NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Many consulting hypnotists and hypnotherapists have been trained in NLP techniques along with hypnosis. Richard Bandler and John Grinder are the Co-Creators of NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

NLP is about learning to learn the way your brain learns rather than the way you've been taught to learn. It's about learning to move quickly beyond limitations. It's about making your mind up, rather than your mind making up you. NLP will help you get what you want out of life.

We experience our problems, desires, feelings, beliefs and future outcomes as they are represented in visual, auditory (hearing), kinesthetic (touching and feeling) and sometimes gustatory (smell) and olfactory (taste) systems. When communicating with someone, rather than just listening to and responding to what a person said, NLP aims to also respond to the structure of verbal communication and non-verbal cues.

The physical, mental and emotional state someone is in when setting a goal or choosing a course of action is also considered important in the study of NLP. Certain language patterns of NLP can help clarify what has been left out or distorted in communication. NLP also helps us to be very specific in our thinking, reframe the meaning of our beliefs, and set sensory specific goals, which all help you get what you want out of life. This is the opposite of many language patterns that hypnotists use which are intentionally non-specific and metaphoric to allow the listener to fill in the gaps and make their own meaning from what is being said and find their own inner resources and solutions for problems.

Bandler says NLP was originally intended to be used to create more love and freedom for every human being on the planet. NLP is about creating choice in your life ... so that you can learn to do new things for yourself ... different things ... beyond the edges of what you thought possible before.

NLP is about freedom. These techniques can change your entire life for the better.
