Who Am I When It All Falls Apart? With Garth Delikan

Wow.

It was like that.

And I've had that happen

so many times.

And explain the NLP.

So I'm going to assume when you're working with NLP, you're trying to rewire someone's mind, whether it's to change their set of beliefs, maybe of how they perceive themselves or what do you do with NLP and how does it work?

Well, if you basically think, imagine you've had a traumatic event, okay? So if you imagine the traumatic event is the end of your garden.

So every day you walk across the lawn to that traumatic event.

As you keep walking on that grass, you were a path in the grass.

You were a furrow in it.

So what you do, you don't go that direction anymore.

You change direction and you look at that problem from a different angle and then you reframe it.

You know, for some people, a fire might be nice and warm and, ooh, yeah, they're standing in front of it.

For somebody who's been burned by that fire, that's going to be traumatic.

They're going to run away from a fire.

So you've got to re-couch it in their mind.

And you don't change the memory.

You just change the association of the memory so it's not traumatic anymore.

And instead of having it in the trauma drawer, you put it in the, well, that happened and I've dealt with it drawer.

Right.

Because, you know, your life today has been created by your perceptual filters, your values, your honor system, the way your parents brought you up.

You know, and I would say to a lot of my clients, would you accept that your life today was created by the thoughts you had yesterday, the day before, last week, last month, the month before that? Would you accept that? Go, yeah, of course.

I said, okay.

So imagine this for just one second.

If you were to change your thought process from this second now and you had a different thought tomorrow, the day after that, the week after that, how much would your life change exponentially? They go, ooh, never thought of that before.
