Comments on: Can NLP learn from CBT? http://www.chrismorris.com/blog/2009/08/can-nlp-learn-from-cbt/ The happy daze of Chris Morris Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:33:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Stephen Woolston http://www.chrismorris.com/blog/2009/08/can-nlp-learn-from-cbt/#comment-1005 Stephen Woolston Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:57:43 +0000 http://www.chrismorris.com/blog/?p=189#comment-1005 Hi Chris, I did read this first time round too. Great blog post, as always. For me, in all matters and variations of "what 'the world' thinks of NLP", the thing is we don't control 'the world' and we don't control that meme that is NLP. I tend to think the best we can do is good work, and let go of excess concern on the world view of NLP. I do believe that good work, of whatever persuasion, will find its reward. Indeed, I think you are a living example of that. Cheers Hi Chris,

Notice that they started at the same point in 2004 and have gone in different directions. http://bit.ly/a04bh9 Using Google Trends, we can easily see the rise of interest in CBT compared to the decline in NLP.

For the first hundred years of Chiropractic those doing it espoused it's wonders while doctors and government largely ignored it or pointed to the lack of research and occasionally suggesting it as quakery. In the UK Chiropractic volunteered to regulate and register through legislation and, while there are some down sides to the mass of regulation, overall Chiropractic has generally become viewed in a much better light. NLP may have to go at least some way down a similar route if it is to gain public and professional credence. I'd also add, however, that if NLP chooses the registration route that a lot of trainers and practitioners might get upset on the way.
