Using NLP is "magic".
Why ?
Magic is, to sum it up,
the art of deceiving an audience by doing something they don't have the keys to understand.
It certain cases it's just wonderful. Well, it was *conceived* to
help others.
So yes, you can communicate easier, you are socially intelligent, you can overcome the obstacles of language, that's awesome.
But what people who know NLP criticize is things related to SS and anchoring.
Anchoring
is subliminal. The target has *no way* to
know what you are doing.
The Door routine, or the October Man Sequence* (I'm surprised no one mentionned them) *are* evil.
It's not just a gimmick to look wild and dangerous :
You manipulate someone's mind *against* himself.
Against his reason, his will in the strong sense, because he will not be able to
think clearly about it.
So please, NLP users, don't get on your high horses defending this wonderful technique.
It's not *the NLP in general* that's criticized :
It's the way some people use this knowledge.
No means no.
And as a NLP user, you should know when she really means it, even though you can make her change her mind.
'few. Fifth post here and I'm already creating enemies

The Door is creating in the target a very bad feeling about leaving the room, though it could be used more gently to help someone too involved to get over you. It could.
The October Man is just creating a mental order in one's mind.
