PlanetNLP is a web site dedicated to providing free NLP information specifically for people new to the subject who are looking to take an NLP training, find a practitioner, learn about NLP, or solve a specific issue.

About Chris Harrison

I started my NLP training in 1997. I am qualified as an NLP master practitioner and specialized trainer of NLP. I also have certificates in Design Human Engineering (DHE) and Neuro-hypnotic Repatterning (NHR). There is more information on me and my NLP services here.

My Ethos – the ‘why’ of PlanetNLP

I have been a member of the NLP ‘circle’ for a number of years attending many NLP groups and NLP trainings. During this time several things have bothered me:

  1. To an outsider many NLP groups seem weird. It is easy for someone coming across NLP for the first time to see it as some kind of cult or 'secret handshake' society that will only share its secrets in return for your hard earned cash.
  2. The top trainers create NLP trainers and practitioners, many of whom simply go on to churn out more practitioners - generally watered down versions of themselves - with exactly the same skillset and subset of NLP knowledge, along with the trainers own limitations and prejudices.
  3. Many people take a practitioner course to deal with their own issues, but come away with a certificate and the balls to take on their own clients, creating a culture where the one eyed man leads the blind. The quality of practitioners is mixed to say the least.

It seems that NLP has been turned into a pyramid scheme.

What I feel is missing is the free NLP information for people who are skeptical and want to try things out for themselves before parting with their money.

That is why I am concentrating on the application and teaching of specific NLP techniques to give individuals the tools to run their lives more effectively, along with a better idea of the kinds of skills they would learn on an NLP training.

There is also information that will be useful when making a decision prior to taking a training or searching out a practitioner.

I hope you find this site useful.
