"A rose is still a rose by any other name"
NLP is a trade marked term. And for as long as we live in a capitalist
society, we will have to accept that many judge their position in society
by the amount of money they have. And after all, it's all about "whatever
makes you happy" at the end of the day.
Do not be discouraged that some people do this for money. There really are
some great skills to be learned - one being the skill in finding harmony in
the world you live in - a world generally full of idiots; everyone, that
is, except YOU. (did you feel my tongue reach out toward your bottom
crevice there?)

You need to look at your skills in conciously "inducing a state of
psychological comfort with your 'partner'" or "rapport" (as it has been
termed.)

Once you have a definition for each word, then it is easier to say "anchor"
than "make a thing happen, then do a special different thing such that when
the second thing is repeated the first thing is triggered again."
The opening pages to Douglas Adams 'Mostly Harmless' (a generally crap book
imho) explains this quite well in (as I recall) four sentences spread over
four pages... "anchor" is still a simpler term to use in general discussion
- particularly on specialist news groups.

Would you be more specific about what you term a "Covert Waking Trance"
It kinda makes sense, but I could be way off.
