What is NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming?

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of how each of us makes sense of our world uniquely through different personality patterns and sensory filters.

(N) Neuro – the fundamental idea is that all behaviour is the result of the information we receive from our 5 senses. We make sense of that information and act on it.

(L) Linguistic – how we understand through the use of language and other types of communication

(P) Programming - the ways we use the above to create our behaviour.

Each person’s memories, beliefs, values, decisions, favoured sense (Visual, Auditory, or Kinaesthetic), develop over time into a unique ‘model of the world’. Each of us uses this internal map to make sense of the world around us. This map has a profound effect on our thoughts and behaviour, and our relationships with others because we tend to think that our map is the same as everybody else’s.

By understanding the structure of our map we can identify negative thought patterns that inhibit us (and change them); by understanding the structure of someone else’s map we can assist them in doing the same thing, or use it to improve our relationship with them, whether in a business or personal context.

NLP can help you ‘reframe’ your way of interpreting your experiences. When used in conjunction with Cognitive Hypnotherapy you will find that Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques can help you access your unconscious mind and start to understand where certain feelings and emotions are rooted in you. This will help you to break negative belief patterns and expectations you may have about yourself and your life and help you to start focusing on successful outcomes. Together we can achieve amazing results in a short space of time...

If you accept the idea that the mind and the body communicate with one another, then the quality of the thoughts you have must impact on the stress levels within your body. If you’re thinking negatively, or view the world through a gaggle of limiting beliefs, then the body’s response to this places an unsustainable burden on the immune system, which can ultimately lead to illness and susceptibility to disease. In that respect, your thoughts create the conditions necessary for your ill health.

Releasing these negative thought patterns and replacing them with positive ones, creates the conditions necessary to rebuild your health. On its own NLP can provide a potent means for personal change. Incorporated within Cognitive Hypnotherapy I believe it provides a cutting edge approach to modern therapy that can provide positive change quickly and permanently.
