Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP)
Neuro:
The way our brains and nervous system work.
Linguistic: The way we communicate, both to others (verbally
and non-verbally) and ourselves (out loud and inside our heads).
Programming: A methodical and systematic
way of coding our skills and knowledge, and replicating the
skills of others.
This
section will outline how NLP can be used to improve various
areas of your life. If you have not been exposed to NLP, you
might find the wealth of areas and ways in which NLP can be
used to be much wider than you imagined.
NLP
is concerned primarily with identifying the ways in which we
have been "programmed" to think, act, feel and learning
how to free ourselves from unwanted limiting habits and beliefs.
NLP
can be used to enhance many areas of your life.
- Arts and Creative Skills
- Career
- Education, Learning and Training
- Finances
- Health
- Mental Models
- Personal Development
- Relationships
- Therapy
Sub
modalities
These are the sensory qualities which can help to define the
perceptions we are having - visual sub modalities include
brightness, colour, shape, size. Auditory sub modalities include
volume, pitch, tembre, tempo. Kinesthetic sub modalities include
temperature, pressure, texture. Sub modalities are used in
a large number of techniques in NLP - by changing the sub
modalities of a memory or thought, we can change the effect
they have on us.
Reframing
This is a term used to indicate where a problematic behavior
or belief is transposed from a problem to a benefit, by realizing
that the problem can have a positive intention or another
meaning. For example, a behavior which causes a problem currently
might be greatly advantageous over the long-term; it might
be problematic in one context, but beneficial in another;
the behavior itself might be a problem, but it might achieve
some end result which is beneficial (known as a positive outcome).
If this 'reframe' itself does not remove the problem, then
it can be used as a starting point for appropriate change
which will generate new options for the individual. An alternative
behavior could be learned which maintains the positive intention,
without the problematic behavior, or which keeps the long-term
benefits without the short-term problems.
Representational
System
This is a term for one of the five senses: sight, smell, hearing,
taste, and touch (visual, olfactory, auditory, gustatory, and
kinesthetic).
Parts
This is a metaphor for the idea that there are different intentions,
values, goals, and behaviors within ourselves, organized towards
specific ends. By utilizing this idea, where 'a part of me'
wants X, but 'another part of me' wants Y, it becomes possible
to resolve internal conflict, and user techniques to help the
'parts' achieve their outcomes or intentions using new behaviors,
thus removing problematic behaviors and providing the individual
with new choices.
