Hi Max

You can use NLP in one of two ways, either by learning it through books and or seminars or working with a coach that uses NLP, preferably someone who also has ADD training.

What you’re learning is exactly how your mind creates the ADD symptoms that you have. For example, you would learn what you do, behind the scenes, so to speak to create that racing mind, the distraction, the impulsiveness, etc.  It’s different for each person.

Yes, The ADD neurochemistry is there that directly causes the symptom, but our thoughts can cue up that neurochemistry or can circumvent it once we learn how to do that.

People that have learned how to control their thinking this way still get a racing mind, for example, but now they can race their mind when they want to, like while they’re brainstorming, and then slow it down when they want to, like when they’re doing something tedious.

Once you learn the skills, then they are yours to keep, and typically you’d learn enough that when new problems come up, you’d be able to use the same nlp skills to solve those too.

I used this when I was about t o be fired from a job because of ADD problems. Instead of being fired, I got 5 promotions within the year, and took over a division of the company in a different city. I was about to be fired because I was being distracted and making simple mistakes, and couldn’t stay organized and get my work done. After changing the mindsets with NLP, then the same job became more interesting so that it was easy to focus on.

The benefits are sustained after you complete the nlp work though.

Let me know if you have any further questions

Warmly

Rick
