NLP Practitioner Module 4: Trance and metaphor

The NLP Practitioner series uses edited video footage of the taught content of a 20 day programme held over 10 x 2 day monthly modules.

This Module 4 looks at how we can use language, with day 1 exploring ways of accessing our unconscious resources, and day 2 exploring the use of stories and metaphor.

The series begins with the Foundations Programme (Modules 1 & 2), introducing the principles that underpin NLP, and the foundation skills and techniques. People new to NLP are recommended to watch these modules before progressing further.

Each subsequent Module of the Practitioner series focuses on a particular topic.

Module 3 introduces the L (Linguistic) of NLP, looking at how we make sense of the world through the language we use, and to challenge unhelpful thinking with questions.

This Module 4 stays with the language theme, with day 1 exploring ways of accessing our unconscious resources, and day 2 exploring the use of stories and metaphor. Content includes ....

~ What we mean by the Conscious and Unconscious minds, and trance

~ Trance and the Milton Model

~ Reframing

~ Logical Levels

~ Life metaphors

~ Therapeutic stories

Module 5 looks at time and timelines, how negative memories from the past can be released, and includes the NLP phobia cure technique.

Module 6 (1 day taught content only) includes some additional anchoring techniques. Day 2, (not included on the video), involves a full day integration exercise, where participants work in threes practising what they have learnt so far.

Module 7 is an introduction to Modelling, the methodology that underpins NLP. It includes the Spelling Strategy, and the SWISH technique (an approach to deal with unwanted habitual behaviour) as examples of techniques that have come from modelling.

Module 8 introduces the Disney Creativity Strategy, leads into 'Parts' as a metaphor for unconscious decisions and patterns, and introduces techniques for working with Parts.

Module 9 explores Beliefs, and ways of identifying, working with, and changing limiting beliefs.

Module 10 (not included in the video) is the integration and certification weekend, where participants work in threes practising their skills with each other.

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is a very effective approach to psychology, communication and performance, based on the study of people who naturally do things well. Together, the Foundation Diploma and Practitioner video series share many of the frameworks and techniques that make NLP such a useful approach.

This video series is suitable for people who have already experienced some training, or watched the Foundations content. Those with experience can revisit the material, fill in any gaps, deepen their understanding, and perhaps find more ways of explaining NLP to others.

While the programme will help you to develop your understanding and knowledge of NLP, for skill development, there is no substitute for the opportunities to practice and get feedback that live training courses offer.
