Confident People Think Differently
Than Unconfident People!

NLP researchers coached unconfident people to see their experiences the way confident people do and found that they became more confident, felt they had more choices and felt productive.

It affords the opportunity to gain flexibility, creativity and greater freedom of action than most of us now know... "Training and Development Journal

2. you have mixed feelings: part of you wants ...... and part of you doesn't
3. you need to learn new skills, develop choices & integrate new behaviors
4. you have not made the changes at your unconscious minds level
5. you don't give yourself a chance or time (process to learn or change)
6. you have not clearly defined what you don't want
7. you have not clearly defined what you do want

What is NLP? (Neuro Linguistic Programming)
NLP is many different things: NLP is the study of excellence and excelled change, but it can not be put in a box that say's that 'this' is what NLP is.

There are many explanations and uses for NLP, each one is unique because NLP is different things from different angles.

NLP depends on who is using it and how they are using it.

A public speaker uses NLP differently than a business manager or sports coach. So you may have had an experience of NLP but not understand completely what NLP is.

Jan Mitchell, a Master Neuro Linguistic Programming Therapist uses many NLP techniques in specific ways that counsel her clients to heal, change and grow.

Jan individualizes powerful NLP Techniques, Strategies and empowering NLP Hypnosis for each person's specific needs and desires. Jan coaches them to easily tap into their unconscious mind, gain new awareness, heal and release the past, quickly make positive change, install new choices, and automatically integrate new positive and useful skills.

NLP Is The First Step Towards Your Dreams

NLP Defined:

Neuro is the study of the mind, our nervous system & how to change using our mind to control our internal pictures, thoughts & feelings. It is the study of 'How' what we think about, we bring about.

Linguistic is the study of our verbal and non verbal communications (our senses) or what we internally see, hear, feel, smell and taste. It is the study of how our senses create our internal processes, leading to negative or positive experiences (beliefs& behaviors)

Programming is our brains many 'mental programs' (how we dress, drive, eat, enjoy, achieve, do relationships, etc.). And how to reprogram our mind by changing the old mental programs from limiting ones to empowering ones so you automatically change, feel more confidence, happier & productive

The name Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an umbrella for many NLP processes such as NLP Rapport, NLP Modeling, NLP Reframing, NLP Hypnosis, NLP Anchoring, NLP Fast Phobia Blaster, NLP Trauma Techniques, NLP Polarity Integration, NLP Confidence Builders, NLP Time Line or NLP Journey Line Therapy, NLP Assertiveness Strategy's, NLP Well Formed Outcome, NLP Goal Strategies, NLP Reprogramming Beliefs & Behavior Patterns and many more. (see explanations below and on other pages are specific NLP techniques that Jan uses).

NLP History

NLP was created by Richard Bandler, Linguist John Grinder, Robert Dilts & Tad James in the 1970's. They focused their research on discovering what made top Psychotherapists such as Milton H. Erickson, Virginia Satir, Fitz Perls and Gregory Bateson successful in helping others change. (more NLP History)

NLP And Your Senses

Much of NLP is based on the combination of your senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. You use your senses to interpret your inner and outer world.
Each person has a 'primary sense', Visual, Auditory or Kinesthetic (feelings) and your primary sense 'runs your mental programs'. Although you use a combination of all of your senses, you use one sense to a greater extent than the others.

With NLP, you quickly build self confidence and
you experience more of what you want in life

NLP Therapy works in all life areas: overcoming blocks, depression, anxiety, phobias, anger, loss, trauma, physical. emotional or sexual abuse, health, weight and body image issues, reaching goals, creativity, sports, success, career, relationships, codependence, reprogram limiting beliefs & behaviors.

NLP Therapy requires very little 'talk therapy, so it doesn't take years for you to change. Jan Mitchell, as a Master NLP Therapist has access to the most advanced strategies to assist you to tap into your unconscious mind, quickly get to the root of the problem, gain new awareness, change beliefs, integrate positive beliefs, choices & behaviors to access more of the experiences you want now and in your future.

NLP Glossary of Techniques & Strategies:

Some of the many NLP strategies Jan uses to individualize your change process are: NLP Hypnosis, NLP Reframing, NLP Well Formed Outcome, NLP Timeline Therapy, NLP Anchoring, NLP Polarity Integration, NLP Trauma and NLP Phobia Strategies, NLP Communication Strategies, NLP Rapport, NLP Resource State, NLP Congruence, NLP Modeling, NLP Future Pacing, NLP Relationship Strategies, NLP Assertiveness Training & NLP Boundaries Strategies, NLP Weight Strategies, NLP Health Techniques, NLP Confidence Strategies and a host of others.

NLP Hypnosis: is similar to Visualization, Closed Eye Process, a Trance State, Self Hypnosis, a Meditation type state and regular Hypnosis. It is a gently altered state, with an inward focus of attention.
It is like a powerful, interactive, Meditative State, where you are aware and in control at all times. A Master NLP Therapist gently guides you, using various NLP Strategies (depending on your specific needs), taking their cues from you, for you to heal and change.
When Jan guides you through NLP Hypnosis, she both guides you and follows you to where (in your unconscious mind) you need to go to heal & change. This is the NLP Hypnosis Therapists job (not yours) to keep you on track, awake, inwardly focused & refocus you if your mind scoots out and goes shopping.

