Twenty people have chosen to attend the Excellence In Therapy workshop in Newcastle this coming weekend. This unique workshop is sponsored by IntegrityNLP.

The people who are attending range across Therapists, Hypnotherapists, NHS workers, Psychologists, Mental Health Professionals, NLP Practitioners, NLP Master Practitioners, even NLP Trainers.

The workshop is specifically about applying NLP in therapeutic settings and is delivered by Andrew T. Austin who Bill O’Hanlon ( brief therapy ) has described as the “British Milton Erickson”.

This workshop will cover topics like Guilt, Shame, Anxiety, Depression and will look at real therapeutic interventions from an NLP and neurological perspective.

BUT, that’s not all. Andy is also going to be sharing valuable information on building your practice.

If you already have some NLP knowledge and experience you might have tumbled that a great deal of NLP is about changing states.  You can package it and repackage it, call it new names ( 4G super nlp, XXX-code, i-nlp ) you get the picture right!

Sometimes I like to read books for the hell of it. One such book was Charles Bronsons Autobiography.  A very interesting read to say the least.  Bronson is one of the UK most securely held prisoners.

One part of the book tells us how Bronson ‘calms’ himself down.  He does this by putting his head in very cold water and keeping it there for as long as he can.

Now if anyone has every tried this and I have, the state shift is really quite dramatic. I can also vouch for the mammalian diving reflex!  All precautions for you own safety should you try this as I have been told you can drown in a teaspoon of water!

Anyroad, so how could this be used?

one class of examples is pattern interruption.

If you are stopping smoking and you are doing pretty good but you get a craving and it builds and builds…

Some states are very simple and have common every day names such as: angry, loving, dissappointed. Other states can be complex combinations of feelings and moods that may have no name but are very familiar to us.Many people think that their state is something they are stuck with, in reality they are easy to change and choose. States and state management is a fundamental part of NLP.

In the next NLP Café meeting on May 20th we will explore getting in and out of states. In the first part of this practice group we will use a process to tease apart unresourceful states so that they are easier to change. In second part we will work on creating tailor made states for use on any occasion.

Join Andy Hunt and Nigel Hetherington to get in, and out of, a bit of a state at

St Oswald’s Hospice Training Centre, Gosforth, Newcastle on
Tuesday May 20th between 7pm & 9pm.
