Description

This is a unique recording of Brooks teaching trainee health professionals at a London Hospital. This set of 14 recordings are the complete recordings of a four day training course. Brooks was often frustrated by the mechanical way that NLP was taught on training courses in the 1980’s and he spent a lot of time in trying to promote the teaching of NLP in a caring way. His way of doing this was to put it back into the context of Ericksonian Hypnosis and call it NLP With A Heart.Side Note: Stephen Brooks is the original teacher of Igor LedochowskiContents include:•