NLP Reframing: Opens new awareness that each behavior, gives you something you want, even 'negative' behaviors. All behaviors have a benefit to you. (yes, even the behaviors that you don't like) This process guides you to discover what you are getting or what you want to get, from a behavior (often a need to protect yourself, be safe, loved, secure, joy, etc.) Reframing develops more positive choices, options and behaviors to get it (the benefit) in a more positive way, which leads to you changing automatically.

NLP Anchoring: A powerful way to get in touch with positive resources when you want them, such as Confidence, Love, Happiness etc.

NLP Polarity Integration: When there is an internal conflict or part of you that wants one thing and part of you that wants something else. We discover what each 'part' wants (often protection, love etc.), integrate them, resulting in feelings of wholeness, then reframe to develop positive congruent choices and behaviors.

NLP Well Formed Outcome: A way of thinking about and expressing an outcome or goal, which makes it clear, achievable and verifiable. This includes what you will see, hear and feel when you have your goal and blocks you from achieving it.

NLP Congruence: State of being unified, whole, centered, with all aspects of a person working together toward a positive outcome.NLP Resourceful State: A total neurological and physical experience when a person feels positive and resourceful.

NLP Future Pace: Mentally rehearsing a future outcome or goal, ensuring that the desired behavior will occur.

NLP Strategy: A sequence of thought and behaviors to obtain a particular positive outcome. NLP Strategies include many Processes and Techniques that are unique to Masters NLP Therapists.

NLP Modeling: The process of learning, practicing or being taught newer or more positive mental programs. It has a powerful NLP twist on 'Acting as If' that integrates the changes into your unconscious mind (in ways that work for you) automatically

NLP Rapport & Communication: You gain greater understanding of yourself, your reactions to others and improved communications skills.

NLP Timeline Therapy: began with the study of how our mind stores memories and experiences. This study by Tad James and W. Woodsmall became Timeline therapy. NLP Timeline Therapy is based on the events, memories, past loves, happiness, fears, trauma's, limiting beliefs and empowering beliefs, behaviors, choices and decisions of our past, present and future. It is how we use our unconscious mind to interpret these happenings. It is based on the pictures, sounds and feelings of our past, present and future. NLP Timeline therapy gently counsels you to release negative experiences, learn the lessons, reconnect happy memories, enjoy living in the now and to create a positive future.

NLP Associated: Learning to be associated into pleasant, happy experiences, as if inside an experience, seeing through your own eyes, fully in your senses, as if you are experiencing it now and feeling In touch with it.

NLP Disassociated: Learning to be disassociated from negative experiences, helps you to let them go. Releasing the emotions so you function more positively now and enjoy the moment.

NLP's many healing Trauma and abuse strategies heal anxiety, depression, co-dependency, abuse issues, phobia's and much more. These NLP techniques release the past so you can move on comfortably and enjoy your life.

NLP Relationship Strategies teach you to improve old relationships, communication, understanding and build healthy new relationships. Plus it guides you to release old relationships from the past.

NLP Assertiveness Training and NLP Independence Strategy coach you to install firm (caring) boundaries, release 'over-sensativity', handle criticism comfortably. These NLP strategies guide you to be more yourself when you are interacting with others.

NLP Boundaries and Assertiveness Therapy: This therapy teaches you to develop healthier boundaries, supporting choices, to make wise decisions and to release over sensitivity or unhealthy connectedness. In this one we are building firm yet caring Boundaries

NLP Independence Strategy: The NLP Independence Strategy is a NLP Visualization that coaches you to automatically understand your boundaries, release over sensitivity & be more independent. You can learn to be yourself when you are with other people.

Spiritual Boundaries:
Experience Spirit's loving, healing, energy flowing within you, balancing you, connecting you, protecting you from negativity.

NLP Handling Unhealthy Over Sensitivity Hypnosis Strategy: When we are too sensitive or if we are too often 'over' sensitive to what others say, do or to experiences. We look inside first, when something happens and think it is our fault. It can often tie in with limiting beliefs about ourselves for example that we are not good enough.

NLP Constructively Dealing With Criticism: The inability to understand and accept criticism is linked to negative beliefs about yourself and others. It may be a fear of rejection or of not being good enough. In this NLP Hypnosis exercise you gain awareness of what the other person's stuff is and what is your 'emotional stuff or garbage'. Sometimes we step right smack into the firing line of someone's wrath simply because we're in the wrong place at the wrong time. This exercise teaches you to separate them and see them in a healthier way; as if from a step back.

Dealing with Conflict: this NLP Strategy give you a wider scope of options and choices to deflect, release and deal comfortably with conflict.

Fear of Rejection is the risk of losing acceptance. Asking for what we think we rightfully deserve, does not come easily to many women. To ask for a recognition of our worth, is covered with so many qualifiers that we often do not get it. We must remember that NO! is not a personal rejection. It means not now, not this one or not this way. Not yet. Perhaps you can rephrase the question in a better way in the future.
