Do I Have to Go on a Course to Learn NLP?
This is a common question I get asked and like everything in life, technically you can learn NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) on your own.
There is plenty of information out there about NLP; if you put NLP or Neuro Linguistics Programming into a search engine you will find numerous articles and factsheets. There are probably hundreds of books that cover every angle of NLP and of course if you have a look at You Tube etc, you will find thousands of videos on the subject.
So yes you can learn NLP on your own. But you will probably only learn the academic side of NLP. NLP is not just about the academics, it’s very much about the experience, and it’s often not until you understand the experience that you then truly understand the theory behind NLP.
Learning is a very individual thing, but in my opinion the best way to understand NLP is to go on a course. Find one that will give you a chance to participate in exercises, this will allow you to feel what the theory is talking about. Having this chance to experience the techniques that NLP teaches, is something that I highly recommend to anyone that really wants to understand NLP and all the amazing skills and techniques it will teach you. Also make sure that they provide licences with either Dr Richard Bandler or John Grinder’s signature. In other words research your trainers and their backgrounds and what type of licence you will get. There are a lot of people out there that are giving their version of NLP. Make sure you get a good qualification that will allow you to get insurance indemnity.
Having said that, If you are thinking about researching NLP for yourself, I would recommend that you start with Dr Richards Bandler’s Guide to Trance-formation, this is his latest book and contains the most relevant information. It is written very simply with exercises that you can try out for yourself. Any other authors you decide to follow start with their latest books and work backwards. NLP is constantly evolving, and you want to start with the most up to date information first. I would also recommend you read at least one of John Grinders books and also try Paul McKenna’s Change Your Life in 7 days as well as Michael Neill’s Super Coach. Although these last two books are not pure NLP, they use NLP theory and exercises for change.
There is one piece of advice I can give you in regard to NLP. You will know when you truly understand what the exercise or section is about because you will feel the change within you. If you are having no reaction to what you are learning, then I would suggest, in my opinion, that maybe you haven’t really totally understood it.
