Steve Andreas – Self Concept & NLP
Description
In addition to self-esteem, the power of the self-concept in motivating and controlling human behavior has been recognized for many years. This pattern, developed by Steve and Connirae Andreas, uses submodalities to reveal an existing self-concept structure and then build a new one with the same structure. During this demonstration, Peter learned to think of himself as attractive, and the widespread impact of this change was demonstrated in subsequent interviews with Peter and his wife. (42 minutes, 32 seconds long.)
In this video, Steve shows us how to use submodalities (sensory differences such as bright / dim; loud / quiet; hard / soft) to reinforce the Self. Steve’s client Peter learns to think of himself as attractive; and through subsequent interviews, you will learn how this change affected Peter and his wife. To get the most out of this video, you will need prior NLP experience.
Sample Workshop Notes
Belief change processes are appropriate whenever there is a limiting belief, which is usually denial. The old limiting faith must be weakened before the new faith is established to avoid conflict.
However, sometimes there is no limiting belief; man has simply not constructed a useful generalization for himself that is durable. In this case, you can find out how they support long-term generalization and use this format to build a new one.
Some people are able to maintain a firm sense that they have some qualities – to be capable, attractive, etc. – even when events or people around them temporarily contradict these qualities. Other people are much more dependent on others to constantly convince them of a particular property, even if they often demonstrate it in their behavior, and they can take very seriously any denial of this property by a person or event, no matter how many positive examples they tested.
1. Desired Attribute. Think of an attribute that is important to you as a person, but which you know is only true to you through ongoing external verification by others. Some examples of attributes are: being smart, worthy, valued, respected, etc. Which property you would like to know is true for you? For example, when people say to you, “that was very kind,” do you wonder or somehow discount it? Test by asking the person the question, “Are you a (kind) person?” And observe the non-verbal response.
Ecology: choose what currently requires external conditions that are causing you trouble. For example, annoying others because they constantly ask them for comfort. Please note that this is different from external validation in an appropriate and useful way of feedback.
2. Self-Concept. Think about a personality trait that you like and that you know is true for yourself. For example, you know that you are smart, assertive, creative, considerate, and so on. You have a way of knowing this internally, even when a particular event clearly contradicts it, or someone else disagrees with you at the moment. Check by asking, “Are you a (smart) person?” and watch for non-verbal responses.
3. Notice how you present a trait that you like and that you know is true in terms of submodalities. How do you represent this intrinsic attribute so that your knowledge that it applies to you is strong and durable? Typically, there is a “snapshot”, image, voice, or feeling that is used as a short reference. This is supported by a larger “database” of examples, usually in the same representational system. Ideally, this database includes all representational systems. While this may sound counterintuitive, the generalization is reinforced by the inclusion of a few counterexamples (roughly 10%): times when you weren’t smart, kind. loving, etc. If the person does not include counterexamples, take the time to access and include a few. This will make the person feel even more confident about this characteristic.
4. Map Across. Take an attribute that you want to know internally is true for you, and imagine it in the same way that you make a trait of the self-concept that you like and that you know is true for yourself. It might take a while to get access to enough views of examples of this. Take the time to build this understanding thoroughly. After accessing the database, create a “summary view.”
5. the future is the pace and the test. Take this new insight into the context of the future, where it will matter, and experience what it is like to know that this property is true for you in that context. Also ask, “Are you a (loving) person?” and observe the non-verbal response. You should be observing a non-verbal response that is similar to what you observed in step 2 above (and different from what you observed in step 1).

So what is NLP?
NLP stands for Neurolinguistic Programming. Neuro refers to your neurology;
Linguistics refers to language; Programming refers to how this neural language functions.
In other words, learning NLP is like learning the language of your own mind!
NLP is the study of superior communication — both with oneself and with others.
It was developed by simulating excellent communicators and therapists who have obtained results with their clients.
NLP is a collection of tools and techniques, but there is much more to it.
It is the attitude and methodology of knowing how to achieve your goals and get results.
