What is NLP?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming was created as a model of successful people, including therapists, business practitioners, and communicators and has since become known as “The Study of Human Excellence.”

In NLP we study how language impacts the brain and how we can use it to change our perceptions of reality. Used in therapeutic, business, sales, and interpersonal settings, NLP has become one of the most sought after tools for personal growth and development. Many hypnotherapists study NLP in order to enhance their skills.

What is HNLP?

The style of NLP that we teach is called Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Psychology. Humanistic NLP integrates quantum physics, modern neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality into NLP. For those interested in such fields, it is a wonderfully positive and pro-active way of working with yourself or other people.

Having a strong backbone of neuroscience aids tremendously in your understanding of the techniques, how people work, and gives you a great way of explaining things to your clients. We believe that certified HNLP courses are currently the only NLP courses adding this amount of neuroscience to the course.

As a hypnosis center, we teach HNLP because it empowers hypnotists, therapists, coaches, nurses, and others both in the helping professions and in business, to help change and transform others and themselves.

This Dual-Certification 8-Day Course will include all of the standard curriculum for a full NLP Practitioner training as well as the HNLP aspects taught in the course.

NLP Patterns taught in the course

A number of different NLP skills and patterns will be covered in this course, including:

• The Swish
  This submodality-based technique can help someone to stop smoking, quit biting their nails, develop powerful motivation and much more. You will learn advanced strategies for working with the Swish that will cut your learning curve in half.
  
• The Visual Squash
  Learn how to expertly collapse negative emotions into each other in this useful technique that can shortcut years of therapy! Learn why the technique works when it does, and why the way it is usually done is less than effective.
  
• Anchoring
  Many hypnotists are taught basic anchoring skills as part of some training they attend – touching two fingers together for instance. You will be instructed in advanced anchoring techniques that will broaden your understanding, streamline your sessions and make it easy for you to guide clients through varying emotional states.
  
• Eye Accessing Cues
  These cues tell us what type of information a person is accessing and can tell you quite a lot about what is happening inside someone, even when they don’t say it!
  
• Strategies
  Strategies are the “how we do what we do” in human behavior, from getting ourselves motivated to work out, to choosing a significant other. Detailed information on how to elicit and use strategies is the first thing cut out of non-standard NLP courses such as 4 to 7 day “fast” courses. Once you understand how to use these skills, you will be able to make your sessions shorter and at the same time raise your rates because you will be much more effective.
  
• Integrating NLP with Hypnotherapy
  Get many options for using your NLP skills in a hypnotherapy session. Learn what most hypnotherapists don’t know about applying these techniques in their offices.
  
• The Milton Model
  Milton H Erickson’s best work was distilled by NLP’s founders in the early days, and what resulted was called “The Milton Model.” This detailed model of 19 different language patterns breaks down the exact techniques that Erickson used over and over again in his career.
  
• The Meta Model
  Early in NLP’s history, a model was created to explain what made therapists at the time (especially Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir) good at what they do. This is called the Meta Model and will enhance your ability to get specific information out of the people you talk to, as well as recognize common thought distortions that cause human suffering.
  
• Belief Change
  Change a limiting belief to a more positive one. Increase your self-esteem by holding in your mind only those things that serve you.
  
• Phobia Model
  Release a strong fear or trauma using this dissociative technique. Responsible for many TV appearances, the phobia model can help a person transcend their fear of spiders, snakes, elevators, bridges, you name it!
  
• Spelling Strategies
  Were you a champion at the Spelling Bee, or simply happy they let you stay in school? Participants will learn strategies for spelling that can make you a master speller.
  
• And More!
