NLP  is a model of communication as to how we communicate with ourselves and others.

The model was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970s . It was the result of by modelling excellence of therapists such as Dr Milton Erickson M D, Virginia Satir a family therapist, and others who excelled at what they did at that time. They discovered the special way these experts used language and communication. Milton Erickson a medical doctor, excelled in using hypnotherapy successfully to treat his patients over a period of some sixty years. The model developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder is is based on how we process information coming in through our senses from  us from outside and the way we give meaning to it and made sense of the information.

The underlying belief in NLP is that what Alfred Korzibsky referred to in his book “Science & Sanity” is that: “The map is not the territory” meaning that what we make of the information coming in from outside of us,is not necessarily the event itself.

NLlP has evolved and developed considerably since its origins in the 1970s, partly because it enables to seek better ways on an ongoing basis.

NOTE: Although NLP is widely used in many ways and in therapy, it is NOT a therapy in itself. It is used in therapy to communicate with the client more affectively to get to the bottom of things.

Some examples of the scope of NLP can be illustrated by the following:

“NLP cannot be dismissed as just another hustle. Its theoretical underpinnings represent an ambitious attempt to codify and synthesize the insights of linguistics, body language, and the study of communication systems.” Psychology Today

Times Magazine described NLP as having untapped potential for treating individual problems.

Training & Development Journal reported that NLP offers the potential for making changes without the usual agony that accompanies these changes and that it allows for increasing options, flexibility, creativity and therefore greater freedom of action than most of us know.

Science Digest stated that NLP could be the most important synthesis of knowledge about human communications to emerge since the sixties.

Put it simply, NLP is all about communication – language both verbal and non-verbal (what used to be called body language) and how to use it elegantly and more efficiently to get the results you want.

NLP is widely used in: education, business, corporate world, human resources and management, personal development and therapy.

What is Time Line Therapy™?

Time Line Therapy™  is a simple but a powerful process that has evolved from hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming, developed by Tad James PhD. (Marion trained with Tad James).

Time Line Therapy ™ enable clients to release and clear negative emotions (such as: anger, rage, hurt, sadness, fear, resentment, envy, guilt remorse, etc) as well as unhealthy limiting beliefs they hold from the past , so that they can live in the present and create their future in the way they want to experience it.

Having trained in different therapies and interventions including CBT, in my experience TLT enables the clients to resolve their issues for good and considerably faster than any other talk/brief therapy.
