NLP has changed my life after 15 years of severe anxiety I’m the best version of myself and lead such a happy life , I tell everyone about NLP it’s life changing 👏
I am a Psychologist with a PhD. With work experience for more than 20 years in a private clinic and as a professor in practically all public and private universities in my country. I have had to face criticism from both academia and non-academics for the same reasons that Damon cites and clarifies in this video, especially the fact that for years, NLP titles have been sold as lottery chances, without rationally evaluating whether the student is really qualified to help from NLP. I admire and thank Damon for this video. I will share it and as always, Damon greetings and thank you for your great contribution to the development of NLP. Dr. Joseph Cruz. Ph.D.
This!! 💛 Like in martial arts, if you wrap a fancy belt around yourself just to show off, you can get yourself in a very nasty situation with people who operate on a basic emotions. You are probably one of the very few people on the planet who teaches and develops *the NLP* :) Thank you for everything you do.
I started learning NLP 22 years ago. Later I spent a great amount of time learning hynpotherapy, solution focused coaching, mental coaching/training, systemic coaching. And in every field it is beneficial to use the skills and perspective I gained from learning NLP. A good friend of mine started learning NLP maybe 15 years ago, later he turned to hypnosystemic coaching and therapy. We both agree, that we wouldn't be where we are now without NLP. It makes learning and working with people so much easier. Even now, while I am studying mediation, I find links and build connections between NLP and mediation. I like to play with questions like: how could NLP improve systemic constellation work? how could NLP and hypnosis benefit from a more systemic or family therapeutic point of view? how to use sleight of mouth in mediation? etc. And I think it is useful to have several inner guides who are experts in their own fields - one of them should be NLPer. :-)
Good explanation. I went on a weekend course and have found using the communication and rapport concepts very useful in my work and personal life. Never did any other NLP stuff though. Cannot say enough about practice. It takes quite a lot to be able to apply it consistently.
Hey what’s up. I just had to stop by and say this. I remember your first videos. I see where you are now and I am so glad for you. You have been grinding for years and it’s good to see you having the success and reaping the benefits!!! Congratulations on all of your growth and success!
Bro you absolutely nailed it! I’ve been learning NLP science about 2010 I read books and practiced it in sales. I saw how powerful it was! This is the best video out on NLP. I am now in a Mental Health program and am a Mindset Coach. I enjoy your content. Thanks!
Great video, as a licensed therapist, PH.D canidate, IMHO NLP is amazing. Took neurotherapy course, all derived from NLP. Shout out to Steve and Connie, their books are treasures!!! I use NLP and EMI every day and have a wonderful outcomes.
Thank you SO much!! I was about to fork out a TON of money and still had some doubts about legitimacy and concerned about small amount of time - one weekend!! 😮
Thank you Damon, for this great summary. I learned NLP in the mid-eighties from a variety of places. Like you, I practiced my awareness skills and NLP skills daily for nearly two years. It has formed the foundation of everything I have done since. It also became such a strange and unknown world that I eventually began to wonder if it was a good thing to tell people you "did NLP." Alas. I will send some of my coaching students your way for sure!
So true. I can completely resonate with not even remembering or understanding NLP even after my Master practitioner training. I thought it was just me. I need a refresher asap!
Good job man! I graduated in psychology but never found my niche afterward. I'm really liking NLP now and I'm watching a lot of videos online(there's a ton of it) but you give a vibe that you know what u talking about. I'll watch every video of yours slowly, and one day have a video call with you for some coaching I hope. Keep going, coach!
Listening to this I am so grateful to my teacher and proper NLP training. We did 6 months of learning, supervised, guided and supported at every step of the way. So happy to be doing NLP for Trainer now and practicing daily NLP
I didn't know how wild the history of NLP was. I saw an interview with Hugh Jackman, he said he was shy and was having trouble getting in front of the camera, so he asked Tony Robbins for help, and he showed him how to create a new persona he called "Frank" who is full of confidence and is a great actor, so everytime he has to perform he puts on this Frank persona. Is this true NLP? can we learn this? If so, could you create a video about this? Thank you.
