What is NLP and How Can It Work For You?

Feb. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- The practice of Neuro-Linguistic Programming is more widely accepted then ever before and offers an alternative treatment for human behavioural issues that are not always successfully treated by conventional medicine. Dolphin Hypnotherapy, the Bournemouth NLP specialists, help patients to deal with a multitude of issues using NLP Hypnosis and have helped countless local residents to achieve goals they previously thought were impossible.

NLP is most commonly used to examine and alter human behavioural patterns that become so far out of control as to be unhealthy, debilitating, unsociable and ultimately limiting for personal growth, promotional opportunities at work and social networking. Such patterns may include smoking, aggression, phobias, panic attacks, depression, OCD, psychosomatic illness and lack of confidence.

An experienced Bournemouth NLP practioner, Mr Roberts is the senior consultant at Dolphin Hypnotherapy. He explains, “Confidence and self esteem are key to determining the many behavioural patterns we can experience as human beings and will ultimately control what we do, how we do it and how we react. They can significantly alter the goals we want to achieve both in the work place and on a personal level.”

A severe lack of confidence is a deep inner emotion often attributed to a particular area of someone’s life and visible in outward displays of shyness, poor social skills or fear of public speaking. Poor self-esteem is where the dwindling levels of confidence have spread from one area of a person’s life to several others and in turn have had a harmful effect on self opinion.

Negatively impacting a person’s health, work, friends, family relations and marital stability, people with low self-esteem can often find themselves battling a downward spiral in several areas of their life. Severe cases of lack of self-confidence and self-esteem often manifest themselves in self-destructive behavioural patterns such as anorexia, bulimia and over eating.

All of our habits, fears and phobias are what we have allowed, over time, to establish control both over our subconscious and conscious. Getting rid of these undesirable features can be extremely difficult. A simple trip to the doctor may help some but often these patterns, fears and even obsessions are so deeply routed that conventional treatment is merely not enough.

For those caught in this cycle, booking a NLP consultation in Bournemouth, Dorset or elsewhere is the first step to tackling the root cause rather than just treating a symptom.  Behavioural patterns and neurological disorders are often associated with powerful emotions. This link can become so strong in the subconscious that the conscious is unable to disregard it, allowing is to develop over time until it overpowers rational and logical thought processes. Eating disorders are, for example, associated with the extreme pleasure or displeasure we associate with eating. There can be multiple reasons for this but by assisting a patient understand what is feeding the anxieties, fear and confidence issues, NLP can help patients learn how they can control these thoughts and emotions.

Hypnosis is a non-intrusive neuro-linguistic therapy that can reach deep into the sub-conscious, helping people understand their behaviours and effectively re-program them at the deepest level. NLP is an alternative but effective approach to the study of neurological processes and the development of both our negative and positive behavioural patterns. Promoting the belief that what has been learnt can be re-learnt, NLP therapy involves the channelling of new associations and emotions to override the old emotional connections. Understanding the essence behind the power of the mind and how we are able to take control over our thoughts and emotions is empowering to patients undergoing this type of therapy.
