What NLP Is
Neuro-Linguistic Programming, usually called NLP, is a collection of methods for looking at patterns in thought, language, emotion, and behavior.
I may use NLP within a hypnotherapy session when it fits the problem we are working on. I do not treat it as a separate formula or use the same technique with everyone.
How I Use NLP
People often describe a problem in broad terms: anxiety, low confidence, procrastination, a habit, or difficulty performing under pressure. NLP can help make the pattern more specific. We may look at the images, words, expectations, or sequence of reactions that occur automatically.
Once the pattern is clearer, we can work with the part that is keeping it active. Sometimes that involves a limiting belief. Sometimes it is an emotional association, an internal conflict, or a response learned in an earlier situation.
NLP is one of several approaches I may draw from, along with hypnosis, parts work, analytical hypnotherapy, and regression techniques.
Questions About NLP and Hypnosis
Is NLP the same as hypnosis?
No. They are different approaches, although some of the methods can be used together in the same session.
Can NLP help with limiting beliefs?
It can be useful for identifying how a belief operates and what happens when it is triggered. Whether that is the right approach depends on the person and the issue.
What concerns can NLP be used for?
I may use it when working with confidence, anxiety, procrastination, motivation, communication, performance, or unwanted habits. The focus remains on the person and the pattern, not on applying a technique for its own sake.
Do you offer NLP sessions in Albuquerque?
NLP may be included in hypnotherapy sessions in Albuquerque or online through Zoom.
What does “subconscious reprogramming” mean?
The phrase is often used to describe changing an automatic pattern outside ordinary conscious awareness. I prefer to look at what the pattern is doing and what is keeping it in place rather than assume the mind can simply be reprogrammed.
