Emotional Healing
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
A model for changing the structure of experience.
NLP explores how our neurology, language and behavioural programs interact and influence each other — a set of strategies for using the brain more systematically and generating change rapidly and ecologically.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a model for exploring and changing the structure of our experience. Neuro — how our brain and neurology function; Linguistic — verbal and nonverbal communication; Programming — the programs or patterns of behaviour, and how all three interact and influence each other.
Its early roots are the careful modelling of the work of Milton Erickson, Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir and Gregory Bateson by Dr John Grinder and Richard Bandler at UC Santa Cruz in the 1970s. NLP focuses on the relationships between language and behaviour, and among our internal processing, emotional states and physiology.
The bottom line is both a way of thinking and many powerful strategies and skills for using your brain more systematically, communicating more effectively with yourself and others, and generating change rapidly and ecologically.
A few of these strategies and skills
- Increasing sensory acuity to notice subtle changes in oneself and others.
- Asking questions to get at the deeper experience behind verbalisations.
- Noticing the specific ways we sort and process information, make decisions, form beliefs and motivate ourselves.
Dr Sundardas is a Master Practitioner and Trainer in NLP and has been using and teaching these strategies for over 15 years.
