NLP PhotoReading

A chocolate cake

After nine and a half days of training, back to back, and as we finished the PhotoReading course, the hotel had a surprise for us.

The management of the Nippon Hotel in Istanbul, wheeled in a chocolate cake.

Ah, sheer bliss, just what the doctor ordered, it warmed the cockles of my heart.

With great ceremony, I invited Deniz my translator to cut the cake with me, which she did begrudgingly, as I think she thought that only newly married couples cut a cake in such a way. Bless. But, she was part of the training team and deserved to cut the cake too.

Participants, organisers and Deniz and myself shared the cake. Well actually, there was a lot left over. I never saw what happened to that.

NLPNOW Hızlı Fobi Tedavisi

 English version



NLP Hızlı Fobi Tedavisi, trans ya da hipnoz şart olmasa bile, hayal gücü ve transın kullanımıyla fobi ya da korkunun ortadan kaldırılması ve yerine daha yararlı bir şeyin konması açısından çok yararlı bir yoldur.
 

Yine, daha önce makalelerimde bahsettiğim gibi, şunu vurgulamam gerekir ki, NLP’yi uygulayan kişinin NLPnin birçok alanında olduğu gibi problemin ne olduğunu bilmesi gerekmez.

NLP içerikten bağımsızdır.

NLP Hızlı Fobi Tedavisi’nin hazırlık aşaması yine Altı Aşamalı Yeniden Çerçevelendirme ile aynıdır, yani uyum sağlamak ve kişiye olacakları anlatmak.

Süreç, sinemada olma fikrini ve içeriden gözlem ve dışarıdan gözlemi kullanır.

Hastanın zihninde olayın ilk kez görüldüğü anın filmini canlandırması istenir. Hastanın bilinçli zihninde bu olayın ne olduğunu bilip bilmemesinin hiç bir önemi yoktur. Bilinçaltı zihin bunu kendisi halleder.

Öncelikle, hastanın, rahatlama, trans ya da uyku benzeri bir duruma girmesini sağlayın ve onları sinemaya doğru yönlendirin.

Sinemaya girdiklerinde, büyük beyaz ekrana bakarak rahat bir şekilde oturmalılar.

 

Sinemanın içi    Inside a cinema, The Steuben Theatre in Hornell, NY.   The Steuben Theatre in Hornell, NY

Bu noktada, onlardan büyük beyaz ekrana bakarak rahat bir şekilde oturan kişinin içinden süzülerek çıkmalarını ve orada oturan kendilerini dışarıdan görmelerini isteyin. Hasta şimdi dışarıdan gözlem yapmaktadır.

Hasta daha sonra, sinemanın arkasına gitmeli ve projeksiyon odasına girmeli, filmin gösterildiği küçük kare ekrandan oturan ve büyük beyaz ekrana bakan diğer kendisine bakmalıdır.

Yine, hasta sinemada oturan diğer kendini dışarıdan gözlemlemektedir.

 

Hastaya, siyah-beyaz, hiç ses olmadan, “fobiye yol açan olayın başlangıcından hemen öncesinden, güven içinde oldukları zamandan, tamamen bittiği ve sona erdiği” zaman aralığını bir film şeklinde baştan sona kadar izlemelerini söyleyin.

 

Büyük beyaz ekrandaki filmi izleyen diğer kendilerini küçük kare camdan doğru izlemeleri gerekmektedir. 

Filmi baştan sona üç kez oynatın.

 

Filmi ileri doğru sarma süreci sona erdikten sonra, filmi üç kez geri sarın. Hasta, diğer kendisini “fobiye yol açan olayın başlangıcından hemen öncesinden, güven içinde oldukları zamandan, tamamen bittiği ve sona erdiği” zaman aralığını dışarıdan gözlem yoluyla izlemeye devam etsin.

 
Diğer kendilerini gülerken, rahatlamış bir şekilde filmin geriye doğru sarılmış halini izlerken görsünler. 

 

Sona erdiğinde, hastanın projeksiyon odasından ayrılmasını ve sinema salonuna geri dönmesini isteyin. Diğer kendilerini, rahat bir şekilde otururken görsünler. Onlardan diğer  kendilerinin içine süzülerek girmelerini ve onla bütünleşmelerini isteyin.

 

Sinemadan ayrılmalarını isteyin.

Bu noktada, yaptığım işi test etmeyi severim ve onlardan süper kahraman olmalarını, sinemadan ayrılmalarını ve kendilerini bir zamanlar fobi olduğunu düşündükleri şeyi yeni pozitif bir şekilde yaparken görmelerini (dışarıdan gözlem) isteyin.

