What is NLP?

Filled Under: Q & A | Posted on November 9, 2009

NLP is Neuro-Linguistic Programming .

Neuro – is our individual neurology and nervous systems, how our brain and mind work.

Linguistic – the language we use to speak consciously or unconsciously to ourselves and others.  In other words, Brain Language.

Programming – How we act, react, pattern and store information, adopt behaviors and though processes.  More specifically how we are programmed.

NLP is based in hard science.  How we are programmed with our understanding of life, beliefs and values that guide our individual neurology.  Much of this programming that influences our navigation of this world was formed by the time we were 8 years old.  Many of these patterns are formed to protect us.  As children they served us, as adults, they may not.  While any method of introspection brings levels of awareness, becoming aware does not necessarily offer absolute reasons to change our feelings or behaviors.  Techniques used in NLP, along with awareness are combined with interventions in order to interrupt and allow people to relearn patterns that can free us from many limitations.  As we grow, we outgrow many patterns yet we have few ways of changing automatic responses.  NLP is one extremely powerful way.

All the best,

Jeff
