Welcome to this site which I hope will answer some of your questions about phobias/anxiety/stress and the Lightning Process (LP). Having supported many people with phobias/anxiety/stress on their path to wellness I know how complicated finding solutions and answers can be. As you browse the site I am sure there will be some questions that you need answering by talking to a real person. Please use the 'Find a Practitioner' page to find your local practitioner who is there to support you as you find more about the LP and will be very happy to answer any questions you may have.
The Lightning Process is an excellent approach for phobias but in some cases just one or two hours of NLP is all that is needed, so please contact the team at Head Office to find out how to leave your phobias behind. If you would like more information please call 020 7374 0233 or email info@philparker.org.

Anxiety and stress are such common factors in so many peoples' lives and with the prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders in patients who frequently attend general practice being between 40% and 60% (Neal RD, 1998) (Baez K, 1998) (McFarland BH, 1985), and in the National Office of Statistics report of 2000. The Lightning Process approaches these issues by recognising that there needs to be a change in how your body is working, and how you are responding to things in order to get back to how you were before the anxiety struck. Using tools based on the theories of the way the brain and body interacts and an understanding of the complex hormonal response our body has to stress, the Lightning Process teaches you how to start to make sense of what has happened and how to start to get yourself out of that spiral of stress. The Lightning Process achieves great results where 67.2% of clients reported they no longer had the issues they came with by day three of the course.

Our Snapshot Feedback Survey has been designed as a tool to collect data from clients as to whether they feel they have gained any benefit from attending the Lightning Process course.  The results are therefore subjective.  Lightning Process practitioners are not medically trained and are therefore relying on client information about their diagnoses, symptoms and issues that they bring to the course.
The snapshot feedback survey is not a standardised, validated outcome measure; it is designed purely to inform us as to whether a client felt they gained benefit from attending the LP course.  We are currently undertaking a benchmarking exercise using standardised, validated outcome measures in collaboration with an independent research team in order to make any benchmarking statistics more robust.

Martin's feedback

"I want to sincerely thank Phil Parker for sharing his amazing discovery with me, and I implore anyone else whose life has been haunted by the terrible darkness of anxiety as mine has been, to take the chance and give this a try."  Read Martin's full story here

Christina's story

"I'm a lot calmer which has helped everything. Previous niggly body complaints have all vanished. My biggest triumph though is that I am now after 12 years able to do without my afternoon nap! This was really hard to do and it took a week of doing the process and persevering to conquer it. I'm so chuffed! Since then it seems everything else has just fallen into place. Everything seemed out of kilter and now I've got a much more sensible routine and am able to enjoy life so much more. I learned how to calm everything down - my mind, my body so I could think clearer. I was able to face stressful situations completely calmly by day 2. It was quite amazing."

Due to the nature of the training we cannot guarantee results as everyone is different, however we have received a considerable amount of positive feedback from clients with the varied symptoms that many people with anxiety disorders experience.
