Who's got an interest in NLP or Hypnosis?

NLP is all about communication,

Hypnosis is kinda like conversational skills but more about talking to the unconscious mind.

Hypnosis can subvert the "superego", bypassing moral considerations under the right circumstances.
And there are varying degrees of hypnotic susceptibility.
A dissociative disorder is a type of hypnotic trance state.

Discuss.

Neither qualifies as a science.

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is one of many self-help programs that emerged in the 1970s and '80s but whose popularity has waned somewhat in recent years.  If you shop around, you'll find NLP Practitioner Certification Training for under $100 and only a couple of days of your time.

New Age therapists wrongly think hypnosis is a gateway to occult knowledge about the self and mystical insights about the universe.  Hypnosis is seen as a way to open up the unconscious mind where these alleged truths and insights have taken up residence.  Scientific support for this view is lacking and few psychologists take this approach seriously.

I haven't studied NLP, but I have found knowledge about hypnosis very enlightening and very important in understanding my earlier problems with dissociative disorder.
As they say, "The Truth shall set you free".

Hypnosis is good for having something to say.

NLP is the study of exellence-if someone else can do it, you can learn their strategies and learn to do the skill aswell.

NLP makes people aware of how their sensory income is organised, processed and stored.

You can learn to make a sensory input stronger or weaker, in yourself and others, but im not that good at it yet.
