Thank you Michael but I had read Bhabha's theory and as Seta rightly, said we were just clarifying. I take exception to what you said there and am somewhat offended - I tell you sir I would not knowingly attempt to try to confuse anybody.[/quote] I was not suggesting that you were trying to confuse...

People who have studied for years at conventional psychotherapy are not interested in what they would call "quick fixes", which is what NLP is, at least to them. I had a friend who is studying to be a counsellor. I didn't like mentioning NLP because of the above reason. It is true that so...

One of the features of NLP, which could be either a strength or weakness, is that there is no common agreement on what does, or does not constitute NLP. Two NLP Master Practitioners could have been trained in very different styles, over different timescales and with quite different course content an...
