Thought Provoking Dialogue Workshops Newcastle 2011

Thought Provoking Dialogue is a humorous, often irrelevant and completely client centred way of working. This approach is not for everyone yet a 20 minute ‘bubble’ session has the gentle power to help shift clients from problem states to resource states and create lasting and powerful change. In the ‘bubble’ anything and everything is possible …

“Humour can help to break old patterns and establish new ones”

So many research papers and books tell us of the positive effects of laughter. Apparently 20 minutes of laughter is equivalent to 20 minutes of physical activity, likened to an inner form of jogging. It may well act as a buffer against day to day stressful perceptions. However, laughter is not easy to come by in our mixed up fear driven world. Consequently Thought Provoking Dialogue sets out to challenge our sometimes negative mind-sets and self-limiting beliefs.

“Research shows that laughter can help to boost the immune system”

These workshops are all about therapeutic uses of humour and a Thought Provoking approach to real change. An absolute must for therapists, coaches, trainers and all people helpers! Phil Jeremiah was one of Frank Farrelly’s ( Provocative Therapy ) earliest and brightest students.

NLP Clean Language Clean Therapy ™ Part Two | Demonstration Newcastle upon Tyne

The second part of a demonstration of Clean Language moving into aspects of the Clean Therapy ™ Model for exploring, generating and engendering a Solution Focused Metaphor approach to Problems.

Front Line Skills – Advanced Therapist training course begins February 2011 which include a Clean Therapy ™ certification.

The Fastest Way To Create Resource States NLP

The fastest most robust way to generate resource states is using a variant of NLP Eye Movement Integration called Lazy Eights. This is a technique I have developed and find this continues to get amazing results very fast.

This clip is from an Ericksonian Clinical Hypnotherapy training I delivered in Alaska earlier this year. The process is very simple to use and is demonstrated step by step in this video.

What will you get by choosing this course?

  • Qualification recognised, approved and validated by the GHSC, GHR and SNLP.
  • Complementary access to The Trance Cafe – Hypnotherapy Practice Group
  • Complementary assistance on setting up your business after your graduation
  • Complementary supervision for 6 months after your graduation
  • Competency and confidence in your professional hypnotherapy skills

On successful completion of this course you will have all the skills to effectively and ethically assist your clients to make the changes the require.

It also means you WILL NOT be reading scripts to them because you will be really conversant in solution focused hypnotic language patterns and acting fully in the role of a Professional Hypnotherapist so this way your attention will be focused in the correct place – your client.

“If you’re looking to kick-start, jump or extend your client facing skills, this course is a MUST. I’ve ‘kissed a few frogs’ over the years, in other words, done loads of NLP and hypnosis courses and some of the things that frustrated me were the lack of real life experience of the trainers, real life application of the content and the intellectual snobbery and jargon. You know, when you say to yourself “But how could I use this in REAL life, with REAL clients?”

That’s not the case at all with Communicating Excellence’s course. The trainers are SO down to earth, yet SO sophisticated and SO funny, you’ll find yourself learning, laughing and experimenting your way to a new level of skill and qualification. The training has an overt NLP focus, so ideal for you if you have some understanding of this field. In fact, even as a Trainer of NLP, my NLP repertoire was significantly expanded and enriched, while learning a complete set of hypnotherapy skills. Double bonus.

You’ll find yourself in a friendly, light-hearted, warm, supportive environment, with the emphasis on experimentation and playfulness. Supporting materials are excellent. I can’t recommend this course highly enough. If you’re looking for Hypnotherapy & NLP skills and qualifications, your search is over. Good decision!“

Newcastle Hypnosis Practice Group | December 1st | Mastering Hypnotic Language

This month, Wednesday 1st December, The Trance Cafe in Newcastle upon Tyne is Mastering Hypnotic Language with Clinical Newcastle Hypnotherapist Nigel Hetherington.

The topic is the STRUCTURE of hypnotic or influential communications with our selves and others. This is an opportunity to expand and equally condense our skills in HOW to ethically motivate and actualise all people towards a more complete authenticity in their life, relationships and business.

Specifically we will be using language as a way to powerfully influence and direct us towards our goals and objectives in a person to person, person to culture and person to society way, specifically with the language we use.

The structure of hypnotic and influential communications basically has two parts. Firstly the integral intention that drives us and secondly in how we as members of our culture and society use our words and values to share and hopefully influence each and everyone we communicate with.

Mastering Hypnotic Language

Facilitator : Nigel Hetherington

Entry Level : Open To All

Places are limited to 15 so book in advance to guarantee your place

Master Hypnotic Language Rapidly with Hypnosis Language Structure Mastery Cards ©

HOW EASILY WOULD YOU LIKE TO MASTER EFFECTIVE HYPNOTIC COMMUNICATION?

