Ok i ordered a book about neuro linguistic programming online. I havent gotten it yet so i started reading some stuff and watched some vids, the ppl using NLP bring up images and feelings about certain things such as addictions in order to change them. I tried to bring up feelings i had with certain situations or addictions of mine but i cant seem to do it. Also the pictures in my head are very vague and i cant get clear pictures of people in my head either. I cant do it whenever i want to they just pop up sometimes and i have no control over them even when i want to stop it.

so will i be able to use NLP effectively ?.
and how did it work for you ?.

The only thing i've heard on it is this 'it is the voodoo magic of the psychology world'
Supposed mumbo jumbo.

It's pseudo-psychology self-helpish stuff. If you got some good tapes they'll run you through a course that'll teach you some basic perception skills in regard to situations, like "distancing yourself from the problem to get a better perspective" etc.

They really can help some people, although they're nothing magical, and they certainly won't solve any major problem/task. If you want to learn how to control the thoughts in your head I suggest that you take up some form of meditation, or reading.

Periods. Please use some.