I don't know if that's true or not. What I can tell you is Steve Andreas' Self-Concept Model is the pinnacle of not just NLP but self-improvement and personal development. I have not come across its equal.
In recently finished NLP Practitioner a NLP Master courses and some techniques changed my world. Hope some stuff could be learned to every kid to better their life.
I've learned and applied so many things from Richard Bandler over the last 30 years. My life is significantly better and I will be eternally grateful to Richard for his influence. In addition to ideas, there is a lot to learn from how someone lives their life and agree that we can learn from anyone or anything (our learning is internal). One of the significant lessons I've learned from my perception of Richard's life is the nominalization of "genius." While I'm not familiar with a good verb version of "genius," it can be useful to think of "genius" as a process. And like any process, people can learn, practice and stop practicing genius. The legendary music producer Brian Eno coined the ter"m "scenius" to describe the collective version of genius. It might be that NLP was the result of people "genius-ing" together in an scenius-friendly environment. When the collaborative environment (scenius) changed, the genuising changed too.
I'm enrolled in your upcoming 2-day course as a starting point to learn and use more NLP methods in my youth career guidance work. You seem legit and genuine, but the fake "sale ends" timer to create scarcity is such a turn-off.
Excellent, I realize I need a refresh, some of the people I deal with are like ‘imprisoned wild horses’, I think I fear that they will ‘break’, I wonder why I chase ‘the clients’ confusion ? I have a resistance that has me guessing rather than following the model. Thanks❤️
Damon Cart, after hearing you list all the other self - growth/philosophies that you have studied over the years besides NLP. I'm curious, have you heard of or even studied 'the 3 principles' also known as 'the inside out paradigm'?
Great video. An issue that i have seen with the NLP community is that its so Tactic and Technique driven that there is no room or association to what context the pattern or technique would be useful. Didfferent Models were created for different reasons, and it is important to know the context in which those patterns and techniques were created and for what purpose and context. For example this pattern is used when blank. This pattern comes from blank and was used to blank. Can I get an Amen?!?!?!?!
@@DamonCart And that’s one of the things that separate you from the pack is that you do a masterful job at putting context to concept. I wish you the best and much success and who knows, I might pop up in a class one day.
I know who Tracy is but I'm not familiar with his work. I grew up with Zig Ziglar in my ear because my Dad listened to all of his stuff. Later, when I got into Jason Fladlien's webinar training, I wasn't surprised to find that Jason is a leading authority on Ziglar's work. Ziglar has the best summary for being a great salesperson ever: "You can have everything you want if you help others get what they want."
Well here's a novel question? you said Steve and Connie are the ones that you receive personal instruction from and you thought that they were the best. Did you take any personal training from Richard bandler or John Ginder? I'm pretty sure they still do training.... I know Richard does.... Just wondering because you said you read the books but did you have any personal experience with either one of them directly?
Did you do any training with Michael Hall, read any of his books or his take on NLP (Neurosemantics)? If so was it helpful? I’ve gotten a lot from his articles
I know Michael. I brought him to Santa Cruz to teach his Meta States Model. Michael is very smart and prolific. However, I didn't get a lot out of his models and I have some disagreements with his take on things.
@@DamonCart Thank you for replying I appreciate it. I remember watching your videos years ago when ur channel was smaller and I was looking into NLP as a curiosity but not taking it seriously. Your videos have improved a lot.
@@DamonCartI don’t expect a detailed response since I know you are busy with your life, but in short could you tell me what are your disagreements with his take?
