Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) harnesses the power of language to break down the mental barriers we unknowingly create for ourselves. As a qualified Master Practitioner and Coach I can use this technique in our coaching together to help you realise that the only thing holding you back in life is yourself. On this page, we answer your questions about NLP, including how it works, and what it can help with.
“Neuro” meaning nerve, refers to the way we gather information from the outside world, using our five senses. “Linguistic” is the study of language, referring to the way we make sense of said information by organising it into the structure of language. Finally, “programming” is our way of controlling something. This refers to how we interpret the world and how we control our daily actions, choices and behaviours.
NLP is considered to be one of the most useful and accessible tools to come from modern psychology and can assist with:
• stress management
• improving feelings of empathy
• improving communication skills
• resolving destructive Relationship patterns
NLP teaches us how changing the way we perceive the world can lead us to adjust and adapt our behaviours in order to live the life we dream of. An NLP practitioner will encourage clients to transform limiting self-beliefs and move out of their comfort zones. Breaking barriers and taking chances only helps to develop a fuller, happier and infinitely more satisfying life.
While NLP is a vast and complex practice, the fundamental ideas behind it can be broken down into three parts - subjectivity, maps and language.
People communicate feelings in different ways. Most of these feelings are actually communicated unconsciously, be it through tone, volume, pace, facial expressions, body language and words.
NLP practitioners are trained to recognise these subtle, unconscious clues so that they can understand how their client is feeling. A practitioner can identify the self-imposed restrictions the clients have put on themselves by unveiling the client’s mental map and working with them to move forward.
The three most common types of limiting beliefs include:
It’s easy for people to set themselves up for failure if they are constantly thinking negative thoughts. Beliefs such as, “I’m not good enough” or “other people are better than me” can limit experience and the chance of accomplishment.
