With all the fears about mind control and how Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can (and is) used to "mess with people's heads," it's time to let the cat out of the bag and let people know what's possible.
For instance, is it possible to make someone addicted to something with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)?
Yes, you can.
Let me give you two warnings before I tell you how to do it and how to keep yourself safe.
First of all, don't do this to people unless you're forcing them to do something good for them, like work out or eat healthy foods. If you think about anything else, it might be fun, but don't. Don't do it, just think about it. It's just not nice to do that to someone.
Second, you need to be very good at NLP, report building, anchoring, etc., in order to do this.
Start by drawing out what NLP calls the "submodalities" of a person's compulsion. You can do this by asking them what things, like chocolate, they can't stop thinking about "When you feel that complacency, what do you see in your mind? Where do you find those pictures? How big is each picture? Black and white or colour? "..., etc.
Then, describe what you want them to be addicted to or compelled to in the same way. Talk about how the new compulsion is seen in the same place, etc.
I won't give you any more information than that. There's more than enough to try out different things.
Using this pattern, a person can become obsessed with drugs, sex, money, perfection, driving fast, etc., but they can also become obsessed with exercising, being on time, keeping things in order, and many other so-called "good" things.
There are ways to stop someone from making you do something without your knowledge. First, be aware of the mental and emotional states that people are asking you to describe, and be on guard when they start talking about compulsions.
If you think that someone has secretly given you an unwanted compulsion (good luck), you can get rid of it with a process called "meta yes/meta no."
In Meta Yes/Meta No, you'll start by thinking of something you would say "No" to that has nothing to do with your compulsion. Think about that thing, bring up the very strong feeling you have about it, and say "No" over and over again in a very firm and consistent way. Practice it until the feeling and the "No!" are deeply connected. The next step is to start telling the urge "No!" over and over again, with as much energy and conviction as when you first started the process.