@@Rum774 his idea of going ultra meta to everything isn't actually meta. His models don't got to a higher logical level. They actually go to a lower logical level. For example, let's say happiness as a category on a logical level. He would add something like Excited-Happiness and say that it's meta to happiness. Actually it's not. Excited-Happiness is a subcategory of happiness rather than meta to happiness. This might sound like "just semantics" but it's not. Logical levels is how you make sense of the world around you. It's how you make logical connections from one category to another. In other words, it's what ties together the meaning you make of yourself and your reality. It's really important to get this right. He doesn't get that part right and it makes his models less effective. Steve Andreas, my mentor, used to debate him on this topic. I've tried both Michael's Meta States Model and Steve's Self-Concept Model. Meta States might make you feel a buzz for a bit but it wears of fast. The Self-Concept Model will transform you and consequently transform your life. There's no comparison.
@@DamonCart I appreciate the thorough answer. I’ve payed around with the meta states ideas through the free articles on the Neurosemantic websites and my experience matches your short “buzz” description but since I’m practicing by myself with no feedback it’s easy to think “maybe I’m doing it wrong”.
Hey Damon I just had a really big concern about Nlp. I’m new to this but I feel like NLP isn’t working out for me. I have tried it out a couple times but I have a hard time actually getting somewhere with submodalities and increasing or decreasing the strength of a certain feeling or experience. It just feels like it doesn’t work. For example: like making an event brighter or increasing and decreasing the size of it or placing it anywhere doesn’t seem to have an effect. It just seems BS to me and I don’t know if it’s because I might be resisting it or I’m doing it wrong. Im 16 and I’m trying to resolve some inner conflicts and be unshakably confident. Im expressing these concerns from trying out the transforming limiting beliefs video with the concept of feeling “Q” and trying to make that feeling bigger so I can have it all the time. Did you also have a tough time at first? Any advice??
I can point to the events and I have a location for them, and I can see color submodalities only sometimes but most of the time it’s vague and just feels like I’m making stuff up and it doesn’t feel any different. Do I keep trying different techniques and keep experimenting with different submodalities?
You just need some guidance. It's awesome that you're working on this at 16. Stick with it and you'll live a completely different life (far better) than not doing this. It sounds like you're trying to go at confidence directly. That doesn't work. Without competence, there is no true confidence. Without competence, what appears to be confidence, is arrogance. There is a deeper inner wisdom within you that knows this and is probably keeping you from inflating your ego. Some people use NLP to do this and they succeed at doing it and it only makes them narcissistic. They become miserable and entitled and they don't accomplish much. Watch the videos I've done on conflict integration. I wouldn't use submodalities to resolve a conflict. Get Steve Andreas' book Transforming Your Self if you want to transform qualities. Do every exercise in it. Ask me for help if you don't understand something. The confidence will come, but first you need to work with what you have and organize your internal representations to serve who you want to become. It's okay to not be confident about something. That's just your inner wisdom letting you know that you need competence in that area first. One thing you are competent at is learning. You've been doing it your whole life, from the time you were born. You learned a language without even trying. You learned to walk without ever setting a goal to do it. When you lack confidence about something, put your attention on the fact that you can learn how to do it. Be confident about your ability to learn.
@@DamonCart okay. Conflict integration, Steve Andreas book, and competence first. Thanks, and I’ll make every effort to keep NLP in my life as you said it’s an amazing thing to always have and practice.
some would say that accreditations are a waste of time, I think I would agree with that for sure. If we are thinking of University based 'accreditation', they are simply silos, different organisations inventing standards etc. . I accredit my trainings, what does it mean, nothing, I have it because my students asked for it, I do at least have an insurance company that backs it. oh, and I do fail people. There are a lot of people out there are producing books and videos to establish themselves as an authority, it is a shame.
Oh, jeeze. Every skill is like this: You must continually practice and learn more or you forget and go backwards. I'm in a different field than you, but the continuing education courses never stop. And sometimes the cost is above a person's means, so they have to shop around for useful training while avoiding low-value (and high priced) wastes of time.
What is one tool, trick or technique that you recommend I try as a beginner that will have a big impact on me if I work on it ? Im just trying to see if this actually works on me.
Your approach is normal for someone who is new to NLP, but if you really want NLP to work for you, don't focus on cool tricks and techniques. NLP has them, but that kind of approach usually leads people to play around with NLP and then move on without ever realizing how useful it can be as a lifelong practice.
