What is NLP?

Neuro Linguistic Programming, or NLP, has been described as "A users manual for the brain." NLP integrates thought and the nervous system (Neuro), communication and the power of language (Linguistic) and the unconscious habits and patterns we run on (Programming). Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) resulted from the research of human behaviour in the 1970s undertaken by Dr Richard Bandler and John Grinder. By studying the patterns of the most successful communicators and human change agents, they discovered the structure and methodology of human excellence! They developed a set of techniques by studying very successful therapists, Milton Erickson and Virginia Satir, and incorporated the ideas of Fritz Pearls and Gregory Bateson to create models (or patterns) to help people make incredible shifts in their life. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) was created as a practical method, a technology and an attitude which give us a deeper understanding of how we, as human beings function and gives the tools to understand the psychology behind human behaviour.

About NLP

Can you begin to imagine what it is like to live exactly as you would like to, and to overcome any limiting beliefs you may be having about yourself or your performance. Perhaps you have experienced a time when being in a particular state has presented obstacles, or you find yourself in old, un-useful patterns of behaviour. What is it that makes it possible to overcome such obstacles? Obstacles that, as humans, we all can encounter from time to time? NLP!
