If Diets Work
If diets work, why is it that so many of us are continually on one? When a person goes on a diet, they are, by definition cutting back, denying themselves, reducing their intake. Does this make you want your favourites less? Read more

Fear management and the Quantum NLP perspective
We were forwarded a link to a Times On Line publication today entitled ‘How to forget fear’. You can click here, as we have posted the full article on our site. Having read through the article, it highlights the neuroscience studies around chemical intervention on phobic type memories. The article implies that this is new science, and that, with the right (chemical) intervention, an individual can ‘re-write’ scary memories.
As always, there is no reference to any other work relating to re-writing, re-imprinting or scrambling unwanted or unuseful memories. We seem to recall that a guy by the name of Richard Bandler came up with a technique that provided similar results – all be it without the introduction of chemicals. Dr Bandler had noticed the way traditional therapy dealt with phobias was by trying to establish Why a person had a phobia, and then attempted to “Desensitise” the phobic reaction. This was (and is) typically by making a person face the situation that caused the reaction again and again. Bandler also noticed that the success of this type of intervention was not great.
By using NLP, Bandler modelled those who did have a phobia, but had managed to get over it. He was looking to identify what they did differently that enabled them to stop having the severe reaction. Eventually he arrived at a model of the thoughts and behaviours or characteristics that was common amongst this group, and then developed and refined the technique that became known as the “NLP Fast Phobia Cure”.
This technique was field tested on hundreds of people with phobias, with positive results. Instead of taking many sessions to desensitise the phobic, sometimes with drugs, Bandler was achieving success in as little as one session. This technique has been part of the classic training in NLP, and so many NLpers have helped many thousands of people around the world to overcome phobias of Flying, Confined Spaces, Spiders, Snakes, Lifts and Elevators, Public Speaking, Crowds, Driving and many others. We, at Quantum, have had major successes using this technique, some of which are highlighted on the Testimonials page. Once again, it would seem that science is catching up with and validating where NLP has been.

Quantum NLP book reviews
We have begun to post book reviews on the site to give you our thoughts on, not just NLP titles, but also books from other disciplines that are supportive of NLP or have an overlap to things relating to NLP. Our map is not the territory, so, whilst our views are valid they are not gospel. If you like the review and accept the thoughts – great! If you have an alternative perspective – great! The world is as we experience it. You can add your comments or discussion points on the blog page. Have a look at the reviews on the Quantum Book Review page.

The Last Practitioner of 2009
Phase one of the last practitioner for 2009 happened this weekend (6th – 9th November) at our centre on the shores of beautiful Rutland Water. We get fantastic groups every time we run a course, and this was no exception. A great group, with an eclectic mix of first time NLPers, sales people, engineers, a person who wants to add NLP to their healing portfolio and a couple of senior executives with multi-national organisations as well! Whilst most were new to NLP, two of the group had attended an NLP practitioner before and were looking for refreshment. Most wanted to develop skills that were applicable in both their personal and business lives, some were looking to add to their skills for their new vocations, and some who came with the primary focus of developing themselves. A group of inquisitive explorers who are happy to question, test and challenge – this is what NLP is all about!! They will complete on the weekend of 27th – 29th of November 2009. What a Christmas present!!!

We have published a page that covers off both the Kotter models of change as well as the Kouze and Posner change leadership challenge. The document can be found at ‘Leading Change’.
