NLP teaches hypnotherapists how to very carefully listen and watch for clients' verbal and non-verbal communications. There is surface communication and deep communication. When clients make surface communication statements, they omit part of their message or meaning. After surface statements, the hypnotherapist asks follow-up questions so the clients can access their own deep communication. Surface Communication Transderivational Search Deep Communication Transderivational searches occur as clients switch from surface to deep communication.
Clients complete their partial messages or meaning by exploring their own deep communication.
Besides initiating transderivational searches and reframes, some other NLP techniques are anchoring, conflict resolution and depotentiating conscious sets. Clients can also schedule appointments for personal NLP training. Sales people who want to earn more money, supervisors who want to become better managers or couples who want to improve their communication can request private NLP lessons. The primary focus of time-line therapy is feelings. Time-line therapy does not concentrate on the specific content of events, but rather the emotions and toxic residue in the body.
