What is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP) is a new field, concerned with the processes of how we
live our lives, and our patterns of behaviour
and communication. Patterns include not only our observable actions in
the world but also our thinking processes and the organization of our
states of mind. This includes our emotions and how we use our attention
with our senses. The focus of NLP as a discipline is in finding and
creating patterns and teaching models of human excellence. Modelling is one of the key features that distinguish
NLP from psychology.
NLP studies how we know what we know. It is also a methodology for
creating practical descriptions of how we function as human beings. The
purpose of NLP is to study, describe and transfer models of human
excellence. NLP explores the relationships between how we think (neuro), how we communicate both verbally and
non-verbally (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour
and emotion (programmes) (Collingwood,
2001)”.
