Offering New Alternatives

All of us find sometimes that we repeat patterns of negative thoughts or behaviours and may find ourselves wishing that we had access to resources, which we could use to deal with situations and alleviate stagnation. We know in our hearts that such repetition does not result in positive new outcomes. Neuro Linguistic Programming is a selection of practical techniques that enables us to rediscover these flexible resources within ourselves. NLP is not brainwashing but a means of offering new alternatives which you can choose to or not to take. When utilising these new empowering alternatives, you create stronger neural pathways to encourage the habitual positive rewiring, so that the new choices become the normal and preferred way of being. For example, many people hate the thought of being stuck in a queue, which can arouse a range of negative emotions and tension. With just a small amount of NLP knowledge, you can, in those instances access positive, favourable experiences which will allow you to enjoy those moments as moments of peace in which you can recharge your batteries, create positive plans for your future or plan to do something nice for someone else. NLP in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, has something for everyone in that it's applicable to all human interaction. It essentially guides people in using the brains own language more effectively. For example, NLP techniques can be used to drain away the emotion attached to past events, transforming the meaning and freeing the person to let go of past troubles that still bother them in the present. What is truly empowering is that such techniques depend entirely on the strong resources and strengths within the client. NLP techniques bring to the clients awareness that they have these resources. Once a person learns how to access them and that they can be accessed, the impact goes far beyond the initial therapy session and initial problem being dealt with. By: Gemma Bailey
