NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
Fundamentally NLP is the study of how we respond to our experience of reality. Working on the basis that our experience and response to the world is determined by our five senses and how we represent this within our mind, through our processes of neurology, language and developed patterns (programs).
Using the technology of NLP, it is possible to notice and develop our patterns of thinking. Individuals can be guided and coached to replace unwanted thoughts and feelings with something more positive. Ultimately providing greater control and positivity in their lives.
