Feel Confident Helping Clients Heal Pain and Brain Injury
A weekend with Richard Bolstad
Prerequisite: Open entry but recommended at least 2 days of NLP Training. This course is not currently scheduled.
The word “Neuro” in “Neuro-Linguistic Programming” suggests that NLP could be of benefit when someone has experienced neurological damage such as from a stroke or an automobile accident. It also suggests that we could have some affect on pain, an experience which is entirely generated inside the neurological system. Milton Erickson worked with many cases of severe pain and neurological damage, and the original developers of NLP studied this work extensively. But many NLP Practitioners do not know where to start in helping people who face the very real results of neurological damage and physical pain. In this workshop you will learn what can be done using NLP and Hypnosis for these conditions. You will understand the incredible importance of preframing and creating useful beliefs. You will identify what can be done immediately and what requires perhaps weeks or months to achieve. You will develop an increased sense of your own ability to take charge of your body by using your own nervous system. You will learn how to help others to do the same.
At this two day training you will:
- Understand the biological basis of brain damage, and the biological processes behind pain
- Learn how to set up useful beliefs and models of the world to support physical healing in such conditions
- Learn hypnotherapeutic methods for one session ending of pain’
- Identify the range of NLP interventions for brain injury
- Increase your skill and confidence working with physical neurological conditions
