In NLP, the most important aspect of it is the ability to find out what really works. I mean, the crux of the whole subject is not about the values set, the beliefs or anything of that sort. If it works, it works. This also basically means that it has to work for you. You can’t let it work ultimately, your solution ends up creating havoc for you. That’s also known as ‘ecology’.

Take for instance this child I recently met. One of the things about this child was he was ‘attention deficit’. He was walking around all the time. But the problem was meshed with the fact he had a serious allergy problem, and if he was walking around, he would actually end up being less affected by the itching. Moreover, I could only imagine that this guy would be mothered to death by his parents, especially due to this condition. Strangely, it wasn’t difficult to get this kid into action. All he really needed to do was to stop thinking about the itch. I mean if you had a severe itch, it’s really a series of neural impulses that head up and down your nerves to your brain. It creates a meaning. So, I did something interesting. Everytime he got an itch, I associated it with the desire to get things done in his life. Which isn’t all that strange because most of us figuratively use the term “hands are itchy”, “seven year itch”…
