Reddit reviews Frogs into Princes: Neuro Linguistic Programming

I've challenged redditors here and on many other subs with this : Name one teen rehab or corrective residential facility that has never had a serious reputation for, or history of abuse. No one can name one it seems.
If I am being asked to help, the best I can do, is unconventional and I do not expect everyone to approve or whatever but here goes.
I wandered randomly into meeting a high level hypnotist who tranced out artists and writers for a living, allegedly helping them with the creative flow or some such thing.
He put me in a trance without my desire or consent one day, and it spurred me on to study hypnosis, being fascinated that someone could do that.
There are more than a few schools/genres of hypnosis. 99% of them were designed to attempt to help people, by people looking to help people.
I ended up reading lots and lots about therapy, as many of the hypno superstars were also allegly great therapists.
I ended up helping myself a whole lot, just from studying proper therapy books, that aren't some pop star new age trendy drivel. It can be hard to tell what to read. Where should one look?
Type hypnosis into an amazon books search. Sort by rating. Some of these books are ex$pen$ive.
Neuro Linguistic Programming is a deep school of trance induction.
Put that into google and sort by rating.
Type it into youtube. I see 65,000 videos when I sort by rating.
If you have a close friend, invite them into your study project, or even if not a close friend, someone you feel is truly good hearted and someone you can trust. Many books suggest finding a partner to go back and forth with. I've had hypnosis fights with the guy I know who told me about some books.
Don't trip out on trying to memorize or keep all the details of everything you read. Just get a few books and leave them around. Just casually browse that stuff if you don't feel like tackling a whole book at once and trying to ''learn'' it all. It;s a skill, like playing pool, or rock climbing. Just dabble around different books casually. I am sure that those two will be a great start.
If you want therapy in your life, getting to know what kinds there are out there is a good start. Many of the books are quite entertaining and fun, for clinical psychology books. The two I linked will make you laugh.
I think everyone should study hypnosis in elementary school, so it is more easily recognized when authorities, the media, and schools use it on people.
You start seeing and hearing politicians in a whole new way.
It tended to be invented for good, but is used to do bad things, as this sub knows very well. Studying and using what you read can help unravel and reframe experiences that can use some clarity and some that could use some fuzziness. If you want to be a great therapist to yourself,and want top take it seriously, you can do it if you choose to. Read enough books, and bet you can get hired as a counselor somewhere, when you tell them what you've read.
You'll be more helpful to yourself and to your friends and strangers if you just want to dabble.

Try Frogs into PRINCES

Edit: And watch Derren Brown on you tube.

> Como é que seria possível fazer o despiste de tudo isto com apenas uma secção? Fazer mil e um testes? Há coisas que é impossível de testar. A conversa apesar de ser um método primitivo é o melhor para despistar todas essas opções.

Bem visto, mas assumo que pela conversa já tinha chegado à conclusão de que era problema da nutrição, e no entanto encorajava a que não se desse logo essa informação ao paciente.

Inclusive no Frogs Into Princes ou noutro livro dos mesmos autores (li a coleção toda, a memória pode estar a falhar) é lançado o aviso a quem quiser praticar NLP que é suposto funcionar numa consulta, e partir daí as restantes consultas são apenas de reforço e vigilância face à primeira, e são muito ocasionais relativamente à terapia tradicional, o que pode ir contra os objectivos da maioria dos profissionais.

Não tenho nada contra psicólogos, mas não é uma área fácil. Já o The Psycopath Test avisa de todos os perigos à volta do diagnostico psicologico e de como pode destruir vidas. Para além disso também já tive as minhas experiências. Concordo com a psicologia sobretudo quando aliada a uma avaliação psiquiatrica (e mesmo assim varia consoante o caso), por si só tenho certas dúvidas, talvez com o aparte das especializações que mencionei.

NLP books have a map.See Here

Nice to see this AMA. I read about NLP many years ago via Frogs into Princes and have been very fascinated by it. How do you find it has most helped you, personally? (I mean as opposed to helping others)

Thanks!

> does anyone have any direct experience with any linguistic programming, not only of others but of yourself?

Start here.

If you like that other books by the same authors (the older the better), Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, and Gregory Bateson. I have actually taken a course from this guy: Steve Andreas.

For ten years at least every time I have looked into active available NLP practitioners there has been nothing but marketers. Robbins is far more skilled at marketing himself than he is at teaching NLP. The dilbert guy used to write some funny comics.