AND

WHAT ABOUT KNOWING HOW TO FLUENTLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY TALK HYPNOSIS AND TRANCE?

BECAUSE

YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THE DEEP STRUCTURES OF TRANCE AND HYPNOTIC LANGUAGE

Before I share a very exciting and highly effective way you can both master and further develop your hypnotic language skills I want to share a short story of how this all came about.

I also would like to orientate your attention to a new and completely innovative product for learning and mastering the structure of hypnotic communications :

‘Hypnosis Edition‘ Language Structure Mastery Cards ©

First a testimonial from Bill O Hanlon

“When I teach people hypnosis, they often ask me for some script to use until they become more confident. I am opposed to scripts since each individual and hypnotic situation is unique.


Nigel Hetherington has come up with a perfectly entrancing solution-combinable cards that help generate unique hypnotic phrasing and language and helps you learn and master the patterns of hypnosis without being formulaic.



How I wish I had these when I was learning hypnosis.
”

Bill O’Hanlon, student of Milton H. Erickson and author of Taproots, An Uncommon Casebook, Solution-Oriented Hypnosis and A Guide to Trance Land


Now here is the story of how the Hypnosis Language Structure Mastery Cards © came about …

Five years ago in early 2005 I created a set of Hypnosis Language Cards that were designed to help students on my Clinical Hypnotherapy Trainings obtain a rapid and deeper understanding of the Structure of Hypnotic communications. Over the past five years these cards have undergone substantial development and testing and have received more massively positive feedback that you can see below.  

“The Hypnosis Language Structure Mastery Cards developed by Nigel Hetherington exemplify the essence of NLP & Ericksonian Hypnotherapy; that there is indeed structure to the language of influence!

Integrating his background as a mathematician / computer programmer / Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Trainer with his deep love for the “words that change”, Nigel invites us to integrate the left and right hemispheres of our own experience with specific exercises that challenge and entertain. The genius of it all is the manner in which we, as learners, are encouraged to co-create hypnotic language patterns of our own, such that every time you play these learning games, the experience is as new and different as the first time you open up the set! Enjoy!”

Michael DeMolina, MS, LPC, Psychotherapist, NLP/Hypnotherapy Trainer ( Alaska )

In 2001 I literally devoted all of my spare time to learning hypnosis yet specifically, working as a software designer and mathematician ( who hates formulas ) I was really drawn to the structure or the foundational principles that glued hypnotic communications together. I read every book and script I could get my hands on. I wrote thousands of pages of Hypnosis Language Patterns. I listened to tapes, CD’s and watched hundreds of hours of video and DVD’s.  Hypnosis and NLP honestly became my life and passion. It literally spoke to me.

I recall in October 2003 being on holiday in Spain having recently enrolled on an NLP Practitioner course. I had already enjoyed two years of NLP Introductions and other personal development courses and products. And at that time, in Xavia, I was reading the Structure Of Magic ( Bandler and Grinder ) and was in love with the Meta Model. The labels meant nothing yet at the same time the structure and deep structure touched me in ways that literally opened up new and different ways to Communicate with myself and with others. This was also the time I was reading ‘Patterns One; The ‘Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton Erickson’ ( Bandler and Grinder ) and I was seeing life and new possibilities opening up in a very different way. I recall my then partner saying to me “You love Hypnosis and NLP more than me!”

“Having trained with Nigel and then with Christina Hall I believed I had a very clear understanding and fluency of hypnotic language…..that was until I received and played with the Hypnosis Language Structure Mastery Cards.

Since training in both NLP and Hypnosis I’ve been recording relaxation audios with a favourable response and once I played with the cards I created a few more. I’m overwhelmed by the response of my new recordings and the difference is without doubt the deep embedment of language through the use of these cards.

Furthermore it’s opened up new ways of coaching clients that have expanded my fluency with precision. The shifts my clients are making are immediate and highly sustainable. And the ‘piece de resistance’ is that it all comes at a time when I’m writing my first book – I’ll let your imagination guide you to how that will transpire. I have no doubt it will be a best-seller in its field and all because…..

With a background in NLP or Hypnosis these cards is a must to expand your resources without effort. And if you have a background in any kind of therapy they are essential should you want to cut straight through the ‘story’ of the client and get deep within minutes. As a rapport tool this second to none.“

Paula McCormack – The UK’s Social Leader Coach

This was very true and I realised then I was following my bliss.

A testimonial from Andy Smith – Emotional Intelligence Guru

“Brilliant, and an entirely original idea


It’s not often that an entirely new idea comes along in the field of NLP training aids, but this is one.


Unlike most NLP card sets, the Hypnosis Language Structure Mastery Cards don’t bother with trying to double as playing cards. This is a relief – as both a trainer and a participant, I always found that trying to play a card game (as recommended by, for example, Zebu and Salad cards) just got in the way of learning language patterns.

