This movie includes a segment on NLP with Arielle Essex, an NLP Master Practitioner, and what she did after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. The NLP principles involved are pretty old and basic, but I think they are nicely presented, and should generate some interest in NLP. [I suspect that some of the rest of the film may be pretty flaky, like the movie What the (Bleep) do we Know, but the NLP piece isn’t.] Here is the link for the NLP segment.

Thirty years ago when I was just beginning to learn NLP, I used six-step reframing with a woman with a similar underlying dynamic. She had irregular menstrual bleeding and high blood pressure. She was a single mom with a lot of responsibilities; her symptoms began when she began to seriously consider having another child. The part of her that was causing her symptoms wanted her to enjoy life more, free of the additional responsibility of a baby. After she got this message and fully agreed with it, her blood pressure dropped 50 mm at her next doctor visit, and two weeks later, her periods became normal. This example is written up in detail in Heart of the Mind (link book title to RPP) pp. 74-75.
