This book is an advanced, modern NLP manual for therapists and coaches who want to expand and update their use of Neuro Linguistic Programming. The concepts and methods I describe come from extensive experience in the field with a broad variety of clients. This book takes on three unique training challenges: First, to provide techniques in the context of the work. For example, the techniques are described in terms of how they link one phase of your work with the next; secondly, to provide very condensed techniques that target a very specific purpose and moment in the work; and… thirdly, to provide fundamental understandings about Neuro Linguistic Programming that will improve your ability to develop methods, customize your approach to the individual client, and improvise.
