Anyone Visited NLP Practitioner/Hypnotherapist?

re Pure NLP
About 5% of practioners could actually relate to the individual trader's issues enough to be effective.
About 5% of traders would be helped by this approach. And of those that would be helped,
About 5% of their issues could be addressed by NLP
In my book that makes it worth a try - seriously.

re Hypnotherapy
Same statement as opinion on NLP - only the 5% goes to 7% ie both are worth a try

re NLP Practitioner/ Hypnotherapist
Be careful about merging those two disiplines ie look for one or the other...
NLP is better for creative, positive change - starting new bhvrs
Hypno is better for remedial change - stopping old bhvrs.
Bottom line with therapists - the 'school' or 'method' doesn't matter - find one who actually sincerely cares about you...

no wide brush here!
this was thrown on out of the bucket!

j40 - Van tharp, who is the master on the psychology of trading imo, is a NLP practioner and modeler. There is quite a lot of stuff in his books on this, although it not directly referenced as nlp if im remembering correctly. The home study course goes into much more depth ( so im told, I haven't personally studied it).

There is also a guy called charles faulkner who specialises in nlp for traders (See the book new market wizards).

Ed seykota has written about hypnosis. do a search on google, you'll fidn tons of stuff on it.

where are you getting those stats from ZDO??

so to answer your question No i havent personally visited anyone, but have tried nlp techniques specifically for improving trading.

I have looked at this. Indeed I waded through a 2 inch thick book on the subject, which I found very dry.

However, I think that aspects of NLP may be used in trading. My main memories of my reading is the emphasis on how you react to the world with your senses and how you have preferred senses for interpreting the world.

For example you might evaluate a project as:

Visual: Yep, looks good to me. Auditory: I been hearing good things about it. Kinesthetic: I feel good about the whole project. Olfactory: Smells like a winner to me. Gustatory: I can taste the victory.
This is taken from the site http://www.nlpinfo.com/ There is a lot of information about NLP on the net.

Personally however it seems to me (does the use of seem suggest visual is my preferred sense I wonder as I write this) - it seems to me that its value is limited in trading, because 2 of the senses visual first and auditory might prevail.

I would certainly be interested in hearing other peoples' evaluation of it. Is there much more to it than my summary above. If so, how can it help trading ?

Tony theBramble is the one to ask about this but he seems to have disappeared. ???

Jonnyy40, following from another forum:

" I went to a hypnotherapist/NLP/EFT etc practitioner for severe Social Anxiety Disorder. In 90 mintues he had totally sorted me out, and I'm just getting better and better every day! That session cost £130 and I've never looked back. I can't reccommend this guy enough!
He's based in Wood Green, details below: http://anlp.org/pracdetails.asp?PracID=3019
All the best, Beth."

Possibly, once he understood the specific problem/s, he'd have techniques to help overcome them.

jm99, What stats?

They were generalized from the efficacy of 'therapy' as a whole, with generosity toward the two modalities in the topic - to reiterate... was painting by bucket not by brush...

Trdr quoted Beth saying "I went to a hypnotherapist/NLP/EFTetc practitioner " I bet if we were able to track Beth down and ask her she would attribute the bulk of her progress to the EFT !!!!!!!!

Jonnyy40, if you are going to see an NLP specialist, make sure you go in with a very specific, clearly defined list of new "anchors" you need to create for your trading... to prevent 'exploratory swimming' on the surface and give you a better chance of getting your money's worth.

All the best,

zdo

I've visited a Sussex based hypnotherapist specialising in trading (he is also a trader), in the past. IMO it works and it's worth pursuing, cost me £200 or so for a couple of sessions if I remember correctly, it was a tailor-made package aligned with my objectives.

(For trading reasons)Where?How much? How effective?

Marex have just launched a Trading Academy and they have courses and coaching available from NLP trained coaches and trainers who have a lot of experience working with professional traders. They have integrated performance psychology (most commonly used in sport) with NLP and have developed trading specific tools for traders to work with to raise their game. I think they are very good - but I would say that wouldn't I!

Otherwise - I think someone with a recognised NLP coaching certification would definitely be of help - NLP Practitioner level only is probably too inexperienced, go for Master Practitioner, or preferably NLP Coach. Hypnotherapy is somewhat different and I would suggest that your hypnotherapist should have an understanding of trading.

PS - Marex Trading Academy web developers not as good as their coaches - there's a glitch in the contact form. The email works though.

I agree. NLP is a very powerfull tool for traders. However not the entire package. Anchoring and neurological repattering are 2 tools which I especially found usefull. A technique called "Decision Destroyer" helps a trader to get his/her ego out of the way and make more valuable decisions. All in all, I think its worth the money, Like rog111 who spend quite a bit, but I bet he got his money back during the first week after the sessions.

Warm Regards and marry christmas

have never tried nlp nor hypno! but guess if you just do simple stuff in life you will succeed - the motto in trading is KISS
and that works wonders for me.
