Ok, so I'm still learning stuff about NLP but what's the overall opinion on NLP versus cognitive behavioural therapy??
Please help me understand this better... If anyone knows of any journal (medical/psychological) articles on the subject, I'd be very grateful.
Sleep well,
Rosie

So since NLP openly admits a lot of it is based on suggestion and self-suggestion it is basically more honest and truthful than CBT? ;)
Many people say that therapy is helpful if they 'click' with the therapist - there's even a special type of therapy called relational therapy..
If you google NLP vs CBT (which I just did and thus found this site lol) you'll find quite some answers...
Apparently NLP people say CBT is incorporated into NLP and some CBT practitioners are learning NLP to add more visuals and kinaesthetic experiences into the mix?

NLP seems like Bruce-Lee 'kungfu' of psychology - 'take whatever works' from wherever you can find it..
Don't know of any journals or 'official' articles tho.. Might be difficult because NLP has soo many different approaches, it's like 'open source' psychology/self-help, very many people have many different approaches and creativity is encouraged... (?)
Or you can look at it as CBT is the text ('Notepad/Word' file), NLP also has 'meta text'(photos, dancing/movement, YouTube..)
Both can be useful, in different or same circumstances..
