How does it work?

According to neuro-linguistic programming thought, people use internal maps to understand the world and to interact with it. These maps are formed through sensory experiences throughout life. NLP techniques are used to identify and change unconscious limitations or biases that are contained in a person’s internal map.

NLP works through using language in a conscious way to initiate changes in a person’s behavior and thoughts. One of the central tenets of NLP is that people are biased towards a particular sensory system. This is called the preferred representational system.

Life coaches who use NLP techniques are able to identify this preference through the language choices of their clients. For example, someone who says something such as “I hear what you are saying” may have an auditory PRS. Practitioners of NLP identify the PRS of individual people and establish a therapeutic approach around it. The approach might include goal-setting, information-gathering, and rapport-building.

NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING

NLP is a system of communication, perceptual, and behavioral techniques that enable people to change their actions and thoughts. It relies on language processing and was developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. Grinder and Bandler believed that it was possible to pinpoint the behaviors and thought patterns of people who are successful and then to teach them to other people.

Grinder and Bandler wrote two books called The Structure of Magic I and II. These books helped to popularize NLP. NLP is recognized for its versatility in being able to address the myriad issues faced by people.
