I am consistently amazed at how simple closure will satisfy most of us. As though learning or understanding wasn’t the objective, rather than merely settling our anxiety over not knowing.

Thanks to 9/11, boarding a plane is infinitely more […]

Portions of this article are excerpted from an NLP Practitioner Certification class held in 2000. Meaning reframe is the experience we’ve all had naturally where we “know” what is happening, what it means to us, and therefore what we expect will happen next. Suddenly, we have an experience or receive new information that abruptly changes […]
