NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming)
NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) is the study of how we think, feel, act, and process information to get better results in different areas of our lives, from improving sales performance to developing effective relationships but most of all, how to feel GOOD!.
NLP is a fairly recent development, originating at the University of Santa Cruz in the mid-seventies when a group of talented people led by Richard Bandler and John Grinder came together to share information and insights across disciplinary boundaries. It incorporates insights from behavioural and Gestalt psychology, family therapy, hypnotherapy, linguistics, information theory and anthropology, among many other disciplines.
As NLP is the study of what we already do, a lot of the technques are very easy to apply and take a matter of minutes to learn. Everyone at some point in their lives has used NLP but will not necessarily be aware of it! A perfect example is anchoring which is a very popular NLP technique. Many of us will have heard a piece of music, smelt a familiar fragrance or had an image pop into our minds which made us remember a person or enjoyble experience that made us feel happy. These are all anchors which have the power to make us feel good and carry on feeling good irrespective of our current situation. As the name suggests NLP also includes the study of language patterns where we can elicit information by accessing the unconscious mind. We can gain a better insight into how someone is really feeling and what they really want as well as encouraging them to consider new ways of thinking and feeling.
