“You go about life, being unaware of this and that, being scared of
simple insignificant things (like blood tests… yeah I know, go figure!)
and you find yourself paralysed and wanting out. Then you think you
have no way out. An you are stuck. Feeling suffocated.

And then you learn there is this thing called NLP (Neuro Linguistic
Programming). It sounds fun. You enrol to the course blissfully
unaware (yet again!!!) of this whole new, amazing, sunny side of the
world just at the reach of your hand. This what NLP was like for me.
In the middle of the course, I was going through personal hell. I was
a mess. NLP helped me live through it. Without being overly
dramatic, NLP helped me survive.

My coach and trainer, Viktoria was one with iron fist, covered in soft
silky gloves. Always there, totally unable to be prejudiced and
judgemental and with amazing sense for all of our needs.
She is one of those trainers (as my aunt, a retired kindergarten
teacher, defines as successful teachers) that pay equal attention to
all ‘kids’ (participants), yet each ‘kid’ leaves at the end of the day with
a warm feeling of being teacher’s favorite.

NLP is amazing. Viktoria is even better!

The program is full of laughter, cries, some serious in-dept self
revelation, practical tools you can use at work and life, new
friendships, acceptance and most of all love.

As I wrote for my final exam: “I went on a journey, and now I am new.
Knowing the best part is: I journeyed with you.”
