NLP-related Technologies - Time Line techniques
(Neuro Linguistic Programming)
Time Line techniques began emerging in the early 1980's as the science of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) was applied to create behavioral change. NLP Practitioners continue to explore and expand Time Line techniques into a variety of practices. To my knowledge, the first formalized approach was Time Line Therapy™, developed in 1987 by Dr. Tad James. Since that time, numerous practitioners have expanded and adapted the techniques to suit their client needs.
The Theory of Time Line Techniques
The temporal or time-related nature of our experiences offers a unique opportunity to shift how we've stored the processes, decisions and emotions related to our Internal Representation. Using language, visualization and temporal play on the time line, we can assist clients (or ourselves) to effectively delete unresourceful states and re-evaluate limiting decisions, which enables the neurology to organize itself into a more resourceful system.
Time Empowerment™ Techniques
Time Empowerment™ techniques emerge from and integrate the classic NLP, early Time Line techniques and Hawaiian Huna esoteric teachings. This process releases negative emotions and limiting decisions or beliefs, as well as a variety of other temporal-based problems. We effectively erase the neurological connections to those old emotions and decisions while at the same time put the client in touch with resources that were previously masked by the unresourceful states.
The Process of Time Empowerment™
I discuss the role of the Unconscious Mind and how it stores information temporally (conscious mind stuff). Then I teach my client how to access their time line, how to travel it, and how to identify the source of the emotion or decision. Through temporal play, we disconnect the unwanted decision or emotion. The client experiences immediate relief and resourcefulness. Reframing is important for some clients as they may need to resolve conscious/unconscious conflict in order to release the emotions or decision completely.
I use Time Line techniques with virtually all of my clients, unless it's a simple Stop Smoking sort of thing. Most people are walking around with a lifetime of stored negative emotions and limiting decisions that interfere with their success and happiness. This technique is hands down the fastest and easiest way for anyone to release those things and free themselves from the past.
Using Time Line techniques with Hypnosis and NLP
I've found the most effective use of Time Line techniques to be in a combined approach using hypnosis and other NLP interventions. When prompted, some clients choose to describe their experience on the Time Line, which gives us valuable information about their Internal Representation, sub-modality drivers, language and symbolic markers. Using this data we can recognize interrelated issues, discover drivers, and thus improve suggestions given in subsequent hypnotherapy and NLP interventions.
