What is NLP and how can it help me?NLP, or Neuro Linguistic Programming to give it its full title, is a branch of Psychology which studies precisely how we run different behaviours and responses. It is also about how we learn everything, from bad habits to excellent performance. Any ability to do something is made up of a series of skills, woven together by an individual in a specific sequence, which they then run. NLP provides an understanding of these skill patterns, and has developed profound techniques for individuals to change these behaviours - if they want to. NLP has been described as a body of ideas and a way of thinking, a toolbox of techniques for adjusting to modern life. Its content is the study of subjective experience.... but what is that? Subjective experiences are things we define for ourselves, like being healthy or being ill, being happy or being sad, being successful or being a failure. Such definitions have a powerful effect on performance. This is enhanced by studying the effect of Beliefs on an individual. Beliefs are the principles around which we act. These drive our behaviour and capabilities. And because of this they have a powerful self fulfilling effect. For example, whether you say "you can" or "you can't" - you're right! Our most deeply held beliefs create our Identity, our sense of self. It is by understanding our individual worlds and how we built them up through our own experiences that we are able to make changes to our behaviour and beliefs using the tools that NLP provides. So what does the name mean?

I find it amazing how excited I get just talking about and planning what I really want to do! It makes it feel like you are starting to work toward your goal and putting your dreams into action , which is really encouraging……..I look forward to the future! Why not try out some examples and see how it helps you.Neuro refers to Neurology, how mind and body are linked through the nervous system. It builds from an understanding of how an individual has stored the different memories that they received through their 5 senses and the effect of imagination. Linguisitic refers to how we influence ourselves and others through language and more complex patterns of communication. It looks at the power of beliefs and identity to influence our behaviour, and how language can be utilised to make changes. Programming is defined as repeated patterns of thought and behaviour: how we act to reach our goals. So much of our behaviour runs in unconscious patterns that we are not aware of them - fine if this is working constructively for us, but stressful if it isn't. Once brought to the conscious attention the patterns and beliefs that support them can be adjusted and new behaviours result. NLP offers a range of techniques can be used to direct your behaviours and beliefs, to help you achieve goals and dreams. Because of its effectiveness, NLP is having major impacts in the areas of Business, Health, Education and Sport. Click on the following links to find out more |
