NEURO-LINGUISTIC
PROGRAMMING (NLP)
Developed in the 1970's
in the USA
by Richard Bandler
and John Grinder, NLP is best described as the study of human excellence.
Insights have provided a set of techniques and tools that
can enable us to improve how we communicate with ourselves and others, how we
feel, think and behave in our personal and professional lives.
I trained to NLP Master Practitioner level in order to
complement my Holistic practice and to make it just that – whole. I believe very much that what goes on in the
mind manifests and affects what goes on in the body, so by beginning to
understand thought processes, beliefs, emotions and how they can limit us and
our bodies, we can aim to get to the root of what is going on for an individual
and then look at how best they can move themselves forward.
Sometimes, working with Reiki and Massage can for example
assist the surfacing of emotions for a person receiving the treatment. Whilst I respect this healing taking place, I
am able to provide further support to the recipient (if they wish), with my knowledge
of NLP and this can be really effective on a cognitive level.
Working with NLP has provided me with the opportunity of Consulting
to Forward to Work – a motivational course being run in the town I was born and
grew up, Barrow-in-Furness. 80% of course attendees gained employment or
retraining whilst I was working on this programme – a
great success for me and my work, but more importantly wonderful results for
the individuals who attended and contributed fantastically, with such openness,
bravery and humour – it was a real pleasure and honour to work with them.
