" Richard (Bandler) often says 'NLP is an attitude, backed by a methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques'. Considering this succinct statement I think we can well consider the practitioner training as taking a person along a trail of techniques as well as introducing them to the procedures and components of that methodology. There one learns NLP from its content standpoint.
The next step involves the process of becoming fully introduced to the NLP attitude....Accordingly, Master Practitioner Training takes one through a process of learning to adopt that spirit. This refers to the attitude of looking out upon life and our experience from an entirely new and different perspective. It refers to an attitude of curiosity about possibilities, what we have not yet tried, what we have not yet tapped, and of a ferocious resolve to make our ideas, representations and dreams become real."
Michael Hall, 'The Spirit of NLP
According to Richard Bandler, to master NLP you have to, "let it completely permeate your thinking and feeling". NLP ceases to be something you do and becomes fully integrated into the way you are in the world. this mastery leads to even greater resourcefulness, the ability to control your internal state, and true personal congruence.
The Modelling Project
Part of your Master Practitioner Training involves creating your own modelling project. Modelling has always been at the heart of NLP, and was the driving force behind the development of many of the techniques: they provided the tools for the comprehensive modelling of excellence.
Modelling projects are diverse, unique to each individual and often lead to generative use of NLP. This is personally rewarding and contributes to the positive difference that NLP can make in the world.
The Programme
The modules cover the following major threads, with additional topics.
Meta-Programmes
Meta-Programmes are fundamental to how we choose what to pay attention to and to how we sort information. They go beyond individual content and instead deal with structure, context and process. In NLP, Meta-Programmes are those programs that are outside of our conscious awareness; they are filters that lead us to notice, sort for and process certain types of information and disregard others. You will learn how to elicit, pace, utilise and change Meta-Programs.
Belief Systems
An understanding of the structure of beliefs enables you to make any change lasting and effective, and is fundamental to successful modelling. The ability to detect, influence and change limiting beliefs is often the 'difference that makes the difference' in dealing with 'resistance'. It enables people to utilise new and more useful strategies and behaviours.
Advanced Strategy Work and Modelling
Submodalities make possible a whole new way of undersrtanding how people structure their subjective experience. They enable us to have a patterned and ordered perception of the world. Recognise and utilise the distinct processes that form the structure of excellence and how to model it. Recognise and utilise the processes that form the structure of a problem and of the solution.
Time Line Therapy™
By changing the perspective you take on a past experience, in relation to time, you can completely change the relationship you have with that past experience. You can release the negative emotions that have been attached to memories,allowing yourself greater control of your future. You can rsolve intrenal conflicts and deal effectively with limiting decisions.
Certification as a Practitioner of Time Line Therapy is an option with this module.
Advanced Language Patterns
Develop your linguistic skills. learn language patterns that allow you to utilise the power of the Meta Model conversationally, enabling you to overcome resistance and create an openness for change.
Image Streaming
