Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Independence Homes has embraced neuro-linguistic programming as an intervention that can and does help service users in certain situations. Many people feel deeply unsettled after enduring a seizure, and neuro-linguistic programming can help the person in question to regain their composure after a seizure or a cluster of seizures. In essence neuro-linguistic programming works by identifying and eliminating negative or unwanted behaviours that aren’t helpful to an individual’s well being, and replacing them with more desirable behaviors.

Independence Homes specialist Pam Harris says:

“Very often, just an occasional session of neuro-linguistic programming can help people to regain the balance in their lives. With other people more intensive support may be needed over a longer period of time. The important point is that Independence Homes looks to provide this kind of innovative therapeutic intervention to its service users, which is a great approach.”

One service user, who had experienced years of non-epileptic seizures. An extensive programme of neuro-linguistic programming meant that the number of non-epileptic seizures (explanation) reduced to zero within weeks. If they reoccur, she now has the means to reduce them very quickly.
