Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) & Coaching

So, what is Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)?

Neuro refers to our neurology; Linguistic refers to language; Programming refers to how neuro language functions. In other words, learning NLP is like learning the language of the mind. In NLP, there is a saying "the conscious mind is the goal setter, and the unconscious mind is the goal getter". NLP is used to enhance performance, to help individuals control their emotional state and to stay focused on what they want from life. It incorporates specific NLP strategies and techniques designed to produce specific outcomes. For example, the NLP "Fast Phobia Cure" has a different set of techniques in comparison with the NLP "Motivation Strategy". NLP allows people to have more choices about their lives.
NLP is based on several principles. Firstly, NLP argues that people are not their behaviour and that when you accept the person, you are free to change behaviour. Secondly, NLP states that people already possess every thing they need to succeed and to achieve their outcomes and that they simply need to learn how to unlock them. Thirdly, NLP is based on the notion that the success of communication is based on the response you get. As you learn to communiate better, the world will respond to you better than before. Finally, NLP is rooted in the principle that you are in change of your mind, and therefore your life.

NLP techniques provide new ways of dealing with emotional problems such as low self-esteem, anxiety, lack of confidence, destructive relationship problems (coping with a breakup) and is successful and effective when working with grief and loss counselling.
