RE: [Tap 'n B Free] EFT and NLP

[Guest guest]

Hi Lucy

Yes that is exactly what I do with my clients, combine the two to move my

clients to where they want to be. Craig is a Master Practitioner in

NLP and if you see some of his videos you will see that he uses NLP

techniques with EFT.

The concept behind going back to a remembered incidents that trouble you is

that you cannot change history, but your memory of that incident is simply

that it is based on your perception of the incident and as such you can

change your perception so that the memory of it does not produce a negative

emotional state the makes your behaviour unresouceful.

I find that the use of timeline with EFT very useful for changing negative

memories. I also use anchors so that clients feel safe at all times and to

help to produce a resourceful state.

Quite often I find if someone in particular is very anxious I will use EFT

first to reduce the anxiety and then proceed with some NLP techniques

interspersed with EFT whenever there seems to be a block. To use NLP

effieciently you need to be able to access your clients unconscious mind.

Some clients have spent their whole lives shutting out and suppressing their

unconscious mind so EFT works to reduce the blocks and look at what it is

that they are blocking out.

I also use reframing, sleight of mouth, chunking up to find beliefs and

values and perceptual positioning. NLP & EFT are a fantastically effective

combination that blend and complement beautifully.

Take care

Hi

Thanks for the explanation. I can now see areas where you would use EFT

with NLP such as to reduce feelings of fear or anxiety prior to or during an

NLP routine or to further identify other feelings connected to the ‘source’

feeling that you are working on.

So far with NLP, I have only discovered Timelines and Anchoring. There

seems to be so much more to learn with NLP – looks like I’ve got a lot of

reading to do. The good thing about EFT is that once you know the protocol, it

is

extremely easy to apply and can fit in easily with NLP.

Many thanks once again.

Hi Lucy: I combine EFT and NLP often. I usually start out with EFT when

working with clients, because it's easier for them to get a handle on. If

an issue is not moving, I'll combine some NLP interventions in with EFT.

One thing I like to do when there's just a niggling little bit of the issue

left (like a 1-3 on the SUDs): I'll use a shift in perceptual " location " to

wipe it out. For instance, I'll ask the client to tell me where they " see "

the rest of the issue in their field of vision (it's often right in front of

them). Then I'll have them close their eyes and move it REAL fast to the

left (or whatever location represents their past on their personal

timeline). Sometimes it works to have them move it down (so they're " above "

it, so to speak). I have them make this movement several times VERY FAST,

then test to make sure the image has stayed in its new location, then test

the SUDs again. It usually goes down to zero at that point. Note: this

technique works even for people who aren't highly " visual. " They may not

see a picture, but they'll have a sense of a shape/object/mass somewhere in

their internal field of vision-just move that. You can also have them

change the color of the object; that often works well also. However, since

" location " has the strongest impact on how we perceive, I go for that first.

Hope this helps. Let me know how it works for you.

All the best,

, M.S., M.A.

Hi Lucy

NLP & EFT combine really well together as a lot of NLP is linguistic and you

can use that to reframe a client or to create set ups that will really move

the client.

There are numerous NLP techniques, if you really want to get to grips with

NLP a Practitioner's Course is the first step. I am just about at the end

of a Master's Course and I know there is still more I could learn!

I do use anchors quite often with EFT to give the client a safe place when

dealing with negative emotion. I also use Time Line in sessions which is a

very effective technique for eliminating negative emotion and looking at

limiting beliefs and decisions.

I feel having both gives you more depth and tools to move your client to a

more resourceful place.

Take care
