NLP Modern way to treat mental illness
With
number of patients affected with mental disorders rising at an alarming rate, focus
on giving equal attention to mental health
along with physical well-being for all-round excellence. The secret lies in communicating
specifically with brain verbally as well as physically through the latest psychological
technique known as ‘Neuro-linguistic programming’ (NLP), claims a
practitioner Ashok Gupta, who has been using the technique for past several years.
Sharing
details with TOI, Gupta said NLP was developed by United States army veteran John
Grinder, and Richard Bandier and offers easy and practical approach
towards curing mental disorders. The two founded system after studying successful
methodologies of world’s top therapist, anthropologist, and executive. The subject implies that by changing
our linguistic pattern while communicating with brain we can re-program the
neurological processes to improve behavioural and cognitive capabilities favourably.
He said NLP stood for the usefulness
rather truthfulness of the subjective thought. The content is not important, what mostly affects us is how we organise
thought inside mind. For eliminating fear, phobia, depression and negative
thought, you need not to access those painful experiences repeatedly, what
traditional psychologists habitually do, instead change internal representation,
and your brain will automatically
take care of the rest!
Citing
an example, Gupta aid two persons Ramesh and Satish undergo a traumatic incident. Ramesh becomes
phobic, but Satish transforms into a self-asserted personality. Many pilots
leave flying after facing horrific plane accident, while others choose to fly
again with more confidence. Why different influences over different people when
our brain is biologically same? The answer lies in our method of perceiving and
shaping the incidents. Emotionally balanced and happy people turn unpleasant experiences
into the distant, unclear and small black-and-white image while making good ones
big and coloured. Surprisingly, unhappy and depressed do just opposite!
Gupta said he learned “NLP,”
“Dianetics" (both modern psychologies), and “Communication,” “NLP Creative
Writing” while working as a quality control supervisor in a commercial aircraft
spare parts manufacturing multinational firm during residency in USA.
He
added that with various
operative systems, NLP addresses psychosomatic illnesses, addiction, and learning
disorders. International government and non-government academic, therapeutic,
and sport facilities are widely using this new science of personal change. Olympic
gold winner Mike O’Brien got training implying it and NLP has untapped
potential for treating potential problems. It has become all purpose self-training
program & technology, he said.
