NLP - Neuro Linquistic Programming

NLP was co-created by Richard Bandler and John Grindler who studied the structure of how humans think and experience the world, ie what happens when we think in a particular way and the effect of that thinking on our behaviour. They studied the methods of three successful psychotherapists and from their studies developed models of behaviour. From the models, techniques for quickly and effectively changing thoughts, behaviours and beliefs were developed.

Neuro means the nervous system (or mind) through which you process your experiences via your five senses, seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, and smelling. Our understanding of the world and what we describe as conscious thought comes via our neural networks to the brain.
Linguistic is the part that language plays in your communication with yourself and others. It is the system through which you code and give meaning to your experiences.
Programming refers to the way you program your thoughts and behaviours, it is the automatic programmes that you run in response to events around you.

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).

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.

Models that were appropriate for you as a child might no longer be beneficial to you and by examining how things work and how you think they should work, you can identify and change programs, which are out of date or no longer useful.
