"The use of language to make lasting change"

The term talking cure was first used by a patient in the 1890’s to describe how a talking therapy that relieved her of her symptoms. The phrase was then adopted by Sigmund Freud to describe Psychoanalysis and today is used for any intervention that includes the spoken work. So Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neurolinguistics (NLP) and Time Line Therapy (TLT) are all forms of talking cures.

Essentially anything that uses the structure of language to promote change can be defined as a talking cure. As I qualified in Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming and a Time Line Therapy these are my prefered tools.
