I find this technique introduces the client to a part of themselves that has some significance and qualities useful for them to create solution states.

Each picture she was able to talk about and explain in detail to me and she also surprised herself.

So Sunny this is just one technique you can be aware of to loosen your clients map of the world.

NLP and the perception of it is changing to be more current and attractive to a wider audience. There are specific trends which are obvious and observable that in some way reverse the intention of taking NLP trainings manifesting in the business world. All past Metropolis delegates are welcome to join us at Weetwood Hall 24th 25th 26th March 2011, where the first day will be an introduction to the foundations of NLP and the following days will be application and skill building.

Never has there been a time where communication is important as now. Knowing how to make contact at deeper levels of consciousness gets more sustainable and significant results. Hypnosis has been primarily a therapeutic tool up till recently when many organisations and governments have adopted protocols of hypnosis mapping the form to advertising, propaganda, education both online and offline. The present government have invested and support talking therapies of which hypnosis is the core. Understanding what and how hypnosis works gives you the edge. Many individuals are experiencing change currently with difficulty how to adapt to multiple contexts. Those who are trained and proficient in using the patterns can help individuals make pivotal change easier.

It is a historical tale of a movement that is influencing human communication and has been for several decades. Erickson got results no others in the psychotherapeutic field could achieve and medical professionals would make journeys to meet him to see him work. His personal life had may twists and turns that built his resolve to understand human nature and the unconscious mind. He played an important part in the growth of NLP in the 70s when the two co creators (of NLP) modeled him and his work. Knowing the background to Erickson gives depth and confidence to individuals who learn the structure and form of what he created.

Hypnotic Skill Building

Building skills that are natural and effortless require knowledge and practice. There are ways to accelerate learning and skill levels using the protocols you will study. To become a master at what you do first you must know where you are and how you learn. All learning happens at an unconscious level and this is  level you will be trained to access throughout the program.

Ericksonian Concepts

Milton was responsible for several concepts that when explored and mastered give you the control to use as and when you want. The form of these concepts make change and decisions simple. The structure of the processes are logical and result in outcomes you may not have thought of consciously. Been aware of these concepts also helps your clients process in a way unique to their personal thinking.

Hypnotic Language

Language is a key part of Ericksons work and no story would be complete without words. Language (words) is attached to memories and states locked in the unconscious knowing how to help clients unlock and release ideas and decisions without resistance is where the Milton Model language patterns assit. Also there is an art on how to use language and deliver it giving added instruction or suggestion implicitly.

NLP is Modeling                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Modeling  = the process of assimilating unconsciously the patterns of an individual who has been recognised as one who achieves excellence.

NLP is the study of subjective experience

NLP is a way of thinking that is different … not better than any other form, just different.
