Sept. 22 Friendship Matters: NLP for Mental Health 

NLP was developed by observing people who were good at doing something and systematically replicating their behaviours to get the same results. It's a toolkit for learning from other people's success. 

Research shows that people who lead long, satisfying lives are likely to a have a close circle of good friends. 

"“The surprising finding is that our relationships and how happy we are in our relationships has a powerful influence on our health,” said Robert Waldinger, director of the study, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “Taking care of your body is important, but tending to your relationships is a form of self-care too. That, I think, is the revelation.” Read more here.

In this 90 minute workshop, we'll use the tools of NLP to identify the importance of friendships in your own well-being and to create space, opportunity and motivation for the friendships that will support your mental and physical well-being.

NLP is a model of human behaviour based on four pillars: 1) it is goal directed - you need to want something to change to use NLP. 2) it is strengths-based - NLP is about identifying your strengths, knowledge and connetions and putting them to work for you; 3) it recognizes that human beings are social creatures who grow through interaction and connection and 4) it uses language to create choice and connection.

Learning NLP gives you better options whether you are planning for new goals or overcoming obstacles. It builds flexibility, reslience and confidence.It's not a therpay or a science. It's a model of how to build wellness and achievement. The practices we teach at NLP Canada Training are aligned with the best current information on how human beings think, react and thrive.
