Why do hypnotherapy and NLP work well together?
Because the field of NLP (FoNLP) provides techniques which, when used correctly, can boost the hypnotherapist’s communication skills.
Please note that NLP itself is a specific, non-analytical modelling technique – NOT a form of psychotherapy. In fact, though the FoNLP includes a wide variety of techniques, only a handful are remedial in nature. The rest are generative (designed to improve the current situation, NOT to put something right.)
The individual therapies focus on the conscious mind (NLP) and the subconscious mind (hypnotherapy). By combining them together we have a more complete and supportive way of working with the mind. Although each technique is excellent in its own right, together they provide a more powerful treatment than using the therapies in isolation. NLP tends to provide the conscious motivation and hypnotherapy the subconscious stimuli to help successfully change behaviour.
