NLP
What is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)?
NLP is like an “Owner’s Manual” for the brain.
Neuro
- Neuro refers to how the mind and body interact. 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 consists of internal images, sounds, tactile awareness, internal sensations, tastes and smells which result from the filtering process.
Linguistic
- Linguistic refers to the insights into a person’s thinking that can be obtained by careful attention to their use of language We allocate personal meaning to the information being received from the world outside. We form a second mental map by assigning language to the internal images, sounds and feelings, tastes and smells, thus forming everyday conscious awareness.
Programming
- The behavioural response that occurs as a result of neurological filtering processes and the subsequent linguistic map.
