Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is known as an effective approach to communication, learning, and psychotherapies. Whereas the approach originally emphasizes the client’s internal experience, there have been some criticisms and problems, such as too much simplification of therapeutic methods, or difficulties of utilizing the technique outside sessions. This article presents how NLP successfully worked to the client with flashbacks and trouble with leaving home. Basic models and tools were utilized in sessions, so that the client could use them. Considerations include (1) reconstruction of symptom as client’s patterns for experience, (2) sharing therapeutic strategy showing maps, (3) practice of techniques.
