NLP vs The Meaden Method – What’s the Difference?
Introduction
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) offers useful tools for communication, reframing, and state management. Many people enjoy the practical techniques and mindset shifts NLP can provide.
The Meaden Method goes further. It integrates NLP with other advanced modalities (Havening, conversational hypnosis, PSYCH-K®) and works at the neurochemical level to reset the amygdala. That means you don’t just feel different—you are different, often within hours, with changes that last.
How NLP Works
NLP focuses on language, perception, and behaviour patterns. Techniques like reframing, anchoring, and future-pacing can shift how you think and feel in specific contexts. It’s practical and can be empowering, but results may depend on repetition and ongoing practice, and may not fully address deep trauma on their own.
How The Meaden Method Works
The Meaden Method combines the best of NLP with a root-cause brain reset. By working directly with the amygdala, it dissolves fear and emotional charge so the old patterns simply aren’t there anymore. Sessions can be content-free if you prefer privacy, are gentle and non-retraumatising, and you leave with skills for life—not a need for endless sessions.
NLP vs The Meaden Method – Comparison at a Glance
| NLP | The Meaden Method | |
|---|---|---|
| Core Mechanism | Language & behaviour techniques | Root-cause reset at brain level (amygdala) |
| Depth of Change | Context-specific shifts | Global emotional reset; fear response dissolved |
| Speed | Often needs repetition | Rapid change in hours |
| Content Disclosure | Varies; usually story-based | Content-free option; privacy protected |
| Trauma/PTSD | Not designed as a trauma modality | Designed for complex trauma/PTSD; holistic & simultaneous |
| Repetition Loop | Practice-dependent; may not break old wiring | Breaks repetition loops; dissolves emotional charge |
| Skills for Life | Tools & techniques to apply | You learn the method; self-sufficiency after sessions |
| Aftercare | Varies by practitioner | 21-day free trial to Aftercare, then £15.95/month with 80+ tools |
| Delivery | In-person/online coaching style | In-person or online with equal effectiveness |
| Overall Result | Useful mindset & behavioural shifts | Profound, lasting transformation; often “night and day” |
The Real Cost of Treatment
NLP often looks affordable per hour, but consider the total cost when change requires repetition and many sessions:
- Number of sessions (practice & refreshers)
- Travel & time (petrol, trains, parking, childcare)
- Time off work (lost earnings or holiday days)
- Emotional cost (waiting weeks or months to feel different)
- Relapse risk if old wiring isn’t changed at the root
Worked Example (Illustrative)
| Cost Component | NLP Coaching | The Meaden Method |
|---|---|---|
| Session fees | 8 sessions × £90 = £720 | 4-hour plan = £795 |
| Travel & parking | £10 × 8 = £80 | £0 (online) or minimal (in-person) |
| Time off work | 1.5 hrs × 8 × £20/hr = £240 | Single half-day or evening slot |
| Emotional cost of delay | Weeks to months of gradual change | Change in hours |
| Aftercare support | Varies | 21-day free trial, then £15.95/month rolling |
| Indicative total | £1,040+ (fees + travel + time) | £795 (+ optional £15.95/month aftercare) |
Cost recap: NLP can be powerful, but if many sessions are needed it often costs more overall. The Meaden Method is typically faster and more cost-effective because it changes the root cause quickly.
Client Experience
Many clients have tried NLP before seeing me. They gained insights and some useful tools, but deeper triggers remained. With The Meaden Method, those triggers are neutralised at the source, and clients leave with lifelong skills—not a need for refreshers.
