What do you mean when you say "you"?

I have more formal credentials with NLP then with academic psychology.

Even if the entire NLP/hypnosis/seduction/whatever industry is just a giant crackpot convention

I have multiple friends who makes their living in that industry. One of my best friends worked for a while as a salesperson for Bandlers seminars. I don't have friends who have as much friends who have degrees in academic psychology.

I just understands both sides well enough to tell you about the situation we have at the moment.
