Practice, practice, practice

On the the major benefits of running a very busy private practice is that I get to see literally hundreds of clients each year and I use PT in all my sessions. Quite often I may see six clients back to back, so thats six straight hours of working without a break! The PT tool kit and the Provocative Change Works tool kit allows me to work in a far more accelerated manner than when simply using other stand alone approaches.

In Feb 2009 I am running an AFPT approved PT Practice day in Leeds for those people interested in developing the PT skills. I set up the AFPT after seeing so many ludicrous claims by mostly NLPers claiming to "have studied Frank Farrelly's work" when they simply attended a singe weekend event! Details on this and other worldwide Provocative workshops can be found at www.nickemptraining.com and www.associationforprovocativetherapy.com

Misconceptions about Provocative Therapy

I groaned today when I read somebody thinking that a comedy sketch on YouTube was in fact "Provocative Therapy!" It seems that for some reason that many NLPers just don't get PT and "try to catagorise" it in the most ludicrous ways which usually involve thinking that it is either any kind of comedy or any kind of confrontation!

Online on one NLP ng suddenly a number of folks are regularly spouting the word "provocative" with great gusto in every third post not realising what Provocative Therapy really is and certainly not reading the original book or understanding Provocative Therapy is a multi layered sophisticated approach to change which requires the therapist to really pay attention to the client and have a flexibility to move beyond simply rolling out a series of techniques...
