• Guilt vs. Shame, and a Free NLP Technique for Telling Them Apart

  31-08-2026 14:51 via Simply Global NLP
  
  Guilt and shame feel like the same bad mood. They are not, and NLP has a specific technique for telling them apart. Guilt says you did something. Shame says you are something. That difference sounds small until you notice that one of them points you toward a fix and the other one just makes you smaller. NLP has a technique built specifically for this, and it starts with a question most people never think to ask themselves in the moment: whose point of view am I actually standing in right now? A

• How to Establish Credibility as a Coach

  25-08-2026 18:49 via Simply Global NLP
  
  What actually makes a coach look credible to a stranger who's never met them, and where does ICF fit in that? Referrals are the strongest signal, someone who already trusts you vouching for you directly. Live demonstration, watching you actually work, comes close, but stays subjective. ICF certification and real accreditation in a methodology are different: binary, you either hold them or you don’t. Social media is the most subjective signal of all, and a free coaching session proves less

• How to Deal With Arrival Fallacy

  20-08-2026 11:29 via Simply Global NLP
  
  How to Deal With Arrival Fallacy When the Goal Doesn't Feel Like You Thought You deal with arrival fallacy by training your brain to feel arrival before you actually get there, not by waiting for the feeling to show up once you do. The flatness you’re noticing isn’t a sign the goal was wrong. It’s your brain ticking a box and immediately scanning for whatever’s missing next. The fix is a technique called future pacing: rehearsing what you’ll see, hear, and feel at t

• How to Do NLP on Yourself: What Works Alone

  11-08-2026 19:34 via Simply Global NLP
  
  How to Do NLP on Yourself: What Actually Holds Up Alone How to do NLP on yourself starts with knowing which core techniques were built to work solo, and which ones weren’t. Anchoring, timeline work, written reframes, perceptual position work, well-formed outcomes, and submodality techniques like the swish pattern all hold up without a coach in the room. Using the meta model on your own strategies, and deeper parts work, are the real exceptions, since both ask you to hold an objectivity abo

• Why You Keep Making the Same Decision

  11-08-2026 17:02 via Simply Global NLP
  
  Why You Keep Making the Same Decision Repeatedly going back and forth on the same decision usually signals a parts conflict: two internal parts with opposing but equally valid values sending the brain contradictory signals. The brain cannot act on mixed signals, so it stalls. Thinking harder and making pros and cons lists does not resolve this because the conflict is neurological, not logical. The solution is identifying the positive intent motivating each side. When you understand what each par

• Why Siblings Remember Childhood So Differently

  10-08-2026 19:43 via Simply Global NLP
  
  Why Two Siblings Can Remember the Same Childhood So Differently Siblings often remember the same childhood in completely different ways, and that’s not a flaw in anyone’s memory. Every time you genuinely recall something, not just describe it, the memory goes soft and editable for a few hours. Whether it actually changes depends on what happens while it’s open, which is why two siblings can sit in the same place on the same day and each walk away with a different memory of it.

• Fear of Changing Careers: The Brain-Based Fix

  22-06-2026 14:22 via Simply Global NLP
  
  The fear of changing careers is not about the new career. It is about the brain protecting an identity that has kept you safe. The fear of changing careers is a neurological response, not a character flaw. When you have spent years being a successful, competent version of yourself, that identity is encoded in the brain as prediction and safety. The moment you consider becoming something different, the brain reads identity threat and activates a stress response. This is why logic does not work on

  The Planning Mistake Most Coaches Were Never Taught Most coach training teaches outcome-focused planning, but the brain requires more than a clear destination to initiate action. When clients fail to follow through on well-constructed plans, the missing piece is almost always next-step specificity: a precise, immediately actionable signal the brain can actually execute on. Without it, even motivated clients stall. NLP addresses this through future pacing and step-specific association, two techni
