What is NLP  and How Can it Help Me?

NLP stands for Neurolinguistic Programming. It is a communication model that was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the seventies. They created it by modeling people who were excellent and successful in their fields of therapy. Neuro has to do with the physical, mental and emotional components of our neurology. Linguistic refers to the language or words we use to communicate with ourselves (self-talk) and others. Programming deals with how our experiences, thoughts, and emotions affect our lives. Our brain, which in part houses our mind, is very much like a super-computer, that is programmed by our thoughts, emotions and experiences. They color our world and influence our values and beliefs. Our reality is created by the inner words, sounds, and pictures we see during our experiences.  

The techniques and tools of NLP are used to help overcome fears, phobias, poor self-esteem, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eliminate bad habits and reduce stress. It can increase self-awareness, emotional intelligence, productivity, self-confidence as well as improve relationships. NLP has gained great popularity and is readily used in Personal Development, Health, Business, Education, Leadership, and Therapy.

If you are feeling frustrated with traditional medicine and ready to give alternative mind-body techniques a try, NLP could be a good fit for you. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to help you determine if NLP is right for you. I have helped my patients reframe their beliefs to create powerful changes in how they see not only themselves, but the world. Giving them the tools to deal with difficulties life can throw at us, grow their career, build stronger relationships and achieve personal goals.

When you learn NLP, you learn the language of your own mind, which gives you greater control of your life. Go to the program section and learn about our upcoming training programs.
