Hello, my name is Dave Marshall and amongst other things, I am a Master Trainer of NLP. I started studying NLP about 20 years ago when I was working for a large international computer company, where I was a personal development trainer. Doing this job meant that I had studied several aspects of personal psychology and personality assessments. During this time, we had a Canadian psychologist working with us and we used to swap ideas over lunch. One day, she told me about NLP and and I thought, what weird stuff, just another load of psychobabble! Well, I had no idea how wrong I was going to be. A couple of months later, another friend of mine had a book about NLP called "Using your brain for a change", by Richard Bandler. I borrowed the book and started reading it while I was on holiday. It seemed to be getting more interesting and when I got to the bit about curing phobias in five minutes my attention was grabbed! I had a very bad water phobia, so I thought I'd do what it said. All I had to do was think about it in a slightly different way. It will happen in my head, no one could see me do it, I didn't have to chant affirmations for three months or run around the market square, naked at midnight 10 times! And it was even free! So I did it. It took about three minutes, and I didn't feel any different - so I thought nothing had happened.

Three weeks later, I went swimming and to my amazement, I just went straight under water. That was a pretty good confirmation that the process had worked. And it started me off on the long trail of learning NLP.

 

I have now retired and live up  a mountain in southern Spain - wonderful!!
