Learning hypnotherapy, weekend 5.2

More NLP on day 2 of this weekend, starting with 'eye accessing cues'. The theory is that by taking notice of the way somebody moves their eyes as they're thinking, you can work out how they are thinking. Which comes down to working out which rep systems (as mentioned previously) they're using as they're thinking.

We also covered, among a couple of things, anchoring. This one boils down to attaching a feeling (or 'resource' in NLP terms) such as confidence, haplessness, or anything else you might want to some stimulus, such as pressing your thumb and index finger together. In the same way that a specific song can make you feel a certain way (the song has been 'anchored' to that feeling), you can use the same principle to intentionally anchor any feeling you want. From a hypnotherapy point of view, anchoring can be useful for all kinds of thing - such as anchoring feelings of calmness to help with smoking cessation or stress management.
