Limiting beliefs can make our world a smaller place. They are a kind of internal prison that we carry round with us, a self-imposed yoke, a limitation.
Changing such limiting beliefs is at the heart of modern NLP, and nobody has done more to put it there than Robert Dilts at NLPU. He has created a number of processes designed to challenge and change beliefs.
Perhaps the most powerful of these is Reimprinting. Rather than just challenge beliefs intellectually, as Gladwell did with ‘David was the underdog’, he wants to do so experientially, taking people back to the time when beliefs were formed.
To do this (as a coach, you can do this with a client, but for this piece I am assuming you are working on yourself):
Pause to reimagine how things would have been, and let the scenario run till you have a story with which you are happy.
Then walk slowly up the timeline, pausing at those times where the unhelpful belief had a strong effect, but now bringing the ‘new you’ to bear on the situation. How does it feel now? When you return to the present, look forward and welcome the future.
Like many such processes, this looks simple on paper but can take a long while and require skill and (if you do it with others) empathy.
I feel very strongly that it is best learnt on a proper training course, where you can watch other people do it, try it yourself, get stuck and make mistakes in the company of a skilled resource team who can put you back on track, and generally learn by doing. I know, I would say this, wouldn’t I? And I would also add that reimprinting is one of the techniques covered on our Master Practitioner course, wouldn’t I? But I really do feel that is a wonderful place to learn this powerful stuff really thoroughly. Come and find out for yourself.
