  Combining Tai Chi and NLP as a body and mind approach to patient recover   I [Mark Peters] work with many NHS patients with both chronic and acute medical conditions. I have led research into cardiac rehab, pulmonary rehab, and even a clinical study comparing tai chi and Zumba Gold as exercise for older adults. When teaching the first-ever tai chi for falls-prevention program to staff in the NHS, it became clear that anxiety and motivation were as great a problem as loss of physical ability. This led to me introducing the NHS staff to both the Meta and Milton models of NLP to change the way language was being used with patients, and the impact was so significant that I was asked to train staff in NLP so I developed a specific diploma course. I have also been asked to run a website for NHS staff titled “NLP in the NHS” which is now live and a regular resource for NHS staff. This new approach to patient language led to further bespoke training in patient engagement, staff coaching, and

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the Scout Mindset are both approaches to understanding and improving human thought, behaviour, and decision-making, but they come from different origins and philosophies.

Overcoming Addiction

Overcoming Addiction I tend to describe addiction as anything people want to stop doing, keep doing, and feel guilty afterwards. This means it is not just the obvious substance abuse but also gambling, shopping, gaming and more… Once it takes more than it gives and controls your life, it’s time to get help and regain freedom. This article will discuss the origin of the word, how addiction works, and effective approaches to recovery. Origin of the Word The word has such a negative connotation that I thought it would be interesting to look up its origin and was shocked at its change in meaning. The word " addiction " has its origins in Latin. It comes from the Latin word addictio , which was derived from addicere , a verb meaning "to give over, assign, or hand over."
