Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that involves understanding the dynamics between the mind (neuro), language (linguistic) and behavior (programming). NLP was developed by Richard Bandler, a mathematician and John Grinder, a linguist as a model of interpersonal communication and personal development in1970s.
NLP operates on the premise that our subjective experiences are influenced by our perception of the world and that by understanding the patterns and connections between our thoughts, language and behaviors, we can achieve specific goals and improve our overall well-being. Some of the key principles and techniques associated with NLP are:
- Anchoring: Creating associations between specific stimuli and emotional states to help manage emotions and behaviors.
- Reframing: Looking at situations from different perspectives to alter the meaning or interpretation of experiences.
- Modeling: Identifying and replicating the patterns of successful behaviors and strategies of others to achieve desired outcomes.
- Sensory Acuity: Developing awareness of non-verbal cues and subtle changes in behavior to enhance communication and understanding.
- Meta-Modeling: Analyzing language patterns to identify and challenge limiting beliefs and assumptions thereby promoting clearer and more effective communication.
NLP is employed as a tool for self-improvement, enhancing communication skills, overcoming phobias & limiting beliefs and achieving personal & professional goals.
