Tradition NLP: find people who demonstrate excellence and using various tools create a model out of that excellence. Teach it to others.

DHE: use the same tools and distinctions to experiment and create new patterns rather than relying on other people to model them.

That's the basic distinction between the two, I think.

Really, DHE is just Bandler. That's all.

I'd watch saying that you didn't learn anything from the DHE tapes. Bandler has a way of sneaking up on you.

That is, he does a lot of "unconscious installation."

If anything, you can learn mad language pattern skills from Bandler. He is very sophisticated and layers techniques all the time. A lot of tonal anchors and chaining states, too.
