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…
Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning: In one exercise, you take a situation that isn’t working for you. A “problem state” if you will. Then you identify the feeling, noticing how the feelings move and change. After a short break, you then create a more resourceful state – a state of mind that feels better and that you believe helps you perform better. A “resource state”. Finally, you take the resourceful state with you while remembering the problem state.
New Code NLP: Take a “problem state”. Associate and connect with that state without trying to change anything: Just notice what happens in the situation. Then create a “content free high performance state” – while there are elaborate rituals within the New Code, this is basically a “resource state”. Finally, you take the “high performance state” into the “problem state”.
Of course, perhaps I am just confused and don’t understand all the subtleties…
