which nlp techniques do you use?

I bought a book months ago with 600 nlp techniques in it and have been using some of the techniques on my self and others and i was wondering which nlp techniques do you uss with client on a regular basis?

The ones I use are swish, time line, drop through, aligning logical level, perceptual positions, submodalities, fast phobia technique, parts integration, spinning, allergy, hierarchy of values, six step reframe, anchoring, circle of excellence.

obviously not all in one session and I normally give the client a sheet with the instruction on how to do the technique so they can practice using it at home on other issues.

I couldn't do therapy if I didn't use Parts, submodalities and reframing. But, I frequently use the others as well. You'll find that the fast phobia cure works on a lot more issues than just phobias. I don't often use drop through but that's about it. Which book did you buy?

I personally don't utilize so much- specific "techniques", as much as I implement the art behind the specific techniques of NLP, but the major ones I use most often include...

*Parts Work
*Time Line Work- (including perceptual positions, drop down, etc.)
*Submodalities
*Anchoring
*Language Patterns
*Fast Phobia Relief
*T.O.T.E. (AKA- strategy elicitation)
*Meta Model (always being cautious not to become a "Meta Monster" as it can really annoy people when used incorrectly)
*Self Love & Forgiveness
*Swish Pattern

Just to name the "Top 10"...

Hi Tom,

I recommend putting energy into chewing on and digesting the pre-suppositions of NLP -- Here you will find a firm conceptual foundation for any kind of change work.

I often teach clients how create and/or collapse anchors... It is easy to market the concept. The techniques are easy to demonstrate and it is easy to teach these techniques to clients as a self-help tool.

The title of the book is the big book of nlp techniques by shlomo vaknin.

I made a mistake in my original post, the book has 200+ techniques.

i have read about the extened meta model by michael hall but the only challenge i use from it is "what do you mean by........" and "in what way......."

Using the Meta Model as described in The Structure of Magic 1 has been a huge asset because

It allows you to operate on a deeper level within your clients structure of reality. It is importand to

remove distortions and ambiguity in a beliefe in order to change that beliefe.

Once you master The Meta Model Techniques your conversations will never be the same! For those

who are familiar with this Model, I have found it very interesting using it with body language. It seems

very simular to what I have heard about the Non Awareness Technique.

Whatever is needed at the moment, but I find spinning (emotion amplification) is the tool I use with almost every single client at every session. You will find what works for you. Whatever you are most comfortable with, start there and build on that. The most important thing is to be confident, build lots of rapport, and set the client's expectation that it will work before you begin. A technique that is very effective on one client may not be so much on another one, so experiment with several and don't throw out any "babies" with the bath water. Good luck and have fun!

BTW--I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE using the Circle of Excellence...on myself! :)

I would like to ask about NLP and if it is different from regular hypnotism. I tried to search on the internet but all the answers were rather complicated.

@HappyChild~ This question comes up a lot -

My simple- 5 minute answer is this...

NLP & Traditional Hypnosis are like different players on the same ball park. They are very much alike and yet very different.

NLP involves hypnosis, but hypnosis doesn't necessarily involve NLP.

When utilized correctly, most NLP exercises induce trance, but most don't use a formal induction. The exercise/technique itself naturally guides individuals into trance/hypnosis, where as traditional hypnosis almost always begins with a traditional hypnotic induction, such as a progressive relaxation, rapid induction, or even an instant induction.

Traditional hypnosis tends to lean more towards guiding clients into trance with a traditional induction- then giving positive suggestions to the client in order to create subconscious change.

NLP tends to be more interactive with the client, allowing the practitioner to be able to notice what's working, what's not, and have the ability to change his/her approach accordingly during the session as opposed to after. Said differently, it allows to the client to be more consciously aware of the subconscious change during the session, which for me at least, allows me to do more thorough work during that session.

That said, there are many NLP techniques that utlize more of an "uptime trance" such as with what's called the T.O.T.E. model which is used to elicit an individuals conscious and subconscious strategy for certain behaviors.

All of that said, there are many, many different ways of working with both hypnosis and nlp, and I think the major differences ultimately come down to the practitioner, rather than the actual title.

That's the simplest, yet most accurate answer I can give you in under 5 minutes.- Hope it helps...

NLP and Trance (semi-conscious and/or subconscious work) are interrelated since they both utilize dissociation. Traditional (or "Regular") Hypnosis is a state of prolonged absorption in a single idea (unconscious work) that is based on association.
