NLP Techniques to Break Bad Habits

When we try to break a bad habit, the brain's automaticity works against us. We're often unaware of the emotional triggers and deeply held beliefs that drive these habits, making change seem impossible. This book provides a solution to that struggle by revealing powerful techniques for addressing the root causes of your behaviors, rather than just the actions themselves. Based on over 25 years of experience at the Erickson Institute, these methods have been refined through extensive work with clients who have successfully overcome their most difficult habits.

But be warned: this is not for beginners. If you are new to NLP, it is best to begin with our other book, "NLP Simply Explained", as this book delves into advanced techniques that necessitate a basic understanding of how the mind operates. Here, you'll find strategies that go beyond traditional behavior modification. These are the techniques that professionals have been using in practice, but they have rarely been discussed outside of private settings.

The methods in this book, many of which have never been published before, focus on the emotional and psychological layers that lie beneath habitual behavior. They are intended to reprogram the mind and replace old, automatic responses with healthier, conscious alternatives. The approach is practical, action-oriented, and based on real-world success stories that demonstrate how these techniques have permanently and sustainably transformed people's lives.

You'll learn how to identify the emotional triggers that activate your habits, reframe the beliefs that keep them in place, and replace unhealthy responses with values-based behaviors. This is not a quick fix; it is a long-term change. If you're ready to break free from the habits that have kept you stuck for so long, this book will help you do so.
