Health & Personal Development2014HOW THE BRAIN FEELS
Working with Emotion and Cognition
by Philip Harland
“Let my heart be wise. It is the gods’ best gift.” Euripides Models of facilitation (therapy, counselling, teaching, coaching, health management, etc.) have rarely dealt with the inter-dependency of emotion and cognition. In the 1980s, NLP researchers developed the concept of the structure of emotion. Work in the 1980s on ‘Meta-States’ addressed the modulating of primary emotional states with cognitively-led meta-levels of feeling. Here Clean Language psychotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner Philip Harland explores the neuro-linguistic basis of Emotional Intelligence, relating recent work on the structure and relationship of emotion and cognition to innovative therapist David Grove’s work in Clean Language and Therapeutic Metaphor. Philip worked for many years with the late David Grove. They co-facilitated many clients together and ran seminars in Britain, France and New Zealand. Philip Harland is a Clean Language psychotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner. He is also the author of ‘Trust Me, I’m The Patient: Clean Language, Metaphor and the New Psychology of Change’; ‘The Power of Six: A Six Part Guide to Self Knowledge; and the two short Clean Language–related books ‘Resolving Problem Patterns with Clean Language and Autogenic Metaphor’ and ‘Possession and Desire: working with addiction, compulsion and dependency’; all published by Wayfinder Press.

Clean Language, Metaphor and the New Psychology of Change

An essential read for anyone who finds themself counseling, coaching, or working with others. Takes you step by step through a process that lends itself to the most profound therapeutic transformation and yet can be used informally at home, at work, or in the queue for the bus.

And what will happen as a result is that the people you facilitate will get to know, change, and heal themselves.

Health & Personal Development2014RESOLVING PROBLEM PATTERNS
with Clean Language and Autogenic Metaphor
by Philip Harland
How can problem patterns be discerned, decoded and the information within them released? This guide has five parts: ‘What is as Pattern?’ ‘How Can Patterns be Discerned?’ ‘How Can Problem Patterns be Decoded?’ ‘How Can the Information Within be Released?’ and ‘Then What Happens: the Nature of Change’. At a time when psychoactive drugs are being prescribed more widely than at any time in history, it is more important than ever to educate ourselves about the alternatives. The drug-free resolution of problem patterns of behavior, feeling or belief is as important for health professionals to be able to facilitate as it is for their clients and patients to achieve. This guide has a bias towards the talking therapies – and in particular the radical new art of Clean Language – but its precepts and procedures are applicable to any area of human enquiry. New, more productive, patterns of behaviour, feeling and belief emerge through CleanLanguage modelling as the client identifies component parts of their perceptions, develops these in form, space, or time; elucidates key relationships between them; discerns patterns across the relationships and translates these patterns to their everyday lives. As a result it is the client, not the facilitator, who determines the significance of their perceptions. And as the system learns about its own organization, a context for self-generated change is created and it is the client, not the facilitator, who determines what needs to happen for the system to evolve. Philip Harland is a Clean Language psychotherapist and author of ‘Trust Me, I’m the Patient: Clean Language, Metaphor and the New Psychology of Change’; ‘The Power of Six: a Six Part Guide to Self Knowledge’; ‘Possession and Desire: understanding and working with addiction, compulsion and dependency’; and ‘How the Brain Feels: working with emotion and cognition’; all published by Wayfinder Press, London England.

Health & Personal Development2014POSSESSION AND DESIRE
Working with Addiction, Compulsion and Dependency
by Philip Harland
Understanding and working with addiction, compulsion and dependency; a 6-part guide for addicts, enablers and therapists“Choosing the temporary discomforts of desire over the permanent discomforts of possession” Part I VIOLENT PLEASURES ARE RELIEFS OF PAIN Each one of us is prone to addiction or dependency to a greater or lesser degree. Part I is about understanding why this is so. Part II SOME ADDICTIONS FEEL PHYSICAL, BUT ALL ADDICTIONS ARE MENTAL Addiction is a subject for study. Addicting is something we do. Part II follows the bodymind process of becoming addicted as a basis for deciding where we wish to go next. PART III THE PHYSICIAN’S PROVIDER How as therapists and facilitators do we position ourselves in relation to addictive clients? How does language affect our beliefs and practices? Part III discusses the difference between intervening and interfering, and between conscious and unconscious outcome forming. It suggests a way to align ourselves with the client’s outcome and to activate change without resorting to supposition, interpretation or suggestion. PART IV THE LIMIT OF DESIRES As addicts we give energy to a system that encourages us to play victim and persecutor in turn. Part IV examines the differences between ‘quitting’ and ‘controlling’. The continuum of progression from simple desire to complex need to total possession is explored. PART V ADDICTIVE CONTRADICTIONS Part V deconstructs typically addictive double-binds and dualities, including the familiar dilemma of being caught between aversion (‘I must give up X’) and attraction (‘I can’t give up X’). Eight approaches to resolving duality thinking are identified and explained PART VI AUDITING FOR X Unscrambles haphazard approaches to client assessment and offers a systematic audit for facilitators of all kinds, including self-helpers, to assess addictions, compulsions, and dependencies and to work successfully with them through language as an alternative to medical means. The audit is arranged in four frames: person, possession, pattern, and preference: Person: how much of the client is involved, and where? Possession: what is the nature of the client's attachment? Pattern: how do the client's life patterns and internal patterns relate? Preference: what choices does the client have? Most of us can learn to move from addictive state to non-addictive state. Those uncertain about the path to take will find the aids to navigation here useful both theoretically and practically. We may all – addicts and enablers, therapists and clients alike – learn to deal with the occasional discomforts of desire rather than the permanent discomforts of possession. Philip Harland is a Clean Language psychotherapist and author of ‘Trust Me, I’m the Patient: Clean Language, Metaphor, and the New Psychology of Change’; ‘The Power of Six, A Six Part Guide to Self Knowledge’; ‘Resolving Problem Patterns with Clean Language and Autogenic Metaphor’; and ‘How The Brain Feels: working with Emotion and Cognition’.
