By studying the structure of experience, NLP creates methods and ways to model it in order to improve it. The resulting images are subsequently transferred to other people. Otherwise, we can say that if the first person can do something, the second one can do the same. It is only necessary to identify the algorithm of actions of the first and teach this to the second.

NLP models skills

By analyzing the behaviors of other people, neurolinguistic programming snatches useful, necessary skills from them, from which a model of the correct behavior for certain situations of effective behavior is created.

Unlike a classical psychologist, an NLP specialist does not correct the patient's mind, but puts a ready-made successful behavioral model into it.

Hypnosis in NLP

Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques are largely based on the principles of Erickson's hypnotic therapy. However, this method focuses more on hypnosis and the trance state itself, while NLP explores human skill structures, modeling the right skills and teaching them to others.

Hypnotic influence in neurolinguisticprogramming is based on the technique of conversational hypnosis. This technique consists of verbal techniques that affect the opponent and allow you to achieve the desired result in any area of activity. Most often, the "template break" acts as an instrument of influence.

Specialists in this field are sure that in order to achieve success anywhere, it is not necessary to fill bumps, it is enough just to learn how to copy an effective behavior model.

The first way to manipulate consciousness: "anchor"

As mentioned above, with the help of NLP, people can effectively influence the consciousness of not only strangers, but also their own, fight their fears, achieve the desired results in a particular activity. There are two methods that are used for this purpose - "anchor" and "pattern break".

"Anchor" - a positive emotion, a good memory, a pleasant feeling. Setting the anchor is not difficult. For example, after a job well done, pleasant sensations in the form of some kind of tangible or intangible reward can be used. It is believed that a patient with an established "anchor" will be highly motivated to achieve success.

The second way to manipulate consciousness

Another method for influencing the mind that NLP offers is "pattern breaking". This is considered a typical behavior or sequence of actions in a given situation. Regardless of his desire, a person over timeworks out something to automatism. Behavioral patterns facilitate the work of consciousness, freeing it from the monotonous obligation to make the same decisions every minute.

A pattern break is an unexpected phrase or non-standard action performed in a normal situation. Templates are broken to achieve inner freedom, the emergence of new ideas, the development of phobias.

Such techniques as "anchor" and "template break", psychology in its classical manifestation does not recognize. However, practice shows that, despite this, the treatment brings positive results.

Pattern break: examples and situations

Typical examples of pattern behavior are:

• Reciprocal handshake. The man held out his hand to you, and you shook it immediately.
• Your doorbell rang and you immediately went to open it.
• When asked how you are, you answer without hesitation that it's good.
• When the phone rings, you pick up the phone.
• If someone yells at you, you either get offended or raise your voice in response.

Breaking the pattern is easy. Choose the behavior you want to change and act in the opposite or unexpected way. Examples include the following situations:

• After a quarrel, don't continue to delve into a gloomy internal dialogue, but sing a cheerful song or jump on one leg.
• If you are used to going to work and home on the same route,change it. Take a different route or take a different bus.
• Start doing something you've never done before. For example: remove the garbage near your entrance. After all, no one pays attention to him. Or help a first grader cross the street early in the morning when everyone is rushing to work and no one cares.
• For example, are you used to having dinner at home all the time? Change the habit. Go to a cafe for lunch.

Techniques and ways to break the template

Have you ever wondered how the person to whom you offered your hand to greet, but pulled it back halfway? Or when asked how you are doing, will you begin to tell in detail and in detail how you are doing?

Of course one will be confused. It is a kind of trance in which the interlocutor will be for a short period of time.

A person can fall into such a short-term trance only when the template break occurs on your initiative. Trance is not an end, it is only a means to achieve it.

Your task is to influence the behavior of the interlocutor in such a way as to benefit from it. The secret of manipulation is that in the middle of confusion, the influencer asks a question of interest to him, a request, inserts a certain sentence. While in a trance, a person will be ready to perform any task suggested to him. This is the neurolinguistic technique. Breaking the template must happen suddenly, otherwise you will not get the expected effect.
