NLP - Neuro Linquistic Programming

NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming is a way of thinking about thinking and is used to
help you make changes in how your internal experiences affect your behaviour.

• Neuro means the nervous system (or mind) through which you process your experiences via your five senses.

• Linguistic is the system through which you code and give meaning to your experiences.

• Programming refers to the automatic programmes that you run in response to events around you.

NLP was co-created by Richard Bandler and John Grindler who studied the structure of how humans think and experience the world. The structure of something so subjective does not lend itself to precise, statistical formulae but instead leads to models
of how these things work. From the models, techniques for quickly and effectively changing thoughts, behaviours and beliefs that limit you have been developed. Many of the models in NLP were originally created by studying people who did things exquisitely well.

As you grew you were taught by example, by images, by ‘modelling’, how you were supposed to behave and what was acceptable and unacceptable. This learning was programmed into your sub-conscious mind.

NLP is a methodology based on the overall operational presupposition that all behaviour has a structure - and that structure can be modelled, learned, taught and changed (re-programmed.
NLP methodology operates on the premise that:
• If you are capable of structuring one response to an event, you are equally capable of structuring another one – preferably a more useful one
• You naturally offer instinctive clues about how you experience something which can be the key to responding differently
• The story you give of your life is only a smokescreen and not a very useful source of information
• Your sub-conscious mind – which controls your emotions and affects your body – obeys instructions rapidly
• You already have, waiting to be accessed all the resources and answer you need resting within you.

By examining how things work and how you think they should work, you can identify and change programs which are out of date or no longer useful.

I incorporate NLP methodology within other therapies to enable you to make quick, significant, positive changes of your choice.

“You have the ability to program for success or failure. We live by habits — failure habits or success habits. You have the choice which habits you want to control your life.” — Kevin Trudeau