Is it true that NLP can help me defeat my Disturbances and Mental issues? And i hear as well it teach you to support yourself by yourself so it's okey if you stay alone ?
Please correct if I'm wrong. My understanding is the only possible suspects in the murder case were Bandler & the drug dealer? Did they both go to trail & neither was convicted because of insufficient evidence. Again, feel free to correct.
Correct. The drug dealer went to the police first and got immunity for naming Bandler as the killer. Bandler blamed the drug dealer. The trial ended with Bandler being acquitted.
@@DamonCart Watching Altered States: The Richard Bandler Story, I got Richard & his lawyer's side of the story. It very much looks like Richard was framed. Framed in that it went to trail with the testimony of the drug dealer & all the lies & manipulations of the Santa Cruz P.D. & the prosecutors. I'd only add that this does seem to be a dark night of the soul period for Richard, his addictions at the time & who he was hanging out with. But again, please correct or clarify? Altered States: The Richard Bandler Story is on youtube btw.
@@fasteddylove-muffin6415 yes, I've seen it. I can't corroborate lies and manipulations by Santa Cruz PD. I don't know the story in that much detail. It definitely didn't look good for Bandler when he seemed to have no motivation to notify the police that his secretary had been murdered. That doesn't mean that he murdered her, but it's bad regardless.
In my original script for this video I wrote that NLP earned both a negative and positive reputation. While it's true, it's bad writing when you say one thing and then immediately cancel it by saying the opposite. It usually causes people to tune out.
@@DamonCart Yes I did. By reading a lot of Ramana Maharshi/Bhagavad Gita. The Ashtavakrs Gita is an entire book about break out of a still framed inner map to perceive objective reality. It’s the same thing with different terms. Just wanted another opinion.
@@angeloreyes707 NLP is not derived from spiritual texts. I've studied Zen Buddhism and non-duality and there is overlap with NLP because they all deal with consciousness and awareness, but they're all very different. NLP is based on modeling.
Is there a NLP Dobson model? An NLP Dobson technique? I never said that the three people modeled in which NLP is primarily based on were the only people studied. How long do you want this video to be? Do I have to mention every aspect and every person involved to satisfy everyone? Geez.
NO FATHER! I WILL NEVER JOIN THE DARK SIDE. But we can still rule the universe together. You're not really dark Ross. You just like playing the villain. You've helped too many men heal themselves to be on the dark side.

Great review of the history. Nice to see the props to Steve and Connierae - I was in Boulder way back when. Their books hold enormous value.
Good explanation. I went on a weekend course and have found using the communication and rapport concepts very useful in my work and personal life. Never did any other NLP stuff though. Cannot say enough about practice. It takes quite a lot to be able to apply it consistently.

I accredit my trainings, what does it mean, nothing, I have it because my students asked for it, I do at least have an insurance company that backs it. oh, and I do fail people. There are a lot of people out there are producing books and videos to establish themselves as an authority, it is a shame.
Make a video on how to know if a NLP cert or teacher is legitimate
Oh, jeeze. Every skill is like this: You must continually practice and learn more or you forget and go backwards. I'm in a different field than you, but the continuing education courses never stop. And sometimes the cost is above a person's means, so they have to shop around for useful training while avoiding low-value (and high priced) wastes of time.
What's the "Oh, jeeze" about?
Have you looked into Eugene Gendlin's Focusing?
I have not.
Where can I buy Steve's book 'transforming yourself'
Amazon
You're so lucky to have studied with Steve Andreas ... did you ever meet Al and Marylin Sargent? just curious
Yes, I'm fortunate in that regard.
No, I have never met them.
What is one tool, trick or technique that you recommend I try as a beginner that will have a big impact on me if I work on it ? Im just trying to see if this actually works on me.
Your approach is normal for someone who is new to NLP, but if you really want NLP to work for you, don't focus on cool tricks and techniques. NLP has them, but that kind of approach usually leads people to play around with NLP and then move on without ever realizing how useful it can be as a lifelong practice.
