Description

The treatment consisted of ten sessions, each presenting one NLP topic: introduction and presuppositions, goal setting with guided fantasy, sensory language across two sessions, metaphor, emotion, belief (flexibility), "There is no Failure; only Feed back", finding the best strategy, and review. Each technique presentation was followed by reading a medical text and answering related questions, with learners applying their diagnosed sensory style. The control group instead received traditional skimming and scanning instruction.
