NLP Breakthrough Sessions vs. The Demartini Method®: Choosing the Fast Track to Transformation

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Carl Jung

If you’ve been on the path of personal development, you’ve likely heard about NLP Breakthrough Sessions—a deep-dive process designed to uncover the root cause of a persistent problem, release it, and create lasting change.

But what if there was a faster, more precise way to break through your limitations?

While NLP Breakthrough Sessions offer valuable insights and relief, Dr. John Demartini’s method goes deeper, faster:

• Bypassing the need for long-winded personal history collection (because everything you need is condensed into the present moment), and
  
• Directly dissolving the illusion of limitation (because when you see both sides, there is no limitation)

In this article, I’ll break down the key differences between a traditional NLP Breakthrough Session and the Demartini Method® as I apply it, and why—if you’re serious about transformation—you might want to take the more direct route with me.

The Key Difference

You’ve probably heard that if you want to break through your blocks, you need to clear “limiting beliefs” and release “negative emotions”. Traditional NLP Breakthrough Sessions are built around this idea—that certain thoughts and emotions are “bad” and must be eliminated.

But what if this approach is actually keeping you stuck in the same cycles?

What if the very act of labeling something as “negative” is further polarizing you, reinforcing the very pattern you’re trying to escape?

This happens because your mind now splits experiences into “good” and “bad” when you see “baggage” such as “negative emotions” and “limiting beliefs” as bad.

And from NLP, we know that what you resist, persists.  So, if you resist “baggage” because it’s bad, you unconsciously keep attracting it.

By reinforcing the idea that some thoughts and emotions are unwanted, NLP often leads to temporary relief but not permanent transformation.

People go through NLP Breakthrough Sessions, feel better for a while, but then find themselves running the same patterns again and again—because the fundamental perception hasn’t changed.

This is where the Demartini Method® breaks the mold. Instead of making moral judgments about thoughts and emotions—good vs. bad, positive vs. negative—it dissolves the illusion of limitation entirely by revealing the full picture.

If you’re looking for the fastest, most effective way to transform your life, understanding the difference between these two approaches is critical.

Please Note: This article is an oversimplification of the Demartini Method® to give you an idea of the key differences.  This is not a comprehensive explanation or set of steps to follow. A lot more is happening within a private session with me than what I can describe in one blog article.

How The Demartini Method® Gets Faster, More Lasting Results

Unlike NLP, the Demartini Method® doesn’t operate on the belief that certain emotions or thoughts are bad. Instead, it starts with the understanding that nothing is inherently positive or negative—our suffering comes from our perceptions being imbalanced.

1. No Judgment = No Polarization = No Repeating Patterns

• NLP makes a moral judgment: “negative emotions = bad. We need to get rid of them.”
  
• The Demartini Method® makes no such judgment. Instead, we ask key questions such as:
  • What is the benefit of this belief or emotion?
  • How has this been serving me in my highest values?
  • Where is the equal and opposite side of this experience?

When you see both sides of the equation, the charge disappears—without the need to “clear” anything.

2. No Need to Dig Through Your Entire Past

• In an NLP Breakthrough Session, you have to go through a long personal history to track where the problem started.
  
• With the Demartini Method®, we don’t need to search through your past because the emotional charge is already present now.
  
• Whatever is running your life is showing up in your perceptions today, so we work with that directly—saving you hours of unnecessary exploration.

3. The Fastest Path to True Empowerment

• NLP tries to replace “limiting beliefs” with new beliefs.
  
• The Demartini Method® dissolves the illusion of limitation entirely—so there’s no need for new beliefs, because you see the full truth.
  
• Instead of trying to “install confidence,” you dissolve the perception that you ever lacked it which is true and more empowering.

Example: “I’m Not Good Enough”

Let’s say you struggle with a deep belief of “I’m not good enough.”

How NLP Handles It

• Traces the belief back to childhood.
  
• Finds events that reinforced the belief.
  
• Installs a new belief, like “I am worthy.”

This works temporarily, but if an external event contradicts the new belief, the old belief is recreated.

How the Demartini Method® Handles It

• We don’t assume “not good enough” is a problem.
  • We denominalize the belief—turning it back into specific actions that created the perception.
    
• We ask:
  • In each moment of perception: How does this action benefit me?
    
• Once you see that this belief was actually serving you, the charge dissolves completely.

No need to install a new belief. No need for affirmations. You simply see the whole picture, and the problem disappears on its own.

As a result of the balanced perception, that old belief is gone and not recreated by external events.

The Competitive Advantage: Why Work With Me?

• More Done in Less Time – You don’t need a long, drawn-out session digging into your past. We go straight to where your perception is charged today, so you get results faster.
  
• No More Temporary Fixes – NLP often requires more work because the underlying perception hasn’t changed. With the Demartini Method®, once the perception is balanced, it’s gone for good.
  
• No More Emotional Ping-Pong – Instead of bouncing between feeling good and bad, you gain a state of inner certainty and resilience.

I love helping people balance their perceptions because, until they do, those imbalanced perceptions are running their life. If you don’t balance them, they control you. By balancing them, you empower yourself.

If you’re tired of running the same patterns and want real transformation that lasts, it’s time to take a different approach.
