What is NLP. Neuro Linguistic Programming
Maybe you've heard of it , but do you know what it can do for you? It may be your answer to traditional therapy that hasn't gotten you what you want out of life. It may be your answer to figuring out how to finally make the change you want.
Have you ever listened to someone tell the story of something that you also witnessed... and they had a different view point than yours? Have you ever argued with someone over a past conversation or event and they seem just as adamant they're memory is right? Annoying right !
Our brain takes in thousands of pieces of information in a minute. We filter what we consciously see and hear and notice based on our personal filtering system. And further still our analysis of the event is created from our beliefs and values and past experiences. The expression " there's always two sides" is absolutely true... or is it. :)
What NLP does is become the way in which we learn to run the operating systems of our brains. Our brains are the planets most amazing and powerful computers. Now imagine if you owned the worlds greatest computer, now also imagine 20 plus year old AOL software installed on it (those under age 35 can google that reference ) and now think of how painfully crappy it would be to use on your state of the art computer. So would you take your state of the art computer in to get torn down and built back up to make it's use better with the old software? Would you repeat this tear down process for years, going over and over all the many reasons (why) you're still using old software? Of course not, you'd stop using the out dated, non productive old program that doesn't serve you anymore. NLP is brain software in that it allows you the user, or your practitioner, a way of making the functions of your brain work they way you want them to, to get you the results that work. Anyone else used those AOL disks as coasters
NLP , is the overall presupposition that behaviour has a structure to it, and that we can manage our brains, our brains work faster than we think. The structure of the behaviours we have can be modeled, learned and taught and CHANGED, or re-programmed. The way in which we know what will be useful and effective is determined by the skills your NLP practitioner has in listening to the structure of your thoughts , done through conversation, to determine what course to take in making the changes YOU want.
Now think of something you do, or think , or feel... that doesn't serve you anymore and you would like to change. Imagine being able to choose a different result. That is real freedom right! Do you procrastinate, do you suffer from anxiety, is there a behaviour you want gone? Do you have a phobia that no one else has been able to get rid of? Or maybe there's something you want to achieve, something you want to get even better at! Or perhaps someone you know is stuck on an old train of thought and wants to catch a new train.
You did it! Now you know what NLP is!
Oh the choices now... just think.
