I think my journey of NLP in those 6 days has been profound. I've seen people who have broken down and who have actually kind of shed all the inhibitions and how Anil managed those situations and empowered those people.

The amount of learning I took back from the NLP class was phenomenal. When I did my NLP training I saw a change in myself in every aspect of my life. One thing I learned from NLP is ' Not my monkey, not my circus."

Suratrangni recounts her NLP journey, describing its profound impact. She reflects on the transformative changes that have unfolded throughout her experience and articulates the significant transformation that has shaped her personal and professional growth.

In the myriad roles we assume as individuals, establishing rapport proves invaluable when navigating through diverse personalities and communication styles. Aditya highlights its significant impact in this regard and its effectiveness.

What is NLP?

Language Creates Experience

Understanding the Application of NLP to Reduce Fears, Traumas and Phobias

NLP is a method for understanding and shaping human experiences to communicate effectively and bring about personal development. It involves organising and changing thoughts, feelings, language, and behaviours to achieve desired outcomes—a way to use the language of the mind for consistent goal achievement.

There are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world- and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures. But do they shape the way we think?
The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is.

This research is based on the idea that a link exists between memories and phobias, fears and traumas and mainly they can be reduced in one’s life by manipulating negative memories, the encoding process, and by using NLP as therapy and its techniques like the Swish Technique or the Visual-Kinesthetic Dissociation Technique to overcome and remove those very phobias, traumas and fears

Abstract

Psychoneuroimmunology, an evolving field, is made of three parts. Thoughts (psycho-) control the brain (neuro-) which, in turn, influences the immune system (immunology). In this article, through demonstrations, research evidence, illustrations, and live examples, we will understand how our perception and beliefs of our environment actualize our body’s ability to heal itself.

Abstract

Trauma has been one of the oldest and most difficult sufferings of humans. Even though the source of trauma has passed, there are long-lasting effects that generations have to deal with. In this research, we explore and validate a treatment method for the trauma that involves the usage of dissociation and distortion in the form of the much-studied V/AKD technique.
