What Is Time Line Therapy?

Most people can form a line of time and space they experience, in fact this is the time line. The main spirit of NLP timeline therapy is to adjust the perception of emotions and trauma in the past timeline, and to construct and develop a positive and creative future in the future timeline.

Timeline therapy

Most people can form a line of time and space they experience, in fact this is the time line.
The "timeline" is a stable subconscious mental structure, or a set of psychological procedures that internally records time. Everyone has his own unique way of recording time, for example how do we know which event has happened (past memory) and which event has not happened (future plan)? It must be that our brains have different time divisions of events.
NLP timeline therapy is a "metaphor
Time-line therapy
The formation of the basic timeline concept came from NLP founder Richard Bandler. During a workshop, he visually guided the students' past and future memories, and found that the pictures of past and future memories came from different directions. Some people came from the left and the future came from the right. Others are completely different. After a period of experimental research, the basic prototype of timeline therapy was born.
Human perception of time will affect a person's personality, so when the concept of time changes, people also change. Bandler once mentioned a very interesting case: a man who has scrapped his entire life because of drug use. He has been in and out of jail for more than ten years but is never tired of it.
Bandler led the man's timeline, and the man's past timeline was really "thrown away." As the past events can not be seen, the pain of going to jail is like it has never happened. Naturally, there are no lessons to be learned. Bandler only made a very simple move, turning the time to turn the past in front of him. Suddenly the man finally saw that his past life was ruined by drugs, so he burst into tears, and completely quit the drug addiction.
Some people are always hesitant and unable to make decisions, so they often fall into anxiety. When actually guiding the timeline, you usually find that the other party is usually in a dark or fragile state in the future timeline. If a person, no matter how he chooses, is the result of frustration in the dark, how can a decision be made? Usually, for such a person, only a slight adjustment of his timeline structure is needed, and the other party will immediately change.
Timeline therapy is not just a solution to past problems, it is also able to integrate resources that can strengthen oneself into life, or find out available resources from the past.
