I have approached several university faculties to set up a test to demonstrate the effectiveness of NLP for phobic response. I use NLP regularly on clients and have dealt with phobias often. The fastest cure was 4 minutes. The longest took 8 hours.
Every faculty I approach dismisses this out of hand. I’ve come to the conclusion that the funding structure actually works against proving it. Can it really be that they prefer to get funding to study phobics, rather than see them “cured” quickly?
Maybe NLP is the product of and resource for deep personal observation, but maybe it’s the humanist’s “spirituality”, too. Anyone have any thoughts about that?
Cool! I like how you described with your example what NLP does. I mean by the example of if a person gets up early in the morning. Cool Stuff. I believe that wealthy people have certain patterns that the rest of the population don’t have but if some one poor wanted to be wealthy all he/she had to do was study the patterns, thought process and habits of the wealthy individual. I don’t know for sure but my minds suggest that it could happen. Thanks for your comment.
NLP-NEURO- Nervous system through which the experience is received and processed through the five senses. LINGUISTIC- Language and nonverbal communication systems through which neural representations are coded,ordered and given meaning. PROGRAMMING-The ability to organize our communication and neurological systems to achieve specific desired goals and results.
No…This is not scientology…This is all about modelling excellence…For example, if a person gets up early in the morning by 5 am daily on a consistent basis, using NLP you can find out how that person did that on a consistent basis…That is, what are his thought processes, how did he use his physiology, what are his beliefs etc…Once you find that you can take that and do it for yourself.. You will also produce the same kind of result similar to the person who did that earlier..
The point is, nothing makes empiricism special, but the challenge to you is…what is the preferred alternative? Empiricism is special simply because it is the best we’ve got. It is better than falling victim the the various biases and fallacies that can influence unsophisticated reasoning.
This is not to say that empiricism cannot err or that there are not truths that are true despite the fact that science cannot verify them.
The point is, the use of empirical methodology (especially in the behavioral sciences) is fraught with problems. “Assessing whether something works”? According to what criteria? As you mentioned earlier, many will verify that prayer works reliably, but it doesn’t sound like you accept that. What makes scientific empiricism so special?
What is “mobbing bossing”? (Now everybody will break out the meta-model ;). I suspect something like “circle of power” could help, or get you fired… 🙂
It interest me how skeptical people are of NLP. The fact that everyone who uses it claims that it’s the most effective system that they’ve ever utilized, and that everyone who has experienced it (from somebody who knows what they’re doing) has had positive results, that half of what Derren Brown does is NLP-based(*wink*), should be indicitive of the fact that it works.
ya i think this is where thinking goes wrong, your right that we all create our own subjective states but i think Objective mind states can be created when we rationally construct our thoughts and feelings based on evidence which is what leads then to facts. I think we can apply this in all areas of thinking .

Is NLP rooted in the ancient mystery religions? Is it something kinda like what some ancient magic was all about?
It did. I learned something new or a new way to see it. So thank you for posting your comment.
😉
Thank you…I hope that i made some difference in your life…God bless you…

No it’s not.
They don’t look into the nervous system at all.
lol, so off
Over all NLP is all about how both verbal and nonverbal communications affect our nervous system…

But it has done pretty darn good I’d say.
