NLP is a language-based alternative therapy that re-educates people to be more self-aware and in control of their thinking and behavior in order to change mental and emotional patterns. The NLP practitioner uses specific ways of speaking to help the person make these changes.

People with OCD are controlled by their minds, which make them worry and need to do a task to assuage the worries. The problem is that they don't feel better when they have done the task, so they have to do it again and again. NLP offers strategies to deal with these crippling thoughts so that the person can deal with them when they arise, and even become completely free of them. NLP gives the person a new way of thinking and feeling on an unconscious, deep level.

NLP can help retrain the mind, break patterns and feel more positive about life. NLP is about helping people gain control of their life.
