Mutiny at the Asylum!

Alternative healing through NLP changes the face of therapy forever

Our culture is changing forever now that the use of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is becoming increasingly wide spread.  I ask the question:  Could NLP eventually become so common that it is used by mental patients not just to treat, but to cure themselves?

I think this is possible.  In fact it may already be taking place albeit in a very small way.

Unlike traditional forms of therapy where childhood events are endlessly discussed as causation for present circumstances NLP is solution focused.  It does not require disclosure of events only discussion of how they are thought about.  Sometimes even less than that.

When properly executed NLP doesn’t foster dependence on the therapist but instead empowers the client by drawing out existing resources they probably didn’t realise they had in themselves.

Because of the ease and speed of training people with no therapeutic backgrounds can deal with serious issues themselves, either helping someone else or helping themselves literally CHANGE THEIR MIND.

I’m not saying I agree they should treat mental health issues – my opinion is that NLP should be integrated into our mainstream treatment systems for the safety of the public which so far it has only occurred to a limited degree.

We have people trained in NLP and nothing else gleefully taking clients for all kinds of issues.

Let’s compare… your average psychologist or psychiatrist has many years of extensive training, clinical supervision, codes of ethics that mean you are fairly safe in terms of exploitation and confidentiality.

*The treatment involves diagnosis using a DSM IV, a manual which will help categorize your symptoms, and also looks at your families mental health issues as well as your childhood.

*The information collected may be gathered elsewhere and by an insurance company somewhere to decline cover, or bump up your premiums (as an example).

*The treatment could take years and if you take psychiatric medication there are some serious side effects to consider.

Alternative Healing with NLP

It is really simple.  With no other training the person using NLP with their clients can’t compete with all the above…….except in ONE key area…..

RESULTS!

Yes, the results accomplished with the use of NLP are fast.  They are permanent (ok, if you really really try hard you can change back, it is your brain).  And seeing someone for treatment with NLP doesn’t go on your insurance record…so they will never know and to be honest if you are properly treated they don’t need to.

Coming up:  More on the use of NLP including training pitfalls, association blunders (I won’t name names…..yet) and devious tactics you should be aware of BEFORE you see someone for NLP.