 

Kendilerini başarmak istedikleri şeyi başarıyla yaparken gördüklerinde, artık içeriden gözleme geçebilirler ve artık bunu yapmış olarak yeni kendileri olabilirler.

 
Hızlı Fobi Tedavisi, içeriden gözlem, dışarıdan gözlem, fobi ya da korkuya yol açan olayın hafızasını geri sararak hafıza yollarını yeni şekillendirme, ve geleceği şekillendirme metotlarından faydalanır.

Bütün işlerimde olduğu gibi, test etmeyi severim ve genellikle hastalarımı önceden fobi olduğunu düşündükleri ya da korktukları şey ya da durumlarla gerçekten tekrar karşılaşmalarını isterim.

English Courses Hypnosis Turkish

Two Phillip Holt’s

Over the last couple of days, news has come to me that I am in two places at the same time.

How can that be?

There seems to be two of me.

There is the one in my shoes now giving training, and another one here in Istanbul, Turkey, who is teaching hypnosis.

I became confused as I know which one is me, I am in my shoes, and my feet hurt, so I know it is me.

Perhaps my feet hurt because there is someone else getting in my shoes at the same time.

There has always been ‘Little Phillip‘ trainers, people who have been on my courses and copied what I do, and then deliver the same courses, often word for word, even using my same stories or metaphors and jokes, but this is different.

A person calling themselves Phillip Holt, is delivering hypnosis in courses.

The strange thing is this person is Turkish. Surely they must realise that ‘Phillip Holt is not a Turkish name, and the participants will realise that something strange is going on.

Just in case the person wants to copy me even more, he should make his hair grey, grow a beard, age a little, speak English with a British accent, and put on some weight.

Just in case he does not know what I look like this is a picture of me.

I am jealous

I am jealous.

I have just finished a nine and a half day training session here in Istanbul, Turkey, from 9am in the morning to 6pm in the evening. As usual, by the time I have finished the days training, I am tired, and just want to put my feet up in my hotel room, review the training I have given during the day, and prepare for the next day, as to what I need to include, how I can help individual participants, and then go and get something to eat.
 
The region I stay in is the major tourist area of Istanbul near Taxim Square, and it appears I am the only long stay guest. Perhaps because of the amount of time I am here, I should look for an apartment for myself, does anyone know of somewhere?

One of the best times of the day for me is breakfast. It is when my mind is fresh from a nights sleep, I have got rid of any of the bad thoughts and ideas in my dreams, I have had my subconscious mind working on the problems of life during my sleep, I can see things more clearly and it is a time for reflection.

Sitting in the Seminal Hotel, eating my small breakfast, I watch the other guests enter the breakfast room, families, groups, rarely single guests, take their table and help themselves to copious amounts of food.

How can they eat so much and some of the them so thin? I am jealous.

I watch as they talk to each other, laughing, smiling, talking, conversing. I am jealous.

I hear the many languages spoken, Arabic, French, German, Greek and Turkish. Why can’t I talk their tongue as my translator can? I am jealous.

I wonder what they will be doing today, Sightseeing? I am jealous.

In the evening, I walk up to Taxim Square and down to Tunel along the car free street of shops, and see friends walking and talking, lovers holding hands, tourists taking photographs. I am jealous.

Looking into restaurants and eating houses, with hunger eating at my stomach, watching diners chatting away. I am jealous.

I get back to my room alone, and hear people in the next room talking. I am jealous.

Then I hear a argument start in a language I cannot understand, shouting and banging of doors.

Now I understand why I should not be jealous, I am safe in my little room, no arguments, and I can telephone friends and family who I know will want to talk to me.

Stage Hypnosis course finishes

It is now down-time for me after a two day intensive Stage Hypnosis course held in London.

In the two days we cover a lot, although I have learned to frame the content in such a way that it is fun, easy to learn and enjoyable, and perhaps the participants only realise at the end of the course, how much they have learned, how much content they have absorbed.

Our intentionally small group, so that we can give near 1-on-1 tuition, came from many countries, the UK, Poland, Italy, Albania and Slovenian, some having had no experience of even being hypnotised before in their life, (well they thought they had not), one studying for a PhD in the art of Stage Hypnosis, hypnotherapists, NLPer’s and those just interested.



Some of the participants from the stage hypnosis course

It is always interesting bringing the group to the same level of knowledge enabling them to stage a show if they so wished.