Richard Bandler is the reincarnation of Dr Charcot, the famous neurologist.
Milton Erickson, Socrates.
Is it true that NLP can help me defeat my Disturbances and Mental issues? And i hear as well it teach you to support yourself by yourself so it's okey if you stay alone ?
Yes, it can help you with your mental health. If you have any major mental issues, seek help from a licensed professional.
@DamonCart Appreciate it. It can be big but i don't have the ability to see professional buut i got it alone
you don't take live classes online, please correct if am wrong?
I do an hour long workshop once a month or I have a guest come on, usually a renowned NLP teacher, to give a presentation.
Wow
Please correct if I'm wrong. My understanding is the only possible suspects in the murder case were Bandler & the drug dealer?
Did they both go to trail & neither was convicted because of insufficient evidence.
Again, feel free to correct.
Correct. The drug dealer went to the police first and got immunity for naming Bandler as the killer. Bandler blamed the drug dealer. The trial ended with Bandler being acquitted.
@@DamonCart Watching Altered States: The Richard Bandler Story, I got Richard & his lawyer's side of the story. It very much looks like Richard was framed. Framed in that it went to trail with the testimony of the drug dealer & all the lies & manipulations of the Santa Cruz P.D. & the prosecutors.
I'd only add that this does seem to be a dark night of the soul period for Richard, his addictions at the time & who he was hanging out with.
But again, please correct or clarify?
Altered States: The Richard Bandler Story is on youtube btw.
@@fasteddylove-muffin6415 yes, I've seen it. I can't corroborate lies and manipulations by Santa Cruz PD. I don't know the story in that much detail. It definitely didn't look good for Bandler when he seemed to have no motivation to notify the police that his secretary had been murdered. That doesn't mean that he murdered her, but it's bad regardless.
Saying NLP earned "quite a reputation" is artfully vague. Not necessarily a positive reputation.
In my original script for this video I wrote that NLP earned both a negative and positive reputation. While it's true, it's bad writing when you say one thing and then immediately cancel it by saying the opposite. It usually causes people to tune out.
Is NLP essentially just spiritual texts with new age wording?
How did you come up with that? Did you watch the video?
The Anal Exploration of the Structure of Subjective Experience seems soooo far from New Age Woo Woo. Lol
@@DamonCart Yes I did. By reading a lot of Ramana Maharshi/Bhagavad Gita. The Ashtavakrs Gita is an entire book about break out of a still framed inner map to perceive objective reality. It’s the same thing with different terms. Just wanted another opinion.
@@paulv7744 wait the Anal wut
@@angeloreyes707 NLP is not derived from spiritual texts. I've studied Zen Buddhism and non-duality and there is overlap with NLP because they all deal with consciousness and awareness, but they're all very different. NLP is based on modeling.
You gave zero credit to Dr to david Dobson. Erickson was NOT the only hypnotist studied!
Is there a NLP Dobson model? An NLP Dobson technique? I never said that the three people modeled in which NLP is primarily based on were the only people studied. How long do you want this video to be? Do I have to mention every aspect and every person involved to satisfy everyone? Geez.
This pure NLP
Just say no to vocal fry
I'll keep that in mind.
Neuro associative conditioning
It's so outdated. We're not Pavlov's dogs. Even dogs respond better to relationship than conditioning.
@DamonCart I think that what Tony Robbins re referred nlp, it in his book Unlimited Power
@@irreduciblerascal In his early books he referenced NLP. Later he stared calling it Neuro Associative Conditioning.
Uh huh
bro what is this ChaT GPT script ur reading 😂😂😂
How cute. You made a joke. Very proud of you.
COME TO THE DARK SIDE OF NLP, DAMON. TOGETHER, WE CAN RULE THE NLPVERSE
NO FATHER! I WILL NEVER JOIN THE DARK SIDE. But we can still rule the universe together.
You're not really dark Ross. You just like playing the villain. You've helped too many men heal themselves to be on the dark side.
