The "old NLP" is bad, but the only difference between the "new" and the "old" is that the "new" is more flexible than the "old" one. WTF!?!?!?! Who says how flexible the old is, so that the new one is MORE flexible? NLP WORKBOOK [Joseph O'Conner] page 244 "Here are the steps that you need to go through to apply any NLP pattern. However, you are more flexible than any pattern, so these are guidelines, not directives. ..." "When people around them contradict their beliefs about NLP, they get upset and protective." If you are always attacking the NLP people, as you do in this article, it's normal that they are protective. "Another mistake in the construction of NLP is the “step by step” fashion of teaching a concept." I am a computer science student and for me NLP is just another programming language. It gives you tools to do whatever you want and is possible with these tools. You have the freedom to implement you own programs (if you can) or use the already existing. Not everybody is able to implement a web browser, but everyone is able to use one. I am new to NLP and I think NLP is about development. It's developing constantly so I don't get how can you distinguish between new and old. I think you are just confusing/manipulating the newbies the make them sign to your NLP course.

“When people around them contradict their beliefs about NLP, they get upset and protective.”

If you are always attacking the NLP people, as you do in this article, it’s normal that they are protective.

Honest straight forward questions and answers. If Truth can't stand on it's own merit when tried or questioned then it is not Truth. I'm not new to Hypnosis but new to NLP. A sincere desire to help others should include a open mind to pursue all knowledge and methods that can achieve that goal. If the blind lead the blind will they not both fall into the same ditch. I commend you for not seeking blind followers but open minded and open eyed students that can stand on their own. This article is exactly why I keep coming back.
