Okay, first post on my new blog.
The aim of this particular post is to generate healthy discussion with my students so that we can learn and develop through peer and trainer support.
We are moving onto days 4 & 5 on my 12 day NLP Practitioner course in Newcastle Upon Tyne and we've done a lot of productive calibration and rapport activities including perceptual positions.
Some of the people who are on my practitioner course attended my recent Introduction to NLP & Hypnosis course so theoretically they should have a fairly good grasp of the NLP fundamental skills that link into all other patterns.
But who knows?
People learn differently at different speeds with different styles.
The most important aspect, I believe, of any NLP practitioner course, and something I have first hand experience of is the dire need for the retention of core skills and key NLP patterns.
What I have found is that if your group have excellent calibration, verbal package language skills and rapport along with personal congruence then they will go a long way.
On the contrary, if their course is skimmed over, particularly over a seven day period, and these crucial points and patterns are not revisited then the "penny" simply does not drop and they may leave the course with a significant "wow" factor and faraway eyes, but not as practitioners.
They may be suffering from what I like to call the "Post-Traumatic-Fast-Track-Syndrome," NLP amnesia.
I'm looking for some stimulating contributions to this...particularly from my students... so here's the very first question in relation to NLP:
"WHAT IS IT YOU ARE STILL ABSOLUTELY UNCLEAR OF?"
I look forward to your responses.
Warm Regards,
Jay Arnott
I'm not clear on when you would want to use a collapsing anchor and why?
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew,
DeleteIt's great that you've put this one out there as its a totally relevant question.
When you get to experience the change personal history pattern you will understand it more fully - check it out in your manual.
The basic premise of a collapse is to collapse, eliminate, dissolve a negative or unresourceful state with a much stronger positive one so that the change occurs at first access in the brain, the result being that this process of positive of "programming" renews how we experience the old unwanted state thus making it more difficult to access.
Does that answer things?
Regards,
Jay
Hi, yes thanks that clarifies it. It is a bit like a technique used for horses called overshadowing.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really like the sound of that technique, can't wait to find out more. Maybe we'll look at renaming collapsing anchors more poetically as "overshadowing." :)
ReplyDeleteHi just looking at the guidance for circle of excellence and not clearly remembering what happens at 1 where it says identify the external triggers for an unresourceful state.these could be auditory, tactile, smell or taste. My question is do you have to anchor that state?
ReplyDeleteNo. Definitely not. The purpose is just to identify the un-resourceful triggers that are occurring presently - so that you can collapse them later on!
ReplyDeleteExcellent Festive Wishes, Jay
