What Is NHR? - by Kate Regan Benson
Kate Benson, International Director for Education for the Society for Neuro-Linguistic Programming describes another of Richard Bandler's technologies: NHR.
So, what is Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning?
Dr Bandler says: "This is about using very deep trance tools to be able to make very pervasive changes across a wide range of behaviour to teach people the most important thing, which is to spend more time practising feeling good than they do feeling bad."
He continues:
"When I started Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning I decided that people were not having enough fun. It’s not that you're not capable of it; it's just that you are not using your neurology that way. I wanted to get people out of the personal jails that they build for themselves so they'll have greater freedom - because ALL my work is about personal freedom."
NHR takes you beyond communication skills, beyond persuasion and enables you to utilize the chemistry and neurology of your own brain and body to bring about changes in your beliefs, thoughts and feelings. It moves you swiftly, painlessly and with laughter into better ways of being.
Business, Sales, Traditional and Complementary Medicine, Teaching, Training, Media and Advertising, Parenting, Psychology, Therapy, Coaching, Engineering and Sports are only some of the areas that NHR enhances.
So, how does it work?
NHR uses the hypnotic process to restructure experiences that people have at the neurological and chemical level. Instead of teaching people to lead with their minds, NHR teaches you to lead with your feelings. You learn to saturate your neurology with the chemicals that make you feel good. If you get your whole body in the right state there’s just about nothing a human being can’t do. NHR enables you to redesign the way you connect with yourself physically, mentally and, to some extent, spiritually.
What is the difference between NLP and NHR?
NHR is a means of applying the great skills taught in the NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner courses.
Here's what Dr Richard Bandler says;
"Think of the many things people do, like being afraid or being depressed, a lot of these things create a chemical base in the body. NHR changes the way you have these feelings and changes responses before people get in the chemical bath of depression or suddenly get angry or be afraid or shy. They have to start being shy at a certain point and so before they do you can get them to do something else more worthwhile instead. As our knowledge of the chemistry of the brain increases, so too will our ability to control it spiritually, mentally and physically. It is a great and wonderful new adventure as a new vista of knowledge unfolds before us."
The unique way Dr Bandler and John LaValle teach, means that if you are new to NLP you gain skills quickly and easily to make the changes you want and to help others too. More advanced practitioners will massively increase their effectiveness and add elegance to their work. You will find that you can build flexibility and deep change into your work with yourself and others.
