NLP helps people change their behavioral cognitive emotional ‘states' so that they can alter their behaviors.
NLP looks at:
Neuro – your brain and nervous system,
Linguistic - all forms of non verbal and verbal communication including ‘self talk’,
Programming – how you have learned to behave and think.
Typically, an NLP session begins with a client identifying and describing a specific aspect of behavior he or she wishes to improve or change. The NLP practitioner will ask questions designed to help define the problem. The client then describes the ‘outcome’, or ‘solution’ to the problem that they desire. Then the NLP practitioner guides the client through a step by step process to obtain the solution. A single NLP process can take form ten minutes to two hours, and most practitioners work in forty-five to sixty-minute sessions. NLP methods work for individuals, groups, children, and adults.
NLP methods are respectful of the individual and are particularly helpful in allowing the individual to:
-
Focus on the solution, rather than the problem,
-
Focus on what can be done, rather than on why something happened
-
Access personal strengths and inner resources
-
Communicate their thought processes more coherently
