Hypnosis and NLP

Using 'embedded commands' - is it hypnosis, NLP, subliminal suggestion? I'm not sure, all I know is that it worked for me!

Some years back I asked a hypnotist/NLP trainer friend of mine to help me with dieting. We didn't meet up for ages, until we chanced into each other at a leadership training session.

We had a conversation about a mutual friend - we discovered that we had probably actually met before some twenty years ago in a completely different environment! After the conversation finished (I was packing up the gear from the session) I had a sort of 'eh?' moment.

Then I realised that I didn't want to eat chocolate! I looked at the biscuit tin, looked at the choccy bars, and had no urge to eat them whatsoever! So, whatever my friend had said in that conversation he had managed to help me without my even knowing.

'Embedded commands'? I don't know! It lasted about a month, which was all I needed to kick start that change in eating habits (don't call it a diet - that's a sure fire way of setting yourself up to fail).

Whatever it is/was - it worked for me. And, as I may have mentioned before, I'm not the best hypnosis subject.
