In this episode Laurea talks with Lisa about her recent work in neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP, and how she has been exploring it over the course of several months of training.
They discuss the basic idea behind NLP as a way of understanding how humans take in information, store it unconsciously, and develop patterns that can affect reactions and habits. We talk about the unconscious mind as something that tries to keep us safe, even when its responses are not always helpful.
They also focus on how patterns can show up in daily life, such as strong reactions to familiar triggers, anxiety around meetings, or the “Sunday scaries.” Lisa explains that the work often involves noticing a feeling, identifying the state we want instead, and helping the nervous system shift out of the unwanted response.
They cover how this process does not always require knowing the exact origin of a pattern. Lisa explains that, depending on the method, the work can begin with the current feeling and let the unconscious mind guide the process, whether the material comes from early life, the womb, or another point on a personal timeline.
Laurea and Lisa end by discussing the importance of support, safety, and working with trained help rather than doing deep inner work alone. They emphasize that healing is not linear, that change happens at the speed of safety, and that people do not have to do this work by themselves.
