NLP may be the most powerful vehicle for change in existence.

Aye, NLP, or Neurolinguistic programming/psychology, is one powerful tool! During the Certification training, over and over again Dr. Horton repeats of how incredible this tool is. Wouldn’t you want to know about NLP?
The term NLP itself was coined by an Alfred Habdank Skarbek Korzybski.
To different people, NLP brings different meaning. Practitioners can joke that it’s messing with people’s mind. Others would say is a methodology to change the behaviour of a person from the inside to achieve success. Don’t be surprised if some NLP Practitioners say that NLP is ‘wake hypnosis’.
However your practitioner may refer to NLP, it is effectively an integration of several disciplines including neurology, psychology, linguistics, cybernetics, and systems theory. The components of Korybski’s term can be broken down to:
- Neuro – As our experience, conscious and subconscious, comes through our senses and central nervous system;
- Linguistic – Our mental process are all coded, organized, given meaning and transformed through our respective languages.
- Programming – People, you and I, live our lives through a system composed of sequences of patterns, or ‘programs’.
The deeper you go into NLP, the more you realise that the key any success you want lies within you, through the way you perceive life. Your perception, beliefs, attitude, emotions and behaviours will direct yourself with the tools around you to achieve your goal.
As powerful as NLP may be, it is not substitute to professional and licensed medical attention. Similar to other alternative and complimentary therapies, there are no absolute guarantees. Reassurance comes within reason.
Application of NLP really extends beyond therapy. You’ll be amazed by what you can achieve with it! Even when applied as therapy, we’re really teaching you how to use your brain.
How will you find me applying NLP?
I constantly study excellence and then share the skills that promotes positive change that generates new possibilities and opportunities. If you find yourself ‘clicking’ with me and you feel better about yourself, you can suspect I just used my NLP knowhow on you. ;-) And what is wrong with leaving you in a better state?
