Using the MythoSelf process is conversational AND jargon free. This does not seem to be the case with NLP, though I get that’s a big generalisation.
Because I work from the positive bias, I’m asking people about what works. And I’m interested in if they’ve done any personal development type stuff.
What I notice about NLP’ers is how quite often they’re doing a bad impersonation of Paul McKenna or Richard Bandler. Seldom is it conversational, and in a business context I’ve met quite a few people who’ve been annoyed by being asked to do ‘technique’ they’ve described as inane or stupid, or been told metaphorical stories that have just repulsed. I’ve met this so much that I’m likely never to mention that I’m a qualified NLP Trainer. Which I feel is a shame, as I think NLP is an extraordinarily valuable skill-set.
I think both Paul and Richard are exquisite performers. I helped out at Paul’s stage shows years ago, what most impressed me and what lifted it above his competitors was the quality of his performance, even though the show was formulaic, I would have paid to go purely for the quality of his entertaining presentation.
Because working with the Mythoself is so conversational AND you’re being transparent, the client doesn’t feel like you’re doing something to them, ‘cos you’re not, you’re leading from one step behind. There’s a difference between adumbration and assumption. Assumption is a hallucination about the future (can dogs hallucinate? I know they can think and dream) adumbration is based on data in the system, the system being the intersubjective experience. It becomes predictive because you’re in the somatic experience before thought arises, and what is said is formulated out of the somatic expression. Dog owners know this best of all when the dogs ‘talk’ to you without barking