Instead, the Language Structure cards (as I’ll call them from now on) consist of hypnotic phrases, connecting words, and various kinds of qualifying, intensifying and time denoting phrases. The student uses the cards by first laying them out in patterns which are structured, but random as regards content. These patterns are simple to start with, but can become increasingly complex as more categories of phrases are added in.

The learning takes place as the student reads the cards aloud, in a hypnotic tonality – backwards! If the cards are laid out in a matrix structure, they can be read forwards, backwards, up, or down. In this way the student picks up the structure of hypnotic language – essentially phrases linked by conjunctions and qualifiers – without getting bogged down in choosing what to say for the content.

Another nice thing about these cards is that on the (surprisingly rare) occasions where the resulting sentences don’t make sense on the page (as it were), the student gains practice in pacing and pausing the vocal delivery to make it sound as the language patterns make sense.

The analogy that springs to mind is of a musician practicing scales. It’s not the finished work, but the practice is familiarising the performer with the structure of music, and getting skills into the muscle, unconsciously, to free up the conscious mind to concentrate on the meaning and emotional content of the finished performance.

These cards are a great idea (one I wish I’d had) and should be in the toolkit of every trainer teaching Ericksonian hypnosis and the Milton Model.“

Andy Smith – Manchester Emotional Intelligence

So … following on … I resigned from my software developer job in 2005 and launched my company Communicating Excellence. I was then and am now following my calling in facilitating the totally positive and life enhancing art and science of NLP and Clinical Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. One of the major aspects of this kind of change work and facilitation is very naturally language, and this is of course Hypnotic Language – The Language of Influence and Change.

What I have created with the help and assistance of all my students and peers over this last five years is different to anything else out there and is a very simple and particularly easy way to rapidly master and use hypnotic communications. It is designed to totally condense and rapidly accelerate your learning and your ongoing mastery process of hypnotic language.

I want to say, deepest thanks and gratitude to all my students, friends and peers who have greatly assisted in the development and thorough testing of the Communicating Excellence :

This excellent value training begins in January 2011 and concludes in June. The Newcastle NLP Practitioner training course is three days Friday-Sunday each month. This course is certified training from the UK based Professional Guild of NLP and the International SNLP and facilitated by top north east NLP Professionals.

We all experience and face common frustrations and problems just about each and every day. Here are just some of them:

  • Wasting Time and Energy Worrying about the NOW…
  • Wasting Time and Energy Worrying about the future ( Anxiety )
  • Economy and Money
  • Your Job Security
  • Your Relationships both Personal and Professional
  • You are not happy or satisfied with you present situation
  • A lack motivation
  • Wanting to turn your life around
  • Worried about paying your bills
  • Unable to get on better with others and yourself

Neurolinguistic Programming or NLP is a kind of pseudo psychology developed in the 1970’s. It has grew to massive fame in the UK largely because of Paul Mckenna’s TV shows. NLP is a successful and powerful way of running your own brain, increasing your confidence, managing your state as well as learning and developing ethical influencing and communication tools. It is also a great deal of fun in the learning! You will make great new friends and meet very like minded people.

“Excellent content, great presentation, great group. All of it linked together, I have really enjoyed it and learned a lot from the course, very useful.“

Kim – Manager Outdoor Activity Centre

Taking an NLP Practitioner training will of course not solve each and every one of your problems yet it will give you tools you can use to take much more control of your life and generally feel much better about it. You will change the way you think and interact with others. You will learn how to get on much better with people and literally talk their language.

What you will get from this experiential NLP Practitioner training.

  1. Being able to communicate powerfully will be much easier for you. You’ll have the skills to easily develop rapport with anyone you meet.
  2. You will be able to recognise and speak other people’s inner language. We all communicate in ways that very persuasive to us but below the level of conciousness. You’ll be able to tune in, see where they are coming from, make contact with people in new ways.
  3. You will be able to change the way that you think. It ain’t what you think, it’s the way that you think it. Subjective experience has a structure, learn how to change the structure and you change the experience..
  4. ‘You will learn how to have your unconscious mind work for you instead of against you Sometimes we seem to do things that make no conscious sense and no matter how hard we try we are not able to talk ourselves out of them. You will learn how to harness the power of the subconscious and resolve inner conflicts.
  5. You will have the tools to model other peoples skills. Modelling is the fundamental NLP technology of how to acquire new skills. In this training you will learn two ways to model skills from others.

Elements of Generative Change

An exploration of the elements of assisting clients …

The process of generative change and opening possibilities to lead an even more meaningful and purposeful life is all about making connections between a goal or outcome and the inherent values, beliefs, purposes and motivations that are driving the outcome or goal.

By abstracting or generalising the driving forces or ‘what does this actually get you’ in terms of the goal you can assist your clients in experiencing the real purpose or meaning of their goal.
