Practical NLP Podcast 19: How to enhance a pleasant memory with visual submodalities

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

With this week’s episode of the Practical NLP podcast, we start looking at changework interventions, beginning with ‘visual submodalities’.

The podcast covers:

  • when you should, and when you shouldn’t, do changework
  • what submodalities are
  • how to make a good memory even better (and by extension, how to reduce the impact of a bad memory)

It features, among other things: the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, NLP ‘practitioners’ who don’t know what they’re doing, and why I think submodalities have an evolutionary basis.

This submodality checklist table is designed as a support to this episode of the Practical NLP podcast. It may not make much sense on its own.
