i what as much feedback as i can get i am an nlp master pactitioner and have been using nlp for 5 years and i am just starting to get a lot of enquiries from smokers wanting to stop and would love to receive any and all comments that will be helpfull to me and ultimately my clients

What I mean by this is as I’m sure you can understand by knowing about this method more you can understand when people are going into this mode. I look back [oo] and realise educated people are consistently using psychological methods to overcome and override every situation. In London you can’t even go out the door without someone trying on psychological tests. NLP is a safe way i think of knowing when to engage in this type of stuff. Again it is an easy-way of knowing before the chapter unfolds. Hindsight I guess.

I have been paying close attention to how I mess myself up in a particular situation. I basically hear commands…its my voice, its panicky, its rapid, Its almost as if I am part of a SWAT team on a mission and the leader is giving commands to ensure my survival. I don’t make any pictures for that particular scenario. It has become highly automatic and very very powerful. It’s like I had to obey the commands at any cost. I realized that this is the same strategy I use to cope with any unfamiliar, strange, alien scenarios. I am trying now to shift submodalities around with little or no luck. Any specific techniques, tactics on how to develop the ability to shift auditory submodalities would be really helpful. Also please let me know if any other techniques other than submodality shifts would help. There are n number of routines for strategies involving visual modality and I also understand from the advices from the thread that majority of the members here have had experience in solving problems involving visual modality. I am really interested in the experience of anyone who have had the same kind of strategy involving auditory commands that was not serving them well in certain situations and they did something to change that. Thank you very much in advance.

There are many stories about great hypnotists that used their skills to convince other people by doing what they do best, hypnosis.

There’s a story about Milton Erickson and how they were going to strike him off the medical register until he had sat down and talked to them at great length. After that they decided not to strike him off.

When you’re in the situation where convincing someone of something is of paramount importance, for whatever result you want to get, how do you think about the communication you’re offering?

Do you plan out what you’re going to say, what stories to tell, what states to elicit and so on, or do you do it ad-hoc, in the moment..perhaps something else?

How do you think about what you’re aiming for and how do you ensure you’re working towards that through your communication?

A very artful denominalization. Maybe not particularly useful, but very beautiful. (Also, how do you embed youtube videos here???)

Does anyone trained with Carl? Free NLP course advertised on Gumtree?
