You want it to be positive “What is someone creating in their reality based on their unconscious communication?” - Dena It's important to take NLP and combine it with non-ordinary states because they are more powerful together than the sum of them separately The ‘aha’ moment happens because we have neural networks in every single cell in our body Resistance is always a sign of a breakthrough Virginia Satir  is known for translating people’s representational systems In the Hierarchy of Ideas, Virginia was all about ‘chunking down’ When someone says “I'm upset” then you ask “how specifically?” On the opposing side, Milton Erickson focuses on abstraction, chunking higher to get to trance Dena uses the Milton model of hypnosis to bring people into trance states NLP Training Dena offers NLP training that focuses on how we use communication tools to help people in non-ordinary states of consciousness It's so important to understand the 93% of communication that is happening at an unconscious level Timeline therapy is a process that utilizes the unconscious mind to get rid of negative emotions such as anger, sadness and guilt Every part of her training concludes with NLP coaching The Milton model and hypnosis is really beneficial when focusing on its delivery specifically Hypnosis is important because its using everyday words but with intention and volition to put people into a trance state We reduce resistance in communication when we move up in abstraction Links Website About Dena Justice As a master manifester, Dena has created a beautiful life for herself.
