So, you may be wondering what it’s like to have an NLP session, if you’ve never had one.

In the 2-hour session we have together, most of it will be spent talking. That’s the “linguistic” aspect of Neuro Linguistic Programming. In the same way that the statement “don’t think of a pink elephant” just made you conjure some sort of internal representation of an elephant, we’ll be using language to create internal representations that shift the meaning you are making about your life.  There are a wide variety of tools and techniques used in NLP to shift those meanings.

In the time together, I may have you walk around a little, I may instruct you to look in certain places, or I may squeeze your arm at some point.  Emotion may come up, but NLP is not intended as a cathartic technique, so we won’t be yelling or hitting pillows. It actually looks quite normal to an outside observer.

You may leave the session with some new insight, where you understand your life better. You may leave the session slightly befuddled, but without any major epiphanies. That’s fine, when shifts happen at a subconscious level, it isn’t always obvious at conscious levels.

Whatever changes occur tend to integrate over a period of time, usually between 2 days and 2 weeks. It varies from person to person. But the nice thing about this methodology is that you don’t have to work hard to be different. Your life just unfolds in a new way.
