How to Find a Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner
Neuro linguistic programming is based on the technique of modeling, that is, re-forming the way we process sensory stimuli and the words we use to describe them in ways that imitate successful people, known as "masters." The aim of NLP programming is to replace old mental "maps"--ways of thinking and reacting--with new ways of focusing attention, creating a wider perspective and better criteria for setting goals. It is used to treat sleep disorders, phobias, depression and addiction, to improve business and social skills and to increase well-being in general. NLP practitioners operate in all 50 states.

Computer with Internet access and email

Find a Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner
1
Search for an NLP practitioner using the NLP Practitioners Director Web site (see Resources below).
2
Narrow your search using search criteria like location, organization, practitioner's name and/or areas of interest.
3
Get in touch with a practitioner in your area. You may feel more comfortable emailing this person, although calling directly may give you a better sense of his or her demeanor.
4
Ask questions. What does the practitioner offer? What is the total cost of each session and how many sessions should you anticipate having? Be sure to get an inclusive price quote up front.
5
Enjoy the process. NLP is meant to expand one's horizons and change old patterns of thinking.
Tips & Warnings
You will need to decide what type of NLP training sessions you would like--groups, couples or individual--and whether you prefer to learn in person or over the phone.
Neuro linguistic programming can be expensive. Weigh pros and cons carefully to be sure that NLP is right for you.
Those experiencing symptoms of severe depression (suicidal thoughts or extreme withdrawal from social activities) need to be treated by a qualified medical doctor immediately.
Make sure you choose a certified NLP trainer. There are "practitioners" who use the term neuro linguistic programming without a full knowledge of how NLP works.
Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
