I think At is a bit confused as to what NLP is. It has never claimed to be
anything to do with complexity. It is purely a model of how the mind uses
language and the language patterns and how to use our resources in an
empowering way.

I agree Winfried. My wife got fantastic results from NLP. Changed her life
in the most positive way. I use it daily with myself and children.

Interesting comment, I never thought of it that way.

That is what NLP does it creates that bridge, absolutely, nice point. I
taught my 14 year old daughter who plays netball to design an anchor and
link her physiology with her mental pictures, she almost never misses the
net.
This same anchor can act like an attachment too, which I discussed in
another thread and also cause all sorts of personal pain.
Yes, the human mind is just like a recording machine.
I helped a man with a height phobia to get rid of it in a few minutes, I
helped my daughter to overcome a phobia of pool suction machines (she got
frightened by one as a small child).
And hundreds of people to understand their motivational behaviour.
