How does NLP work for me? 
What can I expect?

 What you can expect:

I offer a version of NLP that is grounded in the deepest respect for your experience.  How will our session ‘feel’?  It will feel exactly like what it is… you and I having a very personal, intimate conversation about what matters most to you. 

Einstein said “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”  So it seems that we need a true Change of Mind in order to truly and permanently affect a Change in our Experience. 

But how do you change what can be as transparent as ‘mind’ or ‘belief’?  That is the specialty of NLP.  NLP can help us, you and I together, to locate the very thing that is Stopping You from having What You Want.  And working within the premises (called ‘presuppositions’) of NLP, we know that You have in you all that you need to produce your Desired State (all of the emotional, physical, spiritual resources)… … and your system already knows how to make That active and alive in your life and experience. 

Be assured that nothing of value to you, to your system, is ever taken away. As I work within a ‘pure NLP’ model, the aim is NEVER to go in and “rip out the problem”.  Some practitioners actually focus exactly there.  I know that the “problem” has served you in some way, reliably and continuously (otherwise it simply would not persist).  Honoring that, we retain the Value that your system has been protecting while we simply look to change the way that it has been getting fulfilled.   

New choices are provided to your system (your system which has up until now had a death-grip on your old experience).  These new choices become so compelling to your system that you HAVE the Change that you Want, AND you Don’t have to Remember to be Different!!   

SO… Explore. Be curious. Ask questions.  Come to your own conclusions about how NLP will help you.

How and why NLP helps you make your change? 

How do we, when we are looking through the Filters of our own Beliefs and Decisions, SEE that which is filtered out?   We want a new, a different experience.  Yet all of our attempts result in our old, persistent experience simply seeming more permanent and more unchangeable.  How do we punch our way out of this paper bag!? 

As human beings our current experience is only limited by our previous decisions.  Decisions made can be unmade, or revised and upgraded.  Choices made that may have even been life saving, but occurring persistently NOW, are the limitations you fight against.  You proclaim how much you don’t want them.  You TRY to change! Yet SOMEHOW they become ‘stucker’ and ‘stucker’!    

This couldn’t be your choice!!  Well, in a way it is AND it is not.  It was a decision made by you, but by a younger you.  It is a decision that has long since slipped into the unexamined category of “Belief”.  It is no longer directly seen, it is certainly not challenged, and so, it continues to operate – surely, effectively, reliably… according to the ‘agreement’ that was entered into by the parts of you that needed/wanted to survive in just The Right Way, Back Then.   

The positive intention behind that long-ago decision is still appropriate. However the positive intention has never had a hardware, software, nor context upgrade.  So it continues to do what it has always done the way that it has always done it. 

NLP provides the practitioner with the tools and skills to be able to notice where your system is stuck, where your programming is assuring you of reliable (though unwanted) results.

Together we can upgrade the way that this Positive Intention automatically operates in your life.   NLP (done well) retains the value of the positive intention in your behavior and allows you to get What You Want, in a way that you want it! 

SO – is this for you? 

To borrow an checklist from NLP Marin:
