NLP Sessions - by Patricia Missakian

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is one of the most advanced technologies available today for creating human change both in individuals and groups in Business, Education and Therapy. It is a key to reaching goals and achieving excellence.
The Neurological system regulates how our bodies function. Language determines how we interface and communicate with other people and ourselves. Programming determines the kinds of models of the world we create and how we have learned to behave.
NLP is the study of human excellence, and it makes available a body of knowledge about how human beings go about making sense of their experience and interacting with others. Once something bank be described, it can be taught and learnt.
NLP is a set of guiding principles, attitudes and techniques about behavior in real life. It gives individuals choice; choice to choose their behaviours, emotional states and physical states of well-being by understanding how the mind works. It removes self-imposed limits and helps to focus on what you really want to achieve in life.
An NLP therapist will help you to understand how and why we do things and how and why we think about things in a certain way. NLP has something for everybody - the sick, the healthy, the individual or the corporation.
NLP is concerned with structure rather than content, and is non-judgmental. This means there is no need for the therapist to know the problem in greater detail which is preferred by some clients. It tends to be fast, typically resolving issues in a few brief sessions.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join in the dance!

A Typical NLP Session

Quite simply, the practitioner looks and listens to the way that you think and access memories and helps you re-pattern your thinking to achieve the results you want. A session starts with you stating what changes you want and what problems you want to overcome.
You will be working together with your practitioner to help you experience more choice in the way that you think. NLP provides very simple and effective techniques that help you to make the changes you want.
You simply sit and relax and allow your mind to explore different thought processes while the practitioner will work with you through the appropriate exercises.
There is no physical touch involved in an NLP treatment other than the touch of a knuckle in some of the techniques.
You might be given a little homework to help to adjust to the changes made during your session and to try out your new choices right away. The main integration of the newly defined neurological patterns will have taken place during the session and may continue so over time.
On a subsequent session you feed back the extent of the changes and improvements you’ve noticed after your last treatment and when ready, move on to the next change you want to make.
There is no need to spend too much time taking an extensive client’s history in view of the way NLP works. These sessions emphasise on finding solutions rather than analysing causes – and in NLP we always add choices, rather than take these away.

What for example can NLP help you with?

Releasing limiting emotions (anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, etc..…)
Resolving destructive relationship patterns (coping with break-ups, family issues)
Ridding yourself of Fears, Phobias & Addictions
Removing limiting beliefs and decisions (i.e. lack of confidence, low self esteem, etc.)
Turning your dreams into reality

In successful people we often observe that they are generally in control of their state no matter what the external circumstances, and that they have an excellent way of staying in a positive and up state. THAT CAN BE YOU, NOW!
