<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Client arrived for her NLP consultation presenting with very low mood, she had recently been to her GP who prescribed her anti-depressants, this was 4 weeks ago and her mood is still low. On entry to the treatment room she presented with quite hunched shoulders and sad expression on her face.\u00a0 She told me that two years ago she suffered from breast cancer, and she had a continual worry of this recurring, also recently a friend she made during chemotherapy has unfortunately passed away.

Details of treatment NLP Session trying to relieve Client of her depression, which is actually a result of her negative thinking pattern<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0She made strong statements about how she shouldn\u2019t feel this way, and that all she wanted was to be happy again and not live in the past so much.\u00a0 We discussed what being happy meant to her, and what she thought would change if that was able to happen right now.\u00a0 She was playing regular movies in her head of how she thought it should be, and how people expected her to be.\u00a0 I asked her to think about how she thought she could make herself happier, her response was that she didn\u2019t know where to start.\u00a0 I suggested that we gave her a more appropriate sized goal that she wouldn\u2019t feel so overwhelmed with.\u00a0 We spoke about the small goal she could strive to achieve which would help her move to a happier state, she decided that her first goal would be to start allowing herself more me time, without the attachment of guild which she normally attached to doing that.\u00a0 Secondly she said she would like to cut down on her working pattern, which ultimately would help her achieve the first goal of having more time for herself.\u00a0 She began to understand that her original want to be happier was such a big goal, and already felt she had lifted the dark cloud from around her.\u00a0 As she had said she had a picture in her mind of how she thought she should be, I suggested that we play a positive movie in her head, of what she thought she would look like if she gave herself more time I asked her to make the image bigger and brighter, I noticed she had a smile on her face,\u00a0 we also discussed her feelings about losing her friend to cancer, and she agreed to take a journey in her mind of the happy times they spent together, she also said they liked watching the film Mama Mia, that they had laughed so much when they went to the cinema because they booked into the sing along,\u00a0 I again suggested if there were times when she felt her mood dipping and receiving sad thoughts about her friend she would put the cd track to Mama Mia on and allow the happy memories to flow.<\/p>\n
We discussed how she normally verbalized things she said and she said most of the time it was in quite a negative way, I offered her advice about stating the outcome in a positive fashion, too look at the wording she was using,\u00a0 we spent a time discussing how she thought she would know how she had achieved her outcome.\u00a0 We pictured her feeling happy and relaxed and doing the things she loved the most, we made the image bigger, I asked her to notice how she was speaking to herself and whoever was around her.\u00a0 We agreed that we would take a walk along an imaginary time line remembering really happy times in her life which made her feel wonderful.\u00a0 She said that there was a massive awakening about the fact that she often only remembered the sad things or the things that had gone wrong, she said that walking along her lime line was a real moment, where she realized she has lots of lovely experiences that she should remember.<\/p>\n
We briefly talked about the fact that other peoples moods can affect us, and vice versa, we spoke about how she could take a step out of her body and stand in the other persons shoes to see if the situation was seen differently, she said that that was a great idea as she often only ever thought of things from her own point of view.<\/p>\n
My assessment of the session:<\/b><\/p>\n
The session ran for about 2hrs, I felt we covered a lot of things, and we worked on some good issues, and I felt I used the NLP tools well, you could see a massive change in Client from when she came in, and she had a good understanding of how to take these flexible tools away with her.\u00a0 I personally enjoyed working with her as it was like she was changing in front of my eyes, she kept saying \u201cI am wonderful, and I feel wonderful\u201d\u00a0 what a lovely feeling to of been able to help someone feel better that they originally\u00a0 did.<\/p>\n
After care advice given:<\/b><\/p>\n
I recommended to Client that when she feels her mood dip she could access the good memories she has of happier times, to watch the internal dialogue, and the words she uses when internally speaking to herself but also how she speaks to the people around her, to remember to keep her words in a positive tense and in this moment, and that her thoughts were just that a thought not a fact.<\/p>\n
Client\u2019s comments about her session:<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
I was unsure about how NLP could help me,<\/a> I had tried lots of self-help books but I always went back to feeling the same, I realized that the fact that the mind is a powerful piece of equipment, and I never really took any notice of the pictures I ran through my mind.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t believe how confident I started to feel, I actually felt like I had grown two inches when I left.\u00a0 I think one of the most amazing tools I walked away with was thinking about stepping into another person\u2019s shoes, so seeing things from another angle.\u00a0 I would like to add that Paula made me feel very relaxed and able to discuss my problems; she didn\u2019t rush me and explained the process very well.\u00a0 I continue to use the tools and would highly recommend NLP to anyone suffering with a negative mind, or struggling with life.<\/p>\n ENROL IN LIFE COACHING<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Time started: 5.30 Time finished: 6.30<\/strong><\/p>\n Details of treatment<\/strong> She seems shy and appears anxious.

She said that is what she has been looking for and\u00a0Is willing to do whatever it takes to move forward. She is tired of the way she has been feeling.<\/p>\n SETTING GOALS<\/strong><\/p>\n I asked her what her goals were and to write them down on a piece of paper.

After a few minutes she said she felt better.<\/p>\n We talked about her routine when she used to write. She stated she used to write after work.

It cleared her mind and put her in a good mood. She decided that it was also something she could do. She stated she was starting to feel excited, hopeful again about writing. She made an appointment for the following week. We decided she would email me daily a few words to let me know of her progress.
