Hypnosis & NLP - Education v Entertainment

Some people when they think about hypnosis, they think of swinging watches and people dancing with brooms! Unfortunately stage hypnosis has in my opinion given not done hypnosis any favours in terms of public perception and reputation. NLP has in my view similar problems with ludicrous claims of inexperienced NLPers trying to command 1000 pounds for a few hours "trippy chance" that is promised to change a person's life...

This "entertainment" aspect has no doubt produced a great deal of whooping and feel good sensations, but the problems occur when people with a very limited training beleive they can then work with really problematic client conditions. The NLP and Hypnosis skill sets can produce excellent results, but I can count on one hand the number of truly skilled individuals I have met over the years.

Finally to my amusement while writing this, I received an e-mail suggesting that if I attended a particular 3 day NLP course, 2009 would then be my best year yet! 2009 is actually proving to be my best year yet, but mainly through focussed hard work and application towards sorting the differences between what is in fact education and entertainment...
