A phrase first coined by Alfred Korzybski. Alfred worked in the general semantics field in the 1900s. What does this phrase mean though? It means that our maps and models of how the world works will only ever be an approximate or an estimation of the ‘actual’ world. Of course, this makes sense at an intuitive level. An actual map of your city, state, or country, by necessity, has been scaled down to be practical. Specific elements have been filtered out in the process to create a “decent or useful” representation of the streets and pathways of the city for…

But simply changing the way you think and feel about yourself isn’t quite so easy as just deciding you’re going to do it. Beliefs about ourselves and about…

Your mind and how the learning process works. It’s just like learning to ride a bike. There are 4 steps to how your mind processes and learns anything new.

Step 2: Conscious Ignorance – In this step, you don’t know how to cycle, but you are aware of cycling and know that you don’t know how to ride a bike. Step 3: Conscious Knowledge – Here…

Richard Bandler, co-creator of NLP, once said, “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.” At the time he said this back in the 1970s it was quite controversial and caused an uproar. But now that we have learned more about the brain and how it works, this statement can be better understood. You can’t change the past (unless you have a time machine you’re not telling anyone about). It happened. It is a fact. And, now, it is forever in our memory.

Does the subconscious mind affect cognitive behavior? The short answer is, “Depends on who you ask.” Just like with most things the thoughts on this are divided. With that said, I think it does.

Erickson, know as the father of modern hypnotherapy, and whose techniques I have studied, it appears there is alway communication between the concious and subconcious, not only in one’s own mind, but between the minds of others, such as the therapist and client.…
