Richard Bandler
Review by Helen Platts

Target audience: Practitioners; General interested public

Summary of content: Submodalities as a tool for lasting change. An introduction that invites you to notice how you represent your experience and beliefs with submodalities and how you can generate differences in state in yourself by altering them; followed by the demonstration of several techniques such as the fast phobia cure, changing limiting beliefs and the Swish pattern. All delivered in a conversational tone- this is the recording of a workshop.

Recommended features: UEasy to read, this is a great way to revisit submodality work, the uses of association and disassociation, and in particular the Phobia cure and Swish technique.

Personal impressions: This is a good way to "get back to basics", particularly if you do the exercises that Bandler invites us all to do throughout the book. I had great fun with a limiting belief I used to have…….

For someone who has a somewhat auditory approach to reading, the workshop format worked well for me. Anyone with different preferred rep systems had other experiences with this book?
