Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) focuses on how we learn, communicate, change, grow, and heal. It assists people in detecting and re-programming unconscious thoughts and behavior patterns, so that psychological responses may be altered and the healing process enhanced.   NLP is composed of three aspects. The first aspect, or “neuro” aspect, understands that all human behavior is driven by neurological processes, which include the five senses. All human beings experience the world directly through their five senses. Humans then use language to communicate their experiences and thoughts, which in turn makes up the “linguistic” part. Lastly, the “programming” aspect of NLP recognizes that each individual chooses to organize his or her actions and ideas in a way that is unique to that individual.     In essence then, “neuro” refers to the way the brain works and how human thinking demonstrates consistent and detectable patterns. “Linguistic” refers to the verbal and nonverbal expression of the brain’s thinking patterns. “Programming” refers to how these patterns are recognized and understood by the mind and how they can be neurologically altered, allowing a person to make better choices in behavior and health.     NLP Can Help You With:   ·       Eliminating fears and phobias ·       Generating new behaviors ·       Building self-confidence ·       Developing self-appreciation ·       Eliminating compulsions ·       Changing personal history ·       Re-parenting ·       Creating automatic success     Case Examples   A middle aged male client suffered from a fear of flying, which created limitations for him in his profession. Through Neuro-Linguistic Programming, he was able to totally overcome his phobia. In addition, we installed an “anchor” for the future, enabling him to utilize the anchor any time he wished to feel calm and in control in any given situation, a feeling specifically chosen by the client. The client reported being able to fly anywhere thereafter without any difficulty.   A young female wanted to improve her performance in her chosen sport.  Through various programming, the client was able to access the feeling of being in control of her performance.  We also improved her self-confidence and installed an “anchor” to allow her to access this feeling of being in the zone before any game.  The client happily reported successful long-term improvement in her sport.
