  • How does Richard Bandler approach working with clients who have been given up on by others?

    -Richard Bandler approaches such clients by not viewing their conditions as pathologies but instead trying to understand how their minds work. He believes that if one mind can achieve something, another can learn to do the same. He applies this understanding to teach skills and strategies that lead to success.

  • What are Richard Bandler's rules of thumb when working with clients?

    -Bandler's rules of thumb involve not looking at clients' issues as pathologies but as systems that work in certain ways. He emphasizes understanding and learning from clients' strategies, whether they are successful or symptomatic, and adapting these strategies to produce better outcomes.

  • How does Richard Bandler describe the process of teaching people with learning disabilities to spell?

    -Bandler describes the process as teaching these individuals to make mental pictures of words and encode them in a way that allows them to recall the words. By doing so, they are no longer relying on phonetics, which is not effective for English, and can improve their spelling abilities.

  • What is the role of hypnosis in Richard Bandler's work with clients?

    -Hypnosis in Bandler's work is a sophisticated form of concentration that aligns conscious and unconscious programming. It helps stabilize brain wave patterns and enables clients to reach deeper states of relaxation, which can be beneficial for controlling physiological responses and changing mental states.

  • How does Richard Bandler address stress and anxiety?

    -Bandler addresses stress and anxiety by suggesting that one should change the way they think about potentially stressful situations. This involves reducing the size and intensity of negative mental images associated with these situations, thereby altering the emotional response and reducing stress.

  • How does Richard Bandler propose to help people with conditions like fibromyalgia?

    -Bandler suggests that conditions like fibromyalgia, characterized by excessive neuronal firing, can be managed through techniques like hypnosis. This involves learning to control one's neurology, relaxation, and blood pressure, among other physiological responses, to alleviate symptoms.

  • What is the concept of 'terrorizing' in the context of NLP?

    -In the context of NLP, 'terrorizing' refers to the process of expanding an individual's mental map to include new territories or concepts that were previously unrepresented. This helps individuals to build new understandings and strategies, allowing them to adapt and improve in various aspects of their lives.
