I joined Integrated Changeworks in 2020, where I am involved in ongoing training in NLP.

NLP is a way of helping the client to think differently about their past history and to help them to develop a new way of processing their experiences.

Past traumas that still feel upsetting become just something that happened. Repeated negative behaviour patterns can be identified and re-evaluated so that they cease to be triggered.

It helps to make life much calmer and more positive. My clients find that they cope so much better with whatever life has to throw at them.

In SFH we tend to look forward to the clients preferred future in a very positive way. Talking about upsetting trauma is often unhelpful and simply re-vivifies all the old emotions. NLP techniques provide a way of dealing with past traumas, and it can be done content free. The client does not have to talk about what happened to them. You still have the memory, but it becomes just something that happened.

NLP techniques enable shifts in the way clients think. Negative behaviours learned in childhood can be very unhelpful as an adult. You are a different person now so those childhood behaviours can be let go.

SFH and NLP work well together in a very complimentary way. Creating the positivity to move forward and providing a safe way to reassess the past.
