You only need to learn one or two fundamental
things with regard to 'conditioning' (which lies at
the root of abberent behaviour) and then the rest
is down to your ingenuity in devising means of altering
that conditioning - mainly by interruption, but sometimes
by superseding.
Th einterrupt will normal work on it's own (and the
psychological conditioning having stalled then the
default - and benevolent/harmonious/wholistic biological
conditioning will kick in PROVIDED the circumstances
or associations that form part of the original condition
(ie the anchors in NLP speak) are also addressed.
The fundamentals are:
1) condtioning exists in patterns
2) patterns can only exist (and take hold) in/by repetition
hduiejgdfkhj = a random sequence
hduiejgdfkhjhduiejgdfkhjhduiejgdfkhj = a pattern
Patterns exist as periodic oscillations, sometimes
simple, sometimes complex, but even the most complex
of oscillations can be broken into simple component parts.
That's all you need to know to begin with - the rest
falls in place as you apply it.
Once you become aware of the fundamentals - by
daily/moment to moment observation, not by mere intellectual
discussion and theorisation - then you should be able
to detect patterns in most things & in many cases deal
with them as necessary 'on the wing'. Alternatively,
you may use prescribed (usually tried and tested) 'technique'
as devised by others. The first method is best in terms
of actual in depth understanding; as for the second method,
well note that somewhere, sometime, somebody (usually
Milton Erickson!) originally devised that technique.
