NLP is a very practical approach to human behavior. Initially created in the 1970's by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, NLP is a methodology for modeling excellence. It's primary focus is on how to operate your own mind and body to create what you want in life.
The discoveries made from the methodology of NLP have led to techniques that are used in business, education, and health, as well as therapy (and we've had participants attend our trainings from all of these various fields). It is often said that NLP has made the greatest contribution to the behavioral sciences in the last 30 years.
Throughout this training you will uncover and work with the processes that precede behavior. You will learn the very fabric of thought and action. And you will learn a set of skills that can be the foundation for all the goals in your life.
Before the development of NLP, we had explanations as to why we act in certain ways. Since NLP, we have the understanding of how we act in those ways.
Become a Certified NLP Practitioner and become your very best!

Hypnosis and Pain Management - Certification Course - Live on Zoom
2021-03-03 at 16:28 Pacific Time
The pain management course is excellent. Watching the sessions with Jeff and Carol really emphasized the different ways emotions can influence what we feel physically. It was amazing to see how Jeff's overall thinking became more flexible and open as his sessions went on. He had such a huge change in how he saw the habits and routines that were causing him so much misery, and he didn't seem to have any idea that was related to his sessions - although he loved the sessions and realized they were decreasing his pain. (I have noticed more mental flexibility in my own life since starting hypnotherapy sessions also, and I really don't know if I'd have made the connection if I weren't also a student of hypnotherapy - at least not to the changes that aren't directly related to what I've discussed in sessions). Jeff did relate the pain improvement to his sessions though. Carol experienced something similar overall, but it seemed like she made the connection (albeit not right away) more clearly. Perhaps that has to do with her suggestibility versus Jeff's. Or maybe it was just that Jeff's life situation issues were less obvious to him.

The Mythic and Archetypal Imagery workshop was really a lot of fun. I was disappointed when the day was ending, even though it was 8:30 PM Eastern time. It's fascinating how the subconscious uses symbols to reveal and move past all kinds of issues. One of the most interesting parts was watching people having no idea of why an image or setting appeared or what it meant, then when they investigated further, sometimes by asking questions, sometimes by bringing in assistance (or both), it became clear and everything came together. I experienced that myself in an advanced Imagery practice the day before, and I'm glad I did because although I believed in other people's experiences, it seemed like something not available to me. And something I wish I'd brought up in the Sunday class was that the day before, in the Advanced Imagery "this and that" practice (not the real name!), I had a book image (which a lot of people had the next day) - I was curious if anyone else had book images in Advanced Imagery as well. Mine was a human-sized ancient dusty gorgeous leather book, which was along the lines of what the Mythic experiences were also. Definitely a common theme.

Incredible day of Imagery! Both relaxing and enlightening. I benefited from it personally and professionally. The mythic journeys are symbolic and imaginative so much so that I personally don’t feel as attached to some things I’m dealing with which makes it easier to apply creative solutions and see it through a truly new perspective. The Witch in The Woods was transformative for me and I also know exactly what clients mythic journeys will be great for! Thank you Cheryl!

Advanced Imagery is a truly vital class. It feels really good to have so many ideas for helping people who feel stuck for all the various possible reasons. I'm really glad I signed up for the full Therapeutic Imagery program at this time instead of waiting to do it later (because I was doing NLP still).
