The Provocative dimension

I first began studying with Frank Farrelly in early 2004 and have had extensive exposure to his approaches. Since 2005 I have been involved in hosting him through Tranceforming NLP and in 2009 I will be hosting him through The Association for Provocative Therapy which I set up to promote standards in Provocative Therapy - http://www.associationforprovocativetherapy.com/

Frank's approach is quite different to NLP and Frank was a big influence on Bandler and Grinder who mention him in "Frogs into Princes" I was fortunate enough to interview both Frank abd Richard Bandler in recent years and ask eash of them about each other's work. Frank is of course two decades older than Richard and has over 50 years clinical experience.


Provocative Therapy works very much in the here and now and does not rely on any "techniques" Many NLPers initially struggle with PT when they try to get PT into an "NLP box" You can find a bunch of information on PT at http://www.provocativetherapy.info/ and of course the interviews I did with Frank and Richard can be found as mp3 downloads at http://www.nlpmp3.com/
