BEHAVIOUR DESIGN
Me and my colleague Fredrik Praesto both work with clients and we have
treated well over a thousand each over the years. We use a varied tool box
that combines the powerful state induction tool of hypnosis with the language
and pattern interrupt interventions of NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) and
amygdala-reset techniques like Trauma Tapping and Havening.
Four years ago we sat down to compare clients and started looking at what
worked, when it worked and when something else seemed to work better on
another occasion for no apparent reason. It was intriguing, fascinating. We
were getting great results, but we wanted to be able to understand and
explain them. We found that every client is different, there is no single
explanation model that caters to the wonders and variety of mankind.
However, there are some patterns that kept repeating themselves and they
opened a door to a new way of understanding what type of intervention to
apply, when to apply it and where for spectacular, efficient and ecologically
sound results.
On our quest we wrote three books and developed a model that we found
had to be made physical for our brains to be able to use it, since the 2-
dimensional qualities of our imagination need this to truly understand the
simplicity of the behaviour compass. Let us share our story, we hope you will
find it as exciting and useful as we have, because we have decided to share it
with the world for free.
The reason we have decided to share it for free is selfish: We both have
children and we are living in a world where human actions are destroying the
very planet we rely upon for our survival. With the behaviour compass we can
understand ourselves and each other faster and better, and start designing
behaviours that are ecologically sustainable, that allow us to interact in peace
and feel good about it beyond fears and greed driven by misguided needs.
Lets start with what it is to be human
BEING HUMAN
As a human you do things. What you do defines your personality, and affects
the rest of the planet and every other living, feeling creature in some way.
When you walk into a room you may scan it for friendly or familiar faces, or a
place to sit for a while . When you hear your name spoken your attention will
direct your senses to find out why. As you step forward you smell a perfume
