So in other words there's what Wikipedia and the field of psychology say about it but, you like your version better.

I think the only reason this is annoying me is not that you're calling out idiots for doing idiotic things but you seem to be applying this as the canonical definition of what it is. Not even IMHO, quite literally that's both misleading and inaccurate.

I have had personal experience with NLP people. They are really weird, too.

NLP? Isn't that a pseudoscience?

sort of. eventually, it's the idea that through rhetoric, you can make people believe things. only weaponized by new agers and self-help-addicts.

I just looked this up and found it interesting:
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320368.php

It sounds like the claims were a bit more specific than I thought, as I assumed it was just focus on a particular subset of cognitive behavioral therapy getting blown out of reason.

From the sound of things reviews have been mixed, in that mix its considered unsubstantiated by scientific scrutiny, and to the extent to which it may work is helping people orient themselves to what are more strictly psychological rather than neurological or chemical/endocrine-based problems like depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

NLP causes its victims to ignore unpleasant realities at their peril.

Lol, I never should have joined this thread. Its too much like the one on coincidences but in ways less obvious to most people.

When did bizzaroland manifest itself in this forum? :mrgreen:
Damn, I need a lot of catching up...

Using the above, how is this different from hypnotic suggestion?
