Misuse and misunderstanding of the term "Provocative"
I noticed today that with a certain amount of unfortunate predictability we now have a trend of people trying to cash in on the term "Provocative". It seems we are truly in the era of hype where everyone is described as "a genius" or "master of x or y"
I set up The Association for Provocative Therapy with the encouragement of Frank Farrelly creator of the field of Provocative Therapy to ensure that PT doesn't go the same way as some other talk therapies into a world of craziness and hype!
If you are considering attending any course or event check the trainer credentials and that the person in question is not trying to simply hijack this particular term for their own personal commercial gain and rather has a genuine set of skills which they can communicate usefully to others with the humour and warm hearted spirit demonstrated by Frank Farrelly himself

Feedback from the NY event
My name is John Johnson, and I attended the PCW workshop in NYC (aka New Yawk Ciddy) in May, 2009. I have some comments about it…Ok, here I go….I was amazing.
For those of you who are intrigued by the Icon Cards Nick developed..Wow...Get 'Em! Those cards reminded me that human are fast learners. Symbols have been used my humans to teach and to communicate for gazillions of years in all cultures. I was blown away by the “speed” of how I, and I am sure others, quickly absorbed the PCW strategies just by using the Icon Cards - as opposed to the rote listing of possibilities what one can do.
It's like all the details were summed in/as one essence, leaving room for more things to do and to feel pleasure as we learn. Hmmm, pleasure while you learn! What a concept!
It also dawned that Nick Kemp is the only one cataloguing Frank Farrelly’s work, and he is and will be the premier source for future generations….Wow!
Nowadays there are far too many theoreticians teaching workshops; that’s good; but it has its drawbacks. Theoreticians teach theory.
Period. Nick is teaching from direct experience (sure as well as theory).The difference is that Nick can concretely say, tell you and show you – what works and has works consistently. He, as I like to say – has real-world battle scars. He’s a hardened soldier (a Jedi
Knight) who can teach recruits from “direct experience.” There needs to be more people like him.
Oh, what a killer sense of humor.
Be Well

Reflections
I just finished a weekend in Leeds co presenting a weekend on Therapeutic Excellence with Andrew T Austin. I included a section on Provocative Therapy and this was filmed in high definition for a 2009 DVD release. Many of the delegates were amazed at the power and speed of using this approach and just how different it is to traditional NLP and Hypnosis.
Next month I am delighted to be training with Frank Farrelly himself and will be using the new training approach for PT that has already been showcased on the previous PT practice day
