No Word Wasted NLP & Hypnotherapy Weekend

I've just finished recovering from teaching a weekend course I organised here in Keswick, entitled "No Word Wasted," which covered NLP and hypnotherapy techniques I've found useful in my own practice. The best thing about teaching is how much you personally learn, and how much you gain from other people learning. I think we had a lot of fun as well, even watching an episode of 'Coupling' to illustrate the concept of 'Reframing' (the episode 'Remember This' if you're interested!).

I was worried for a while I didn't really have enough material for 16 hours of training, but in the event I suspect there was way too much - the whole exercise of belief elicitation could easily have been explored further for a whole day, not the two hours I gave it. Similarly, I introduced, demonstrated and taught 8 different ways of hypnotic induction in about an hour, which was probably a whole course in itself.

Although exhilarating, it's taken me a few days to change gear; for hours the following Monday I was unable to listen to anyone without meta-modelling their speech and tapping along to their internal rhythm!
