Most people have never even heard of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). 

​

NLP is considered to be the science of excellence. 

 

Co-created by Dr Richard Bandler and Dr John Grinder in the 1970's,  NLP provides a tool box of techniques to understand how we think and to change the structure of thoughts to be able to live a more fulfilling life. 

​

Neuro refers to the processes of how we perceive and interpret information through our senses.

​

Linguistics refers to how we use internal (inner self talk) and external communication (interaction) to reinforce how we interpret the information that we are perceiving.

​

Programming refers to how we unconsciously process this information. 

 

For example:  Think of a purple elephant. 

 

NLP is more interested in how do you know that you are thinking of a purple elephant rather than what the elephant actually looks like.  The same is true for trauma.  NLP is more interested in how you are processing that trauma rather than the trauma itself.  How do you know you are thinking the thought?

​

Therefore NLP can often be without any content or the story that is never ending self talk and visualisation that ultimately leads to unwanted feelings.
