Neurolinguistic programming has been all but universally discredited as pseudoscience, no different from phrenology or crystal healing. The events of this episode are simply not possible in real life.
Near episode's end, Carisi shows Benson and Barba something incriminating he discovered against Trask and says it occurred 18 years earlier. When Barba calls the arresting officer as a rebuttal witness, he tells the defense attorney and the judge that the incident occurred 22 years earlier.
