My good friend and college Kim Bull of Adventurous Minds has uploaded a you-tube video of part of his ‘NLP for Sports excellence’ training about how we as humans process information.
Kim is an excellent NLP Trainer who incorporates fun and relevancy within all the learning and discovery methods he facilitates.
This video describes in very understandable ways the linguistic model concepts of Generalisation, Distortion and Deletion.
Salve ( no this is not a viagra advert ), its the traditional Roman greeting.
See, we all have our views and perspectives. We all have our ways and opinions of what is right and wrong, acceptable and what we believe in or at least believe should be.
NLP, that archaic and unsubstantiated word is one methodology of, amongst others, of getting someone elses perspective on things. If you don’t, it is a way of proving yourself right no matter what the cost. Preaching from a chair perhaps.
The real world is very different, the real world is where we come from…
Here is a short video, unearthing what can happen when our world view is so fixed that we ( I smile when I write we ) construct and interpolate what someone else is attempting to convey.
This is an exert from one of our IntegrityNLP practitioner training in 2008.
Harry Knox of IntegrityNLP is presenting “Why Brief Therapy is still too long” at TyneMet college, Newcastle upon Tyne.
This presentation will see Harry’s own unique insights from over 30 years experience working as a mental health professional.

WARNING! This is extremely controversial!
This is currently one of the most popular internet videos available.
I post the link because - it is also an excellent demonstration of Beliefs and Values in action. It may be a fake. But it has currently been watched by over four and a half MILLION people.
Irrespective of its authenticity, lets assume this is just cinema. A projection of actors beliefs and values. An example is worth more than one thousand written words …
What is educational are the many Beliefs and Values that are conveyed in the conversation.
What may be an even more powerful example of beliefs in action is your own, you own responses to this audio. But DO note the end of the audio when the ‘prank’ all becomes clear!
This will lead nicely into the next NLP Demystified post ‘Model of The World’
One of the recurrent themes in any excellent NLP Practitioner course , or great application of therapy is to create the context for your own or your clients beneficial change. Another description for this is Reframing. Reframing is about changing how experiences are being perceived.
This clearly dovetails into the concepts of Description, Interpretation and Evaluation, three of the most important distinctions you can make, now,
One of the most thought provoking and exceptional people of the 21st century is Robert Anton Wilson. Bob Wilson has written many many books on many many varied subjects. One particularly excellent book ‘Quantum Psychology‘ gives us a wonderful example of these types of so very necessary distinctions.
The example cited comes in the form of the work of Albert Ellis. Here are two examples of less than positive and enabling statements about a persons ‘reality’. In NLP terms a seemingly impoverished model of the world, in every day language an interpretation of actuality.
By simply reformulating the verbal description, the complex equivalents and cause effects diffuse, some generalisations, distortions and deletions are alleviated BUT even more importantly the distinctions between descriptions, evaluations and interpretations become clearer.
All NLP and therapy is essentially reframing. This is just yet another way to make it so.
