A new, life affirming "script"

With my presentation at the annual NLP Conference coming up in a couple of weeks, I have been reflecting on the topic of a process I created called rescripting. The principle is that our identity is an unconscious script or archetypal character.

The idea go back to the Greeks - my own was Damocles, constantly hurrying about as if a sword would fall on me. Some have a Sisyphus script, going after a goal but somehow sabotaging it and letting the ball roll all the way down the hill. Perhaps it is Tantalus, denying yourself what you want, sitting next to a stream but never taking a drink.

What I also notice in clients over the years is these scripts tend to play out in most in one specific part of their lives, an Achilles heel if you will, usually in relationships, health, wealth or happiness. Creating a new life affirming script can have a lasting impact and it has been an honour to share this process over the past 10 years.
