hey man ...it's interesting that your involved in NLP and apply it to situations outside an office. Few questions on my mind regarding NLP.
One: I've stuttered since i was 4....the act of blocking or repeating "m m m milk" has obviously become a STROOONNGGG negative anchor in my mind. Since i've read about reframing beliefs/anchors....i'm wondering if NLP would actually work with something as solidified as stuttering. This is something that has ruled my life in a sense....if i'm more fluent my day will be awesome...if i'm not ..my day will be miserable. So it is a STRONG anchor in my mind, do you think that something this subconscious/ingrained can possibly ever be "reframed" by an NLP expert?
Two: How exactly do you apply rapport enchancing NLP techniques in every day conversation. I've read that EACH and EVERY word someone uses can be a huge indicator about that person..if that's true....how do you go about eliciting/reading/assuming information about someone and therefore apply it to enhance a "connection"?
You've said that you constantly use NLP techniques on yourself to enchance inner game....what specifics do you do regarding visualizations, reframing beliefs..etc? Don't you have to simply KNOW/BELIEVE NLP works or does the act itself prove it's validity ?
Thanks you for reading!
Yes I definatly believe that NLP if used properly could help with stuttering.
You see we have been taught our whole lives that change takes time... but thats simply not true, change happens in an instant... a smoker quits smoking in that insant when he puts down his last cigarette... It's the preparation for change that can take time.
The great thing about NLP is it has the potential to speed up that preparation process dramatically.
The things that I do in my everyday conversation, are primarily Pacing, Leading and Conditioning... I control my tone, vocal pace and energy level to create the emphasis I'm looking for... Once I've build some rapport I Lead thier tone, vocal pace and energy level. Also I condition them by using specific words with specific emphasis continually throughout the conversation to embed certain ideas in the thoughts.
Most of what I use consitantly on myself is conditioning, to help myself maintain and use productive states of mind... I also use anchors that I have set on myself to 'snap' into certain emotional frames.
