NLP

I was talking to a friend recently who described two experiences where her friends had been exposed to NLP.
Both people met alleged ‘NLP practitioners’ who left them feeling ‘harassed, pressured and definitely invaded in some way’ unfortunately this is a story I have heard a few times before (albeit not for a while).
The first stories I became aware of involved people being trapped in corners at parties and then told everything that is wrong with them, delivered in a series of loosely connected ‘bumper sticker clichés’. How disappointing and how un-NLP. Someone once said to me that ‘as a highly skilled practitioner, no-one should ever know’.
Gaining an NLP qualification is no replacement for basic relationship-building skills; rapport, listening and asking good questions.
In my experience NLP is a rich method for taking personal accountability through the lens of better observing, better listening and high degrees of self-awareness. I also have countless examples where NLP has had a life-changing results (empirically measured and published) when applied in a therapeutic context.
You won’t need to remain vigilant to the impostors, they’ll expose themselves to you. Remember the good ones you’ve met. You’ll never know who they were, and they’ll all be people you’ve liked.
How your experience left you feeling?
