The Power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming:

​

Preface: This article has been specifically written to our community’s active holistic practitioners, physical therapist, chiropractors and massage therapist.  I for one, consider you to be in the front-lines when it comes to dealing with our injured community. Providers spend countless hours their feet, maintaining a confident, empathetic energy day after day.  It’s a high calling to listen to client’s relentless aches, pains without loss of empathy! As a therapist myself, I am not a fan of the client that puts all the responsibility on me (us) to “just fix them.”  Clients come to providers on the EFFECT side and they do not see how it was THEIR DECISIONS that may have got them the problem in the first place.  Our job is to empower them with not only the right modalities but the right mindset. Once the mindset and modalities become congruent, we will finally have the building blocks to physiological breakthrough!

​

The Root of the Problem: Record Level Stress Levels

The field of chiropractic alternative medicine and physical therapy has been forced to adapt to a higher volume of needs the past few years.  Mainstream medicine has provided sick care and clients come to us in in defeat. Some patients truly do not understand that their food choices, pills and daily habits are all contributing factors to their inflammation.  We are also living in a very unpredictable time in our economy and politics. All of these changes in our external environment is causing a record level stress response.  Providers and clients are both over extended and we must implement news skills to combat this uphill battle we are all facing.

​

The Solution: How do we fix?

I believe that if we get our clients/patients on board with their mental and physical health, they could once again enjoy a pain-free life! A common reframe I used with my clients does something like this, “Well you are really good at your problem.  You have mastered how to do pain.  Let’s get your brain really good at not being in pain.”  They look at me like I have lost my mind, until I explain secondary gain and Perception is Projection. I religiously teach both concepts in all workshops and one-on-one sessions. 

Neurolinguistic Programming is designed to break through the negative emotions, limiting beliefs and limiting decisions though what is called Time Line Therapy ™.  If the patient is ANGRY for example, about their diagnosis or pain, it may be very difficult to get them any type of progress at all.  After we get rid of all negative emotions associated with their problem, we then work on limiting beliefs.  Have you ever heard a patient say, “Nobody can help me.”?  In the therapeutic setting, I ask the question, “When did you first decide that?”  Time Line Therapy ™ allows the client to reprogram their unconscious mind, so they can become congruent in their thinking.  When a client gets their unconscious and conscious mind on the same page, the resistance vanishes and they can create new neuropathways.  I have seen clients go back to their doctor after a few sessions to find that the new data insist that scheduled surgery is no longer necessary.  The neurology changed and the cellular reproduction became vital once again.  NLP heals the mind so the body can heal on a cellular level. 

​

What is Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)?

NLP teaches the client first and foremost about the MIND & BODY Connection. Every single cell in the body is bathing in your neurology.  Our thoughts are extremely powerful because we are literally sending information to our cells! Our cells take in the information, whether it be true or false and must apply the data sent from the brain.  Linguistic is about the internal dialogue that goes on in our client’s minds on replay, consciously and unconsciously.  I challenge the client to loosen the grip on the negative thinking to help them reframe their mindset.  I frequently tell my chiropractor and physical therapist colleges, “you do the body work, I will help them create new mental programs that actually serve them.”  New thinking will create new action. I had a provider once tell me, “I feel like after NLP, my patients can actually receive all the manual body work that I have been doing for weeks.” They are finally MENTALLY on board because they have unlocked all the negative mindsets.  After letting go of negative emotions and beliefs, they can finally achieve healthy cell regeneration and the vitality!  Teaching the mind body connection is fundamental in healing and needs to be addressed in a therapy to reach any real progress. 

 

 

Enhancing Provider-Client Relationships:

Effective communication is at the heart of any successful therapeutic relationship.  NLP equips chiropractors and physical therapist with the skills necessary to connect with their patients on a deeper level.  Did you know that when it comes to communication, only 7% is verbal?!  I will teach providers techniques such as matching and mirroring, reframes and eye tracking that will help them learn if the client is visual, auditory or kinesthetic.  When we learn what is called the client’s “sub-modalities,” we can learn their drivers and literally help them change course. In my workshops, I also teach about spatial acuity, so providers can learn what nonverbal ques to look for to evaluate if their patient actually understood the presented information.  Just because they nodded does NOT mean they understood your recommendations.

​

Neurolinguistic Programming Workshops:

Neurolinguistic Programming Workshops and one-on-one sessions will help providers update their conscious and unconscious beliefs.  The repetitive work requires that we too update our minds and allow new information to prevent burnout. Providers are usually surprised when they realize they too needed to update to some of their Meta Programs as well. 

As a token of my appreciation, all providers and client referrals will receive an exclusive discount. I offer workshops exclusively for providers outside of office their hours for convince and ecology.  Many times providers enjoy the information so much, they ask me to speak in their clinic to their patients about how they too can receive the benefits of NLP.

​

If the problem is of a private nature, I also offer weekly remote sessions.  I have had great success in working remote with the veterans, special operations and overseas clients.  NLP reaches across the globe and has impacted people of all cultures, ages, occupations and has been translated into hundreds of languages.  The languaging of the mind is so powerful and it has become my greatest passion to share this valuable, life changing skill with the world. 

 

 

In Conclusion:

Neurolinguistic Programming is the missing link that enables holistic healthcare providers and their patients to unlock their full potential.  By connecting the language of the mind with the healing process, shedding negative emotions and limiting beliefs, we can build an immediate rapport with our patients.  It time for practitioners and our clients to install updates so we can all achieve the life we have always strived for.  Let’s heal our community one word, one session and one workshop at a time.
