Professor Clement D’souza honored for pioneering neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) at DK

Mangaluru: To get started, let’s learn about Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) – which is a pseudo-scientific approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, USA in the 1970s. The creators of NLP claim that there is a connection between neurological (neuro-) processes, language (linguistics), and behavioral patterns learned through experience (programming), and that these can be altered to achieve specific goals in life. Bandler and Grinder also claim that the NLP methodology can “model” the skills of exceptional people, allowing anyone to acquire those skills. They also claim that, often in one sitting, NLP can treat issues such as phobias, depression, tics, psychosomatic illnesses, nearsightedness, allergies, colds, and learning disabilities. NLP has been adopted by some hypnotherapists and also by companies that run seminars marketed as leadership training for businesses and government agencies. NLP provides the tools you need and the platform to transform your life and help others to do the same.

And locally we have Professor Clement D’Souza, a dynamic native of Dakshina Kannada, who during his 73 years was for almost 34 years professor of economics at St. Agnes College, Bendore-Mangaluru, and before he can retire. he chose to pursue NLP among other apprenticeships. And in the span of 15 years, he has conducted over 100 NLP trainings in Mumbai, Goa, Mangaluru and different parts of Kerala, Ahmedabad and many other places in India. Outside of India, he was invited to places in the Persian Gulf regions to do therapy with lay people, priests, nuns, men and women religious and doctors. And for the excellent work he has accomplished and for his tremendous success in this golden age – colleagues, friends and supporters congratulated / honored Professor Clément D’souza on Sunday February 16, 2020 at 6 p.m. at the Assistant’s residence social worker, Ms. Sabrina Hougaard in Falnir, Mangaluru.

On the occasion, Professor Clément D’souza was congratulated with a shawl. plaque, souvenir and fruit basket of Jesper Hougaard, entrepreneur and psychopathic analyst; Ms. Mary Golstein from UK – Transactional Analysis Trainer; Richard Almeida from Mumbai – Master Practitioner in NLP; Dr Charles Crasto from Mumbai – Psychotherapist / NLP Master Practitioner; and Krish Shreenath from Chennai – NLP Trainer / Professional Transformation Specialist – they all congratulated Professor D’souza for complimenting Professor Clement’s good work regarding NLP.

Addressing the audience, Prof. Clement D’souza said, “I am overwhelmed by the kind gesture that has been made to me in honoring me for my service and efforts in NLP training. Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) is an art and a science of how people can change their lives. It is behavioral science and technology. It has its roots in real life behavior. Therefore, it is very pragmatic, not just theory and research. Simply put, it is a set of principles, attitudes and techniques that will guide people on how to eliminate unwanted behaviors and adopt new, determined behaviors that will empower them to take advantage of states of physical, mental and emotional well-being. It’s about how people are successful at what they do, how they get the results they want and how they improve their quality of life. NLP deals with the “structure of human subjective experience”.

“The three components involved in the human experience are neurology, language and programming. NLP studies how we organize our thoughts (neuro), what meaning we give to our thoughts that produce our emotions (linguistics) and how these two together produce our behavior (programming), both conscious and unconscious. Medical science recognizes the fact that almost 70 to 80 percent of all illnesses (illness) are psychosomatic in nature. Therefore, in most cases, we are changing the internal representation, the map, the mental software, or the structure of the experience. With NLP, you can relieve your phobias, traumas, change long habits and unwanted feelings, resolve inner conflicts, create positive inner feelings, and build new beliefs. By changing or improving the qualities or components of this structure (mental software), you can achieve the results you need. I have cured many people with various symptoms using NLP techniques. No doubt, NLP works, ”added Prof. Clément.

After his speech, he asked if anyone in the audience had severe headaches / migraines and that he would heal them in two minutes. But no one showed up – it looked like everyone in the audience was healthy and fit, with no headaches either! The program was led by Richard Almeida, and hosting / arrangements were made by Ms. Sabrina Hougaard.
