Although NLP theory presents several ways to learn and get in charge of the workings of the mind, it also puts an unfair emphasis on communication and personal development. NLP is much more than that, especially when combined with Time Line Therapy®.
The important argument here is the difference between theory and practical applications. Even the creators of NLP did not ever claim that their model of the mind’s operation is necessarily “true”, but that it works. And I would have to wholeheartedly agree with this. I personally don’t care about the “truth”. There are as many “truths” out there as there are people – and science has demonstrated this by the observer effect. The observer effect says that the act of observation of a situation, behavior, etc. will produce changes in the phenomenon being observed.
So, sitting home and debating the “truth” will get you nowhere. Doing something that produces results and changes the reality in your life, your family’s life and ultimately society’s life is finally all that matters. (NLP Master Practitioners, I hope you will recognize here the conflict between Values Levels 4 and Values Level 5 – theory for the sake of theory and quantifiable results).
Whether NLP (or Time Line Therapy® as a matter of fact) is really Mind Power or not they surely are a successful enterprise. You only have to look around the world to notice that NLP has grown to be an international phenomenon, generating countless websites, books, and training courses. Time Line Therapy® is exploding in its usage as a habitual part of NLP around the world.
But let’s stay a little more on NLP alone. Being in use since the 1970’s NLP is based on the premise that given a certain set of excellent behaviors a person is producing, these behaviors can be elicited, and adopted by others to produce the same results. In translation this means that if you see someone really good at what they do, NLP has the techniques to show you how to find out what they’re doing in their head, so you can adopt the same model and become excellent yourself.
There Are Many Ways of Learning NLP On Line or direct from short courses to longer and more complex trainings.
You Should Always Choose What Works Best for You
While traditional education involves the presence in the classroom (in this instance training room) the modern technology through video downloads, file sharing, etc allows interested people to study at home, and still make full benefit from what they learn.
NLP is not magic. NLP is not something that someone does to you and all of a sudden you have a moment of enlightenment. NLP is something that only allows you to 1. Discover what talents you have but never put to use and 2. Gives you a set of skills and tools to manage much better the difficulties life presents you with.
My favorite part of NLP is actually Time Line Therapy® (OK, OK and Values from the Master Practitioner). I find them absolutely indispensable in my day-by-day life. Problems happen to all of us. We all encounter problems. And as much as we don’t like having problems…as long as we are alive we will encounter them. I chose to face the problems with resources rather than feeling lost and hopeless.
Once you learn NLP and Time Line Therapy® you can do them yourself, but if you’re not getting the results you would like, or you have a particularly confusing issue and you don’t even know how to think about it, consider consulting with a highly trained, skilled and experienced NLP and Time Line Therapy® practitioner.
