Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)

‘Neuro-linguistic programming’ (NLP) is based on the concept that with our senses we are only able to perceive a small part of the world, and that our view of the world is filtered by our experiences, beliefs, values, assumptions, and biological sensory systems. We act and feel based on our perception of the world, rather than the real world. NLP teaches us that language and behaviours (whether functional or dysfunctional) are highly structured, and that this structure can be 'modelled' or copied into a reproducible form. Using NLP, a person can 'model' the more successful parts of their own behaviour in order to reproduce these in areas where they are less successful. We can also 'model' another person’s successful behaviours to create positive changes our own beliefs and behaviours. If someone excels at a particular activity, how they do this can be learnt by closely observing certain important details of their behaviour and, where possible, by also understanding their thought processes when preparing for, and undertaking, this activity. These patterns of thinking and behaving can then be replicated (‘modelled’) using NLP techniques to help you improve your own performance. As a discipline, NLP is often described as a 'toolbox' of ideas which has borrowed heavily from other fields in collating its presuppositions and other mind programming techniques. NLP embodies several techniques, including hypnotic suggestion techniques, which proponents claim can affect changes in the way people think, learn and communicate. [SCROLL DOWN] NLP calls each individual's perception of the world their 'map', and teaches that our mind (neuro) and what we say (linguistic) interact together to form our perceptions of the world, or our ‘maps’ (programming). NLP’s fundamental approach to personal development or personal therapy states that that people create their own internal 'map' or world. Each person's map of the world is unique and will determine their feelings and behaviours. It follows that negative, impoverished or unrealistic ‘maps’ create misunderstandings in an individual’s thinking that can restrict their choices and result in poor outcomes. By recognizing an individual’s unhelpful or destructive patterns of thinking, or any misunderstanding they may have, based on poor or inadequate maps of their world, we can then, with permission, help them modify or replace these patterns with more useful or helpful ones. NLP gives us a number of ways in which we can change internal representations or maps in order to increase authentic, rational behavioural flexibility – with the ultimate goal of creating a happier and more successful individual, in what ever it is they may strive to achieve. David Lees combines Traditional Chinese Medicine and more modern techniques such as NLP, to give patient treatment plans a uniqueness that can be tailored to their specific requirements, in order to bring about more positive and lasting results for the client.
