We’re all doomed Captain!

that was phrase which came up whilst doing examples of pre suppositions! And the appropriate responce was “How specifically are we all doomed?!”

Its been a great week so far with some amazing people.

Every time you run a course you actually go on a voyage of discovery yourself. Perceptions, awareness of your own state as well as assessing and monitoring the states of all the participants in the group. Each day brings with it new learnings abotu the people you are teaching – thier own dreams and aspirations, thier own events in thier lives they have had to overcome, the changes they need and want to make during the course.

The challenge is making sure that each day you become more aware of that and create the environment for change and give the assistance which is needed at every step of the process.

However, one thing which frequently comes up is the fact that I cant in change them – NLP is a do “with”, not a do to process so taking on the ethos that you are repsonsible for your own changes, how you react to others, how you deal with your own past and present events etc can be more difficult to take in than they realise.

In other words – getting to the point that the mist lifts and you realise that not one person “MAKES” us feel any particular way can be a huge shift in the access of our worlds and can be hugely liberating for some and somewhat daunting for others.

Once that shift occurs and you realise that your own responce to everything which happens to you is completely a choice and YOU are the only person who can initiate, continue and project that responce the world seems a very different place.

A big hello to you all!

Well, this is my first post here.

Its really a blog abotu the life of a trainer and therapist and the funny, strange and dowright amazing things that happen.

One thing that always struck me about NLP was that so many people seem to lose thier human element, especially when they become a Trainer and that can be a bit daunting for anyone attending a course.

As anyone who has been on one of my NLP courses knows, the trainer is most definitely human, made mistakes, has questions asked she doesnt the answer to and learns constantly from others on every course.

NLP is about personal and professional development – not to admit that we are learning all the time for each person we meet goes against the entire ethos of NLP.

So, this is the daily recount of writing courses, new people, silly and daft things that happen and the normal exasperations of life.

I hope you relate to some of this and laugh a bit as well.
