ParticipantJenn,
Some thoughts . . .
I presume you started your client off with a tasking. For alcohol addiction I use a two-phase tasking. First, for two weeks I have her keep a journal of every time she wants a drink (whether she takes a drink or not): where she is, what she’s doing, what she’s thinking, what emotions she’s feeling, what’s going on around her, etc., and, of course, whether she took a drink or not. I am looking for a trigger or triggers here. Once she completes that successfully, she must stop drinking alcohol completely for two weeks. She must show that she’s able to control the addiction, at least for this short period of time, in order to be able to overcome it. This also serves as a convincer for both of us that’s she’s committed and capable of overcoming the addiction.
Then off we go into a breakthrough session, and it sounds like you have done that.
A technique that I have found useful in this environment is Prime Concerns. Tad and Adriana don’t teach it anymore in Master Practitioner but it’s still in the MP audio series, including a demonstration, and Tad also wrote a little book called “Prime Concerns” that’s very helpful. I think you can buy this book from TJC.
Prime Concerns is itself a quantum linguistics technique, and it’s based on the premise (from Fritz Perls) that an unmet need from the past creates an extraordinary or unreasonable desire in the present to have that need fulfilled. The client may be totally unaware of the prime concern; in fact, it’s likely that it’s an unconscious, unfulfilled
value. The Prime Concerns intervention can be very useful in revealing the actual problem; the intervention may resolve the problem or it may loosen the client’s grip on it, so you can get at it with Time Line Therapy techniques, or other quantum linguistics techniques. You will certainly come away with some key words that are very powerful for the client, again amenable to Time Line Therapy techniques or QL techniques.For me, Prime Concerns ranks right up there with Parts Integration for fun and effectiveness, and I suggest you consider it. If you have any questions, you can contact me and I’ll be happy to discuss it with you. My number is (480) 305-0903; email is paul@excellencelc.com.
Hope that helps!

ParticipantCongratulations on your first Practitioner, Mia; well done! Like you, I find Practitioner to be great fun, and Adriana says Master Practitioner is even more fun!
In response to your first question, many of my British colleagues say “Brilliant!” to mean “Perfect” or “Excellent!” Thus “Brilliant could be an adjective. However, at least here in the good ol’ US of A, a very, very bright light can be said to be “Brilliant.” So in that context, “Brilliant” is Visual.
Secondly, when I have a student who struggles a little with moving the pendulum, I suggest during the calibration that he or she say silently, “Signal for yes, signal for yes, signal for yes” or “signal for no, signal for no, signal for no,” etc. This creates conscious-unconscious cooperation (always a good thing) and as the student sees the pendulum start to swing in bigger and bigger arcs, it builds confidence and serves as a great convincer! My experience is that this works very well!
Hope that helps!

ParticipantMia,
Congrats on your first NLP Practitioner!
Here’s a thought for you about the sequence of your training, and feel free to reject this if it doesn’t work for you.
I like to finish up the coaching training before I do the hypnosis training. Hypnosis is so fun and so mind-blowing that the whole training winds up on a very positive note. My experience about this is that it’s very helpful in rolling people over into Master Practitioner or into coaching.
Best of luck on your Prac.

ParticipantWow! What a powerful article! Thank you, Adriana, for the link to this article and for the web site from which it springs. I now have another source for clear thinking.
I am diligently preparing the training modules for my upcoming Master Practitioner training; Critical Thinking is one of the “must have” subjects and this article will feature prominently in that module.
Best,
Paul Jensen

ParticipantI am preparing the modules for my Master Practitioner Certification Training, and I keep encountering a statement that I perceive is very important, yet I don’t understand it. What else to do but go to the Forum for enlightenment?
The statement in question is: “Change is the order and sequence of the internal representations.” My understanding breaks down with the words “order and sequence,” because to me both those terms mean the same thing.
If the statement refers to varying the elements (the specific internal representations) and/or the sequence (the order in which they are arrayed), as is the case with strategies, then I am perfectly clear. If it is something else, I could use some enlightening.
Thanks in advance for your help!

ParticipantA problem with this is that intellectual diligence (if that’s flip side of the intellectual laziness coin) is not taught in our government (public) schools. The art of critical thinking is being replaced by shallow, fuzzy, emotional response.

ParticipantLeslie,
A couple of thoughts for you (and this is just me so feel free to reject any of it that doesn’t work for you).First, your CEq for Money includes sales, as does your CEq for Success. Are these the same thing or are they different? If they’re different but have the same CEq, your UM may be somewhat muddled about the difference, which could affect your ability to find a clear I/R for Money.
Second, “money” in and of itself does not necessarily imply profitability, which is what I suspect is actually important to you in this case. Being very clear in your language may help you find that elusive I/R!
And again, this is just me so feel free to reject it if it doesn’t work for you.
Hope that helps!
