Hi Keith, I’ve changed ‘Every Behaviour Has a Positive Intention’ a wee bit for me and my students. Sometimes it’s just great to put it all on the line so I changed it to: Every Behaviour Has a Positive Intention FOR SELF. This came about from a discussion with a fantastic NLPer Trainer and he was attempting to reconcile ‘child molestation’ with ‘Positive Intention’. I’m guessing here you well know about whom the discussion was so when I added in the last two words it all fell in line perfectly.

Hugs~Margie Anne

For me, internalizing the NLP presuppostions was possibly the most important part of my growth as a practitioner. With them as a sort of mental background, so much more is possible for me, whether working with oneself or others.

The presuppositions to me are part of the great simplicity that underlies the seeming complexity I saw at Practitioner level. The more I learned about NLP, and the more I “wired in” useful ways of thinking like these presups, the simpler everything became. Kinda like magic.
