The problem is the thinking that created the condition
Quote from Michael
At some point I realized that ALL of my clients problems were simply metaphors
Milton Erickson
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but your own estimation of it, and this you have the power to revoke at any moment
Marcus Aurelius
I have a policy, I never listen to anyone explain why they can’t do something, b/c I don’t wanna be convinced by it
Michael Caine

Six principles for success
Goal implies something you haven’t achieved, it’s always right in front of you
NLP focuses on outcomes
Resistance in a client is a sign of a lack of rapport

Prime directives of the unconscious mind
Preserves the body, runs the body, stores memories, is the domain of the emotions, organizes all memories, represses memories with unresolved negative emotions, presents repressed memories for resolution, is symbolic, takes everything personally
Prime directives of the unconscious mind (cont.)
Works on the principle of least effort, does not process negatives, may keep the repressed emotions repressed for protection, is a highly moral part of you, enjoys serving and needs clear orders to follow
Prime directives of the unconscious mind (cont.)
Controls and maintains all perceptions, generates stores distributed and transmits all energy, maintains instincts and generates habits, needs repetition until a habit is installed, is programmed to continually seek more and more, functions best as a whole integrated unit
Typical therapy works with only the conscious mind. Hypnosis works with only the unconscious mind
Only NLP strives for total concious-unconscious integration
NLP doesn’t ask why
The more reasons they tell you, the more stuck they will get
Most times when someone has a problem it’s b/c their conscious and unconscious mind are not aligned
Behaviors or thoughts that run unconsciously need to be interrupted
The interrupt becomes part of the pattern
Memory is state dependent
