Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Post Reply New Topic

Tony Robbins incorporates NLP in his success coach program, I've read his 2 books and tried some of it in the past but not enough to fully engross myself in it, but from my exposure to it I can't recall any negative effects and in some ways it seems to have made for a more acute learning curve in music. Has anyone tried NLP and noticed similar benefits? On 1 level (probably near the surface) it seems like a form of snake oil but what appeals to me is the idea of teaching the brain another way to communicate. Thoughts or experiences?

I would think that we cannot change the way we process info, but we can change the way we communicate the info we have. I would have an issue with it if the reprogammed way of communication has no logic to it.

I always thought that was some way of teaching computers to speak and generate speech and ideas. Don't I feel silly.

In my opinion WE can mimic NT behaviour. I've spent my entire life doing just that.
Observing, analysing, breaking it down into categories, and then sub-categories, and copying.

Most definately it has made me appear as an NT, but the downfall of doing so was that I appeared to be an NT to both the general population and doctors. Myself doing this may have something to do with why I have only just been diagnosed as being a person with aspergers at the age of 39.

My advice:
Be yourself; don't copy other people in order to "fit in".
