There are lots of NLP practitioners in the world, but few live and breathe NLP like I do. Not only have I studied NLP and the work of Carl Jung, Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, and the other greats, I’ve taken the principles of NLP to heart and have made them the foundation of my life.
Do you know the backstory on how this podcast started?
I listened to the podcast of a big NLP “influencer” and was stunned by some of the things he said. It was clear to me, as someone who had studied and practiced NLP, that he was way off on some things.
Cringing while listening to this guru speak was my fuel to set the record straight.
So here we are with five NLP misconceptions that don’t serve you.
- NLP is manipulative.
Well, sure, it can be. Just like a hammer, NLP is a tool that we can use for good or harm. NLP in the hands of a skilled practitioner who uses it for its intended purpose, will only use it for positive influence. Remember the ecology check? We ask, “Is it good for me? Is it good for those directly involved? Is it good for the community? Is it good for the planet?” - NLP doesn’t work.
If someone says NLP doesn’t work, they probably haven’t mastered the material. It’s like saying exercise doesn’t work. Learn it, practice it faithfully, and decide for yourself. In my experience, NLP works 100% of the time. - You can learn NLP from books.
Reading about NLP can only take you so far. NLP takes practice and real-life application. It’s a way of living and viewing the world. - NLP is therapy.
NLP is not therapy, and I am not a therapist. But NLP is therapeutic. NLP explains the reasons things are the way they are and using NLP allows shifts to happen at an unconscious level. It can be very healing indeed. - NLP is spiritual.
On its own, NLP isn’t a spiritual practice. NLP has its roots in brain science. That said, employing the principles of NLP can lead to deep spiritual transformation. And for me, because I’m deeply spiritual, I bring NLP and spirituality together.