Unlike other courses where the trainers seem to like their own voices, and just lecture, the participants actually put into practice the different elements, the inductions, re-inductions and routines, bringing all together at the end of the second day with a show of their own, performed with real “stars” and in front of others.


 
Learning hands-on the art and tricks of Stage Hypnosis.

I am going to look forward to the many more course I will give around the world and the next one in London, March 2009. If you want to be part of that group, book early now. Click link here to book.

Thank you guys, you made my weekend a great experience, and remember, I want to see you again on my future courses as always free of charge.

Stage Hypnosis course starts

It is 6am, and I am up ready to start after daze of preparations to start my two day Stage Hypnosis course.

Even at this late hour people are joining the course.

I only like a small number of participants, so that I can work on a near 1-2-1 basis, training the new people all the skills they will need to start in a career of Stage Hypnosis if they wish.

Some participants have never been hypnotised before, some are very experienced in the art of hypnosis.

Whatever, many previous participants have gone on to become full stage performers.

It will be good to see some old faces, people who have worked with me before, been on previous courses, work with me on other issues, and new faces.

It will be fun but hard work.

So, thank you for all the good wishes I have received.

Oh, I love my work.

NLP Thoughts

Web of lies

I recently read a report credited to the WEB pioneer, London born Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

The report indicated that a few people with deep personal issues, can spread those beliefs very easily by making them very believable.

This can happen with just one person making a statement, which then becomes a deep seated belief in others.

In 2004, the British Sunday Times published the following :-

Andrew Wakefield, the doctor who champions the alleged link between measles, mumps and rubella vaccine and autism in young children, stands discredited for misleading his medical colleagues and The Lancet, the professional journal that published his findings.

Wakefield had published that giving the MMR injection was the cause of autism. that there was a link between the two.

His research was flawed.

He did not disclose the fact that countries that did not give the MMR injection to children had just as high an incidence of autism in the population as those countries that gave MMR.

He did not disclose that he was being funded by people who were seeking evidence to use against MMR vaccine manufacturers.

He did not disclose that symptoms of autism showed themselves at the same age as MMR was given.

He made an assumption that A caused B.

In NLP terms, Cause and Effect.

The result was that parents did not allow their children to have the MMR injection, and incidents of measles, mumps and rubella increased.

THE END OF THE WORLD. Yes, recently we were to expect the end of the world with the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) particle accelerator on the Swiss French border, which would create a black hole swallowing up the Earth.

Some people believed it. Others who did not believe still had the seed of doubt planted in their brain, “perhaps it is the end of the word“.

There have been many cult religions, where followers or believers, follow the teachings of one person, as if what is being said is nothing but the truth. The Peoples Temple Agricultural Project in Jonestown, in the USA Waco. 

Misinformation, wrong beliefs can sow those seeds in others.

A fellow trainer Jonathan Altfeld on his first visit to London told me his father had said to him, not to travel to London as it was a bomb site. His father had been in London during World War 2, and that was his belief of what London was like.

Another trainer friend Jill Lawday had been told not to travel to Turkey by her family, as the country was lawless, a dangerous place to be. She found as I have that it is one of the most pleasant countries in the world, and the people kind and considerate. OK, I have had the apartment is was staying in broken into, and I have been taken advantage of, lost money, but perhaps that was my fault, and will happen anywhere.

I was in contact with a friend who will be traveling for the first time to the UK and London, and they stated to me that they have their umbrella ready for the trip.

Where has that idea come from?

One person who had an experience of visiting London and it rained, presupposes (NLP Meta Model term) that it always rains in London. They then spread the news of their belief, and others take it up, and spread the misinformation.

Annual average rainfall in London is around 600 mm, compared to New York at 1173 mm, Jerusalem at 450 mm, Beirut at 600 mm, and Istanbul which is 650 mm.

From the Mayor of London’s web site it is stated:-

London receives less rainfall per head than cities like Madrid and Istanbul, and our average annual rainfall (just below 650mm) is less than Addis Ababa (1200 mm).

Be prepared, yes. I have been very wet in the middle of the desert in Saudi Arabia during a heavy rainstorm. It is very rare that I need an umbrella in London as I do in any country I travel to.

We need to remember one persons understanding or Map of the Territory is not the truth, but a representation of the truth or reality, and certainly not ours.

Anyway, my friend, when I meet you in London soon, I hope you do not have your umbrella with you. If you do, I will hit you over the head with it.

Try it, you might like it.
