That’s the truth, Bill. Of course, “truth” is another nominalization.

‘High Tech Hypnosis’… I like that!

I wonder if there’s an ipod version or is that just another trance inducing gadget.

They’re both Nominalizations.

It’s a lot easier than all of that: Tell client: pretend this is a big movie theater, etc.

What If

Ask client to close eyes and go inside to find out how that feeling is occurring (you already knew from eye accessing cues but client didn’t know yet)

All NLP is trance, it is just not officially induced. Go on to the fabulous world of Nested Loops and Voila.

I really did not ‘get this’ at my first training for some time while there although it should have occurred to me. I usually practiced with a lady that spoke Spanish so she could do the class exercises and she said in Spanish: “Margie, they just sorta ‘fall’ into trance. Don’t you think?”
Margie: Quick DS — Ohhhh, you are ever so correct. Thank you!

A skillful practitioner of NLP will always evoke a certain kind of trance, when helping people to associate with all the possible submodalities in their goal or resource. Give enough time and silence, calibrate well, give helpfull suggestions in the meantime and a trance will occur. Especially when working spatially, one of the good reasons for working standing in circles, walking from anchor to anchor. This creates a strong feeling of experiencing the goal or the resource in the present, thus triggering the subconscious to focus on the new goal and resource, as if it is already there… and there it is! In this trance!

Mmmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmmm, since Nick wrote what Bandler said in ’03, I’ll write what Richard said about NLP in 2010 “High Tech Hypnosis”. That fits my model of the world quite well.

Of course Bandler and Grinder studied and modeled folks other than Erickson. Some didn’t consider that they were using any form of hypnosis.

Since Bandler and Grinder modeled therapist that use hypnosis to find out what made them great at what they do…it is safe to say that NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) is another skillful use of hypnosis (if used by a skilled practictioner) I was around and looking at the material as it was coming out…I considered it hypnosis under a different, but branded name.

From my experience hypnosis is more relaxing but NLP seems to be much more effective.
