The Lightning Process (LP) is a trademarked〔 three-day personal training programme developed by British osteopath Phil Parker.〔("Laura Mvula: 'I don't think I'm good at being a pop star. It's making me too paranoid'" ), ''The Independent'', 16 February 2014〕 Developed in the late 1990s, the three day course aims to teach participants techniques for managing the acute stress response that the body experiences under threat. The course aims to help recognise the stress response, calm it and manage it in the long term. It draws on ideas developed by osteopaths. It also applies some ideas drawn from neurolinguistic programming, as well as elements of life coaching. It claims to be beneficial for various conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome, depression and chronic pain. Evidence of efficacy from randomized trials is currently lacking (a clinical trial regarding chronic fatigue syndrome has been registered〔). The approach has raised some controversy.〔〔 ==Description== The Lightning Process comprises three group sessions conducted on three consecutive days, lasting about 12 hours altogether, conducted by trained practitioners.〔〔〔http://lightningprocess.com/what-is-the-lightning-process/〕 According to its developer, Phil Parker, the programme aims to teach participants about the acute stress response the body experiences under threat. It aims to help trainees spot when this response is happening and learn how to calm it. Techniques based on movement, postural awareness and personal coaching are intended to modify the production of stress hormones. Participants practise a learnt series of steps to habituate the calming method.〔Parker (2010), p. 7〕 The rationale for the programme draws on ideas of osteopaths Andrew Taylor Still and J M Littlejohn regarding nervous system dysregulation and addressing clients' needs in a holistic manner rather than focusing solely on symptoms.〔Parker (2010), pp. 42-44〕 It also incorporates ideas drawn from neuro-linguistic programming and life coaching. A basic premise is that individuals can influence their own physiological responses in controlled and repeatable ways.〔 Such learnt emotional self-regulation, it is suggested, could help overcome illness and improve well being, if the method is practised consistently.〔Parker (2010), p. 17〕 Parker advocates attending the training course in order to gain a full understanding of the tools in a safe and supportive context.〔Parker (2010), p. 11〕 He also lays emphasis on the trainee playing an active role in recovery (the course is framed as a fully participatory 'training', not a passive 'treatment' or set of answers given to a 'patient').〔Parker (2010), pp. 13-16〕〔Parker (2010), p. 27〕 He claims that the programme has helped to resolve various conditions including depression, panic attacks, insomnia, drug addictions, chronic pain and multiple sclerosis.〔Parker (2010), pp. 25-26〕 Perhaps most notably, it has been used with chronic fatigue syndrome.〔("Dangers of research into chronic fatigue syndrome" ) British Medical Journal'', 2011;342:d3780,〕〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Lightning Process」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
