Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, provides practical ways in which you can change the way that you think, view past events, and approach your life. Neuro-Linguistic Programming shows you how to take control of your mind, and therefore your life.
Lets break down the word :
- Neuro – To do with the brain and the there neurological systems in the body. It is about how you process information and experience the world.
- Linguistic – Language. But NLP is not just about language, it is also about processing information, by using our five senses, gut instinct and intuition.
- Programming – NLP won’t “programme” you, don’t worry. It gives you tools to replace negative behaviours with something that’s more in line with who you are.
Where & How did it Originate?
- NLP formally began in California in the 1970’s and was founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder.
- Bandler was interested in why some therapists were more effective than others, and transcribed sessions conducted by two leading therapists in his search for clues as to what made them so successful.
- Grinder helped Bandler analyse these transcripts by using his expertise in linguistics. Between them, they spotted a specific set of patterns, and as a result NLP as we now know was born.

“Doing NLP on yourself is like playing tennis alone. You can do it, but it’s very slow.” The Problem Is That You Can’t Be In Two Places At Once. You can’t be in your head, having the feelings that create the state you want to work with, and at the same time be outside of yourself, analyzing what might be going on. Try checking some online courses on NLP.

Practitioners have applied NLP commercially to achieve work-orientated goals, such as improved productivity or job progression. More widely, it has been applied as a therapy for psychological disorders, including phobias, depression, generalized anxiety disorders or GAD, and post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. I will write more about it after research.
