Frank Farrelly influence on NLP


NLP and Provocative Therapy

Frank Farrelly met Bandler and Grinder after they had published Frogs into Princes. Bandler especially was keen to meet Frank and recorded a whole weekend of Frank working including all the breaks between the actual event. Bandler has always credited Frank as being one of the few therapists who was "doing something" and in 2007 during one of my interviews with RB, he talked about Frank at length and how he first came across his book in a Berkley bookstore.

Richard commented

"Farrelly had to be one of the most courageous people on the face of the earth to do the wackiest things he did."

Some NLPers "don't get Frank" but Richard and John certainly did and in "Frogs into Princes" they described him as "a really exquisite example of requisite variety."

In recent years I have hosted many of Frank's events and attended Provocative Therapy workshops on numerous ocassions. Many NLPers are too in their "NLP heads" and some even believe that the whole PT approach is just being rude to clients, which of course is quite ludicrous. More skilled NLPers like Dr Graham Dawes appreciate that there are many levels to the way in which Frank works and in his "Bermuda Triangle of the Mind" (found at http://www.provocativetherapy.info/) Graham describes the different dimensions of Frank's approach.

Provocative Therapy in action

Provocative Therapy can be described in terms of NLP, but pre dates NLP by over a decade as Frank was first using this approach in 1963. My view is that Bandler in particular was influenced by Frank and when I first saw Frank in 2004 I was amazed by many of the similarities in their attitudes. PT works very much in "the here and now" and many skilled NLPers like Anka Konemann (interviewed on http://www.associationforprvocativetherapy.com/) who had trained extensively with Robert Dilts have followed his work for many years and in her case acted as a translator.
See Frank Live in the UK
Tranceforming NLP have hosted Frank since 2005 and will doing so again in 2008 - see http://www.tranceformingnlp.com/provocative_therapy_frank_farrelly_workshop_leeds_uk.php
and this is an opportunity to see a real master of communication in action. Some delegates will also have the opportunity to have a one to one session with Frank hmself.

The Association for Provocative Therapy and PT Products
I set up TheAssociation for Provocative Therapy with Frank's endorsement to promote PT in the UK. Many NLPers have already begun to attend Frank's events and to exband their skills. When I first met Frank there were no CDs or DVDs, but now there are a host of different products which can be purchased from http://www.provocativetherapy.info/

Endless web work and some great quotes

Updating websites is a major consumer of time. Its a bit like keeping a house in good repair, without constant attention sites don't get listed and people don't visit. This month I added another 11,000 works to www.nickkemp.com including excerpts from the last RB interiew as well as a number of quotes I collected from him over the years. Here are a few favourites

"People always tell me with absolute certainty that they don't trust themselves"

"All we are ever doing is putting things together or taking things apart¦"

"We take the very best of what people do, synthesise it down, make it learnable and share it with each other - and that is what the real future of what NLP will be and its gonna stay that way!"

"If your world isn't moving a hundred times faster than your client, then you're not going to see the other person's patterns. You won't have the time to observe them or replay their behaviour to detect their patterns."

Richard Bandler co creator of NLP interview excerpt

Interview with Richard Bandler co creator of NLP by Nick Kemp

Richard Bandler - I've always talked about NLP as an evolutionary tool. You know, because certainly at the bottom line, people do it to get rid of a phobia or they do it so that, you know, they can motivate themselves a little better. But as soon as you start thinking about your thinking, then you have a whole other level of consciousness that didn't exist. Because now, when you start making choices about which tone of voice you talk to yourself in and where this picture is, and if you have a belief you don't like, the fact that you can dissolve it... Cos if you can get rid of one fear with a phobia cure, you can get rid of five.
And then you have to do something else, because it's not enough to just take something away; you have to put something in its place. Which brings us to design human engineering and the swish pattern. And as soon as you start thinking about, 'Well, if I'm going to take this away, then I'm going to put this up,' you start building propulsion systems and, of course, what are propulsion systems? They're designer states of consciousness. And as soon as you design new states of consciousness, then you can have new thoughts and therefore people get more freedom.
You know. Ultimately when people first - Like this practitioner group that's going on downstairs. These people are - All the notes they give me are about, 'How do I get rid of this pain?' When you start getting to the Master Prac by the end of that, after people knock out most of their pain, then they start going, 'Well, what can I do that's good?' They start going: 'Well, I'm much smarter.' Cos like you said, where you could never conceive of being so successful as an NLP trainer. I remember when you started. You were not a man of confidence! [Laughter] You know. You were one of those guys that starts out that, you know, you got a lot of crappy messages when you were young and weren't so sure of yourself and stuff, but as soon as you start doing things that work, you start sitting up straighter. You start asking the question, 'Well,' you know, 'I didn't used to think I could do this and now I can.' And you start going, 'Well, how crazy could I get?' [Laughter] You know, you're on TV for 27 weeks, you got clients coming out of the wall, you got all this stuff... And it's not just you: this is going on all over the planet.
I grew up in the first age of information. As Gregory Bateson, you know, said to me once- You know, because when- All of his students obviously attacked me, because they didn't know Bateson and I were friends. And when the Structure of Magic was sent to people, even Jay Haley said, "No-one's going to be interested in this. And obviously you don't understand Bateson's work." And Bateson said, "We succeeded where they failed." It's in the introduction of the Structure of Magic. Because Bateson, [Laughs] unlike his students, wasn't attached to his theory. He looked at me and he said, "Why didn't I do this?" and I said, "You couldn't have, Gregory, because the mathematics hadn't been invented yet." There was no cybernetics; there was no information science. Given what he did in those years, it was absolutely a genius step. I mean, he was a brilliant man. He invented the field of heuristics. If it wasn't for him, I couldn't have come along. But the tools that I had at my disposal - the fact that I knew how to program and model human behaviour so a computer could do it - meant that I could model human behaviour so another human could do it. And, you know, coming from a scientific background instead of a psychological or a sociological background, I wasn't looking for causes. I was looking for solutions, and it's a totally different thing. Who cares why a computer can do something? It either can or it can't. And if it can't get to the end, it freaks. It just doesn't get to the end. It doesn't go to the end and lie to you and go, 'Well, it really is the right answer,' even though it's not working. It either works or it doesn't!
