Richard
Bandler and John Grinder developed Neuro Linguistic
Programming (NLP) in the mid seventies. NLP is a
model of behaviour. Bandler and Grinder modelled
their techniques on three very influential
therapists: Virginia Satir- the founder of family
therapy, Fritz Perls who developed Gestalt therapy,
and Milton Erickson, the founder of hypnotherapy as
we know it today. They observed and modelled how
therapists communicated and achieved success in their
practice.
NLP combines three elements that map the key components of the human experience:
Neurology- this regulates how our bodies and minds function. It defines our senses, how we perceive the world around us, and how we respond.
Language – our words express our map of the world and help others understand our model of the world.
Programming – as a species we are programmed to habituate. We learn consciously and then allow that learning to "bed down" in the unconscious, which then continues to run the habit. As an example, do you remember when you first learnt something new? Learning to drive is a good example. That probably seemed very complicated at first, and yet now it happens so automatically that you sometimes barely remember how you got from A to B. The unconscious mind habituates. We are all running programmes mostly outside of our conscious awareness.
Some are:
As human beings, we all have the potential to stand in our own way. With NLP you will have the opportunity to access all the resources you have available to achieve the changes you want and more. You might be surprised at how much potential you have . . . get in touch if you want to find out.
