In this article by Nancy Blake, she argues that it is unethical and harmful to use Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) to persuade a person with ME to deny the biomedical realities of ME/CFS, to tell them that all will be well if they just deny their illness, give up the habits of rest and energy conservation they have learned to use, and any aids they may also rely on.

Instead she believes that NLP can be used to encourage a patient to change the way they think about exercise, how to fight the illness and how to rest, in order to promote better health.
