NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. EFT for Emotional Freedom Technique.
NLP and EFT; Both are tools in the healing arsenal of some Hypnotherapists. As stand-alone therapies for permanent resolution of emotional issues and implementation of life-changes their effectiveness is questionable at best and certainly ‘evidence' is hard to come by. Certain aspects of either, employed strategically in therapy conducted by a competent Hypnotherapist, can be helpful to the outcome in certain cases.
Most professional hypnotherapists have practiced very successfully for years without using either ‘tool'. A few more recent hypnotherapists swear by NLP and make the use of NLP primary in their practices… however the success of their NLP treatments cannot be confirmed objectively. It would seem that the success claimed is likely attributable to the influence of the hypnosis and hypnotherapeutic techniques rather then to the NLP techniques alone. Without the hypnosis, it is doubtful that NLP or EFT are effective.
GracePlace Wellness™ feels that since we are practicing client-centered therapy, the needs of the client dictate, not the preferences of the therapist. We know of no time when NLP and EFT would be essential to successful hypnotherapeutic outcome. Most certainly we know of no case where the absence of NLP or EFT techniques caused hypnotherapy intervention to be unsuccessful. Occasionally it is clear that certain aspects of one or the other or both tools would be helpful to achieving the goal of the client and we use the tool(s) to a measured extent. Given the number of clients who have sought our hypnotherapy services after trying NLP and/or EFT therapy alone, we concluded that neither of these, as stand-alone therapies, are successful for permanently and effectively resolving most issues of life.
In Summary: At the very least, if you are considering using self-hypnosis, NLP, EFT or any other ‘technique' for healing and self-discovery, take the time to consult with a competent Hypnotherapist to ensure you have all the facts before jumping to what may seem like a ‘quick fix'. GracePlace Wellness™ is always happy to help you sort out the facts…simply contact us at your convenience.
