What is NLP?

Neuro Linguistic Programing (NLP) is the primary modality we use in our sessions. It is one of the most powerful tools to instigate change and healing. NLP was used and still in use to treat more than eight hundred 9/11 survivors to change the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and proven to be more effective and rapid than any other treatments. It is also described as the “tool of replicating talents” to actualise our potentials and create success in life.

NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. In a nut shell - what we believe, think, feel and other internal processes (either aware consciously or unconsciously), is communicated through verbal and non verbal behaviours, in a sequential manner.

NLP studies how our brain code learning and experiences in our life — our internal map of the world. We demonstrate our unique mental map in the way we think, feel, communicate (language) and behave.

NLP was developed in the 1970’s by Dr John Grinder and Richard Bandler. They studied some of the most exceptional therapists at the time and many other successful individuals in their perspective areas of expertise, aiming to find the secret of these people’s success. What they had identified was a series of behavioural patterns that can be modelled or replicated to produce similar if not the same kind of result as these exceptional individuals.

Therapy, Coaching and Counseling - The NLP Way

As a form of Brief psychotherapy, in NLP therapy, therapist and client co-create a resolution by working together and establishing desired outcomes as well as methods for gauging and measuring movement towards such. In this approach, the therapist does not adopt the expert role, but rather the role of facilitator and coach. The client fully participates in the process and owns it. This avoids most of the “resistance” issues that plagues other approaches.

This inter-active style also involves the therapist playing an active and director role, rather than a passive one. Once the client has identified his or her desired outcome, the therapist assists the client in moving toward the solution state. Therapy itself becomes a matter of structuring, a question about how to bridge from present state to solution state. Questions about resources and processes become increasingly important. Brief psychotherapy using NLP is effective, efficient and totally holistic.

NLPTRB Registered NLP Master Practitioner and Practitioner, Behavioural, Emotional Release and Alignment Therapist. The map is not the territory. Behind every behavior there is a positive intention. Even a seemingly negative thought or behavior has a positive function at some level or in some other context. There is no failure, only feedback. The meaning of the communication is the response it produces, not the intended communication. One cannot not communicate - Every behaviour is a kind of communication. Because behaviour does not have a counterpart (there is no anti-behaviour), it is not possible not to communicate. Choice is better than no choice. An idea from cybernetics that holds the most flexible element in a system will have the most influence or choice in that system. People already have all the internal resources they need to succeed.
