In NLP a state is word describing the sum total of how we feel, our mood and our physiology.

Some states are very simple and have common every day names such as: angry, loving, dissappointed. Other states can be complex combinations of feelings and moods that may have no name but are very familiar to us.

Many people think that their state is something they are stuck with, in reality they are easy to change and choose. States and state management is a fundamental part of NLP.

In the next NLP Café meeting on May 20th we will explore getting in and out of states. In the first part of this practice group we will use a process to tease apart unresourceful states so that they are easier to change. In second part we will work on creating tailor made states for use on any occasion.

Join Andy Hunt and Nigel Hetherington to get in, and out of, a bit of a state at St Oswald’s Hospice Training Centre, Gosforth, Newcastle on Tuesday May 20th between 7pm & 9pm.

There are several emotions that we feel in response to ourselves, self-respect, self-appreciation, self-esteem etc. These feelings and beliefs about ourselves are taken on board during childhood and early life experiences.

In this month’s NLP Cafe we will use two processes to explore and develop positive ’self states’. First using the positive resources of mentors to access these states and develop them in ourselves. Then Guardian Angel process to introduce these states into our past, present and future timelines.

This is a complementary experience to last month’s NLP Cafe workshop using the submodality work of Steve Andreas.

7pm - 9pm Tuesday 18th March at St Oswald’s Hospice Teaching Centre

Do you take criticism personally?

Do you take in negative comments and brood over them?

Would you like to be able to respond to criticism more resourcefully learn from the experience and let it go?

Fortunately NLP has modelled the thought processes of people who are able to respond resourcefully to criticism. This process is easily learned and once learned it’s automatic.

In January’s NLP Café you can learn how to respond resourcefully to criticism. The meeting is on Wednesday 16th January* between 7pm-9pm. The cost is £10.

*Not January 9th as previously advertised.

Do you want to know more about Neuro Linguistic Programming?

Have you read a few books, watched Paul McKenna on TV and wondered what NLP is all about? If you are used to finding out about things by reading it can be a little difficult to ‘get’ NLP.

Unfortunately learning NLP from a book is like learning to ride a bicycle from a book, reading and riding are two very different things.

Fortunately my friend and colleague Nigel Hetherington and I are running a one day introductions to NLP where you can try out NLP for size without breaking the bank.

The workshop is on Saturday 10th November from 9:30 to 5:30. They take place at St Oswald’s Hospice in Newcastle. It is a snip at just £45 for the day.
