NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming in summary is the process of recognising a behaviour and creating a pre-programmed action. I’ve found it incredibly helpful in learning where I don’t react to a situation in the best way how to react in the ideal way. I’ve also coached people on it and they’ve found it effective too so worth giving it a go if you’d like to change the way you react to certain situations. It’s also a technique that can be effective for people who struggle with mental health or anger management. Please come and talk to me if you’d like anymore information.

NLP is the practice of understanding how people organise their thinking, feeling, language and behaviour to produce the results they do. NLP provides people with a methodology to model outstanding performances achieved by geniuses and leaders in their field. NLP is also used for personal development and for success in business. A key element of NLP is that we form our unique internal mental maps of the world as a product of the way we filter and perceive information absorbed through our five senses from the world around us.

Neuro

Each individual has established their own unique mental filtering system for processing the millions of bits of data being absorbed through the senses. Our first mental map of the world is constituted of internal images, sounds, tactile awareness, internal sensations, tastes and smells that form as result of the neurological filtering process. The first mental map is called ‘First Access’ in NLP.

Linguistic

We then assign personal meaning to the information being received from the world outside. We form our second mental map by assigning language to the internal images, sounds and feelings, tastes and smells, thus forming everyday conscious awareness. The second mental map is called the Linguistic Map (sometimes known as Linguistic Representation)

Programming

The behavioural response that occurs as a result of neurological filtering processes and the subsequent linguistic map.
