David Skyman is a Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) Master Trainer with more than 20 years of experience in the field. In this conversation, David talks about the power of NLP and how the therapeutic process can be used to shape our lives.Our government in Westminster boasted in its 2010 Cabinet Office document 'MINDSPACE: Influencing Behaviour through Public Policy' that it now had the power to change the way people thought and behaved. This claim was true, and the Government had initially developed these manipulative psychological policies within its Behavioural Insights Team (BIT).In 2015, Brian Gerrish warned of the political dangers of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) in his article ‘From Magic to Madness — The Government's NLP Assault on Our Minds’. At that time, he was a lone voice warning of the risks. Some ten years later, Brian has now had an important discussion on the Government's malicious use of political applied psychology and hypnosis with NLP Master Trainer David Skyman. David warns that “[The behavioural] manipulation is not just coming through news — it's coming through programmes, it's coming through sitcoms, it's coming through cartoons and everything. So stop watching the TV, and start watching things that make sense”.Particular emphasis is placed on how governments and businesses use NLP to control belief and behaviour — especially how it was used during the Covid years.With his decades of experience, David also argues that NLP can be used for good. Using the gun analogy, he suggests that NLP itself is not necessarily a problem; it’s the person or institution using it.This is an interview for anyone interested in the human mind and why those in power are so determined to control it.Please note that there is a slight video delay when Brian is speaking. The video for David is fine, as is the audio for both David and Brian. Please do not adjust your sets.This interview also appears as an interesting article by Professor Diane Rasmussen in the latest issue of our quarterly magazine The Column, available in the UK Column online shop.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook ► Instagram
