what is neuro linguistic programming? (NLP)
 
     
 

Neuro Linguistic Programming enables you to understand yourself, how you think, how you feel and how you make sense of everything around you. It is often described as a set of tools that show you how to run your own mind.

  
   
   
 

It is a very logical, practical and effective technique, and one which is now widely used in therapy.

  
     
 

Neuro

              
 

Neuro is concerned with the information that our brain receives through our senses and
how this is translated into thought processes, both conscious and unconscious.

    
   
   
   
 

Linguistic

          
 

Refers to the language we use to communicate with others and to ourselves.
How we use internal language directly affects our behaviour, emotions and physiology.

    
   
   
   
 

Programming

          
 

This refers to the patterns in which we think and behave.
NLP can identify these patterns or 'programmes' that we run and the types of results that they produce.

    
   
     
 

Much of NLP is centred on learning how to think and communicate more effectively, both with yourself and others.

Once you start to understand how you and other people work, this will give you greater control over how you live your life and how you interact with others.

We spend a lot of time and energy thinking about what we don't want and how to avoid things.

NLP enables you to focus on what you do want and through doing this, positive results can be achieved quickly.
