Ernest Frost
I am a qualified Master Neurolinguistic Practitioner and Trainer and Eriksonian Hypnotherapist and have a passion for my work, helping people to find and rediscover their inner power.
Memories I have since I was a little boy is of me helping other children in the neigborhood, making them feel better, consoling them after a hiding (those were still the years
of hidings) and even doing 'operations' for aches and pains. After school I started off with a medical career (those years you either become a doctor or an attorney) but then my mother died of cancer. Every possible treatment failed. In a time of grief and shock I left the medical field and started over with education and end up teaching Dutch poetry at University level.
After 5 years giving my heart and soul to the students another shock came in the form of unrest and violence on the campus whcih resulted in my car being set alight. I remember that day looking from my office window almost in a trance, not believing that was happening. It was the gentle voice of my student assistant bringing me back to reality and saving me from the campus.
The next 15 years took me into the world of antiques, a fascinating and beautiful world. Working with beauty and history, it took me on a wonderful journey, exploring every possible aspect of this magical world. From a remote Karoo farms in the South African Karoo to remote castles in Romenia and Hungary. It was also my first contact with real 'spirits' (ghosts) as it took quite a few 'spiritual' friends to help the spirits move on (and out of the shop) again. With broken down delivery trucks on highways and carrying furniture (weighing tons) up hills to houses at the top, I sometimes wished that a helping spirit will come and save me. My wish came true (much to my horror) when strange things begin to happen in the shop. Slamming doors, clocks flying through midair - It was also my first contact with real 'spirits' (ghosts) and it took quite a few 'spiritual' friends to help the spirits move on (and out of the shop) again.
It was on a isolated beach somewhere on the Mosambique coast where I got 'the call'. For some time I was feeling a growing emptiness, a feeling of a cycle which has come to an end. Some time before I did a Mankind project course where an wise looking old man stared at me over a candle and asked: "Who do you serve"? For the first time in my life the usual and easy answer did not seem 'to fit' anymore. I just stared back at him with a dry throat. On that day on the beach, the wind blew a magazine over the sand and I caught it. It fell open on a article about NLP and was like I saw a door opened. And so my next journey began, a world so much more gripping than I have ever known before.
Come and join me on this journey during a very significant time on Mother earth. Let us all discover and remember who we really are!
What is NLP and what can it do for me?
NLP has been defined in many different ways and a Google search will bring up thousands of entries. I'd like to share with everyone my definition of NLP. You see... at some time in your life, you probably bought a car or some piece of equipment that was complex enough that the manufacturer gave you a manual to help you understand how to operate it. Some of us read the manual, some don't.
Well, now, here you are, today in this lifetime. Having been born into this beautiful body with your amazing brain and nervous system, and no one handed you a manual of how it actually works!
To me, NLP is the manual (the understanding) of how you work.
At its heart, NLP is only a process of modeling. NLP will look at any problem with the question: How do you do it? (The depression, the anxiety, the feeling of being stuck, etc.) Once you can understand the structure of the problem (how it is made up and what it is made of) you can begin changing the structure and the old problem wil begin to change, and disappear. There are NLP Models of Therapy, Sales, Target Shooting... whatever. NLP itself is simply a process of modeling you - uncovering how you do what you do. And you can be the Best of who you really are.
Steve Andreas writes this amazing definition: "First there was psychoanalysis, analyzing the mind. Then there was psychotherapy, in which one person treats or "therapizes" another. NLP can also be used in this way, but primarily NLP is about psychoeducation, teaching someone how to use their mind, so that people can use it with themselves, as more of a personal practice, rather than a therapy."

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy in combination NLP can be a excellent approach for changing unwanted behaviors and states. Because all unwanted behaviors is coming from the unconscious mind it is necessary to work in the domain of the unconscious. During a trance state the unconscious mind is open to suggestions which the conscious mind can just reject during normal waking states of consciousness. If for instance a client holds a believe of being unworthy of love, it can be positively suggested during a trance state and the conscious mind can accept it, while during waking state it might easily just be reflected back to the therapist.
