Richard Bandler’s Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning

One of the first things that stands out to me as I watch Richard Bandler training in Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning is just how similar it is to New Code NLP.

Richard and John worked together or “ran together” (as John phrases it) for about seven years at the start of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

More recently, Richard has branded his work as Design Human Engineering™ and Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning™, while John has channeled his focus into New Code NLP. While both might appear to be superficially different, each is in the pursuit of modeling excellence.

And if you look beyond the surface, they are remarkably similar. Let me give you an example… Continue reading ‘Richard Bandler’s Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning’

Christopher Malone on Hypnosis – 18 August

Christopher Malone will be leading our next session on hypnosis, Tuesday 18 August from 7pm.

Christopher is a skilled – though not professional – hypnotist, and I’m looking forward to another great style of presentation. There’s no charge for this event though places are strictly limited – we have space for about 12 – so please register early.

For this event, we will be in the office of REV, Unit 15B, Ladoll International Hotel, 831 Xinzha Lu at Shimen Er Lu. You can walk there easily from Nanjing West subway station on Line 2.

Christopher will share with us his experiences and insights gained through his exploration of this interesting subject. He has lived and worked in seven countries pursuing a career in international banking. Along the way, Christopher has picked up an economics degree and an MBA from UCLA, and currently teaches economics and accounting at a university here in Shanghai in between tutoring and some corporate training. Christopher is a published novelist, is on the verge of publishing a collection of short stories, and loves cooking and cross-country skiing.

What is New Code?

I’ve had a few people asking me, “What is New Code” and while I’ve given answers in the past, it’s a good time to answer it again.

Dr John Grinder and Dr Richard Bandler developed NLP together through the 1970s. They discovered (and created?) many fantastic skills and opportunities for change, learning and growth.

After Grinder and Bandler started working independently from each other, each explored the field further in their own way. Bandler created Design Human Engineering and more recently Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning. Grinder developed New Code NLP, first with Judith DeLozier in Turtles All the Way Down and more recently with Carmen Bostic St Clair in Whispering in the Wind.

NLP New Code logoNew Code NLP brings together the latest developments from NLP co-creator, Dr John Grinder, and his partner, Carmen Bostic St Clair, and includes powerful yet easy-to-use processes for NLP change work and personal evolution. Even if you are familiar with “NLP” as a field, you will likely want to experience the latest and best through New Code NLP.

Inspiritive quote Grinder and Bostic (2000) to say that New Code is:

A description of NLP which uses a systemic approach to demonstrate and teach the patterns by providing a series of contexts in which they manifest spontaneously. In the New Code of NLP the unconscious of the client is explicitly assigned the responsibility for the selection of the critical elements-the desired state, the resource, or new behaviour. The unconscious is explicitly involved in all steps. There are precise constraints placed upon the selection of new behaviour, more specifically, the new behaviour must satisfy the original positive intention(s) of the behaviour to be changed. The manipulation occurs at the level of state and intention as opposed to that of behaviour.

You can read more about New Code NLP at Inspiritive and at ITANLP.

What is China NLP?

China NLP has always been focused on sharing and exploring NLP experiences. I’ve just updated the “What is NLP” page to reflect this. Here’s a snippet…

Since founded by Mark Julien, China NLP brings together a community of individuals interested in exploring and developing their NLP skills. Our speakers and trainers volunteer their time to share their ideas and insights. We look to cover a wide range of subjects across the NLP domain without attachment to any particular school of thought.

In a session, we might have someone who trained with NLP University (Robert Dilts), another who trained with Tad James, a Richard Bandler-trained Executive Coach, and others who have taken their NLP training with local training companies. We welcome and value everyone.
