I’m sure some of you are still in cases with NLP, so let’s discuss what is NLP and how does NLP work
Proponents of NLP assume all human action is positive. Therefore, if a plan fails or the unexpected happens.
How does NLP work?
The experience is neither good nor bad—it simply presents more useful information.
Neuro-linguistic programming is a way of changing someone’s thoughts and behaviors to help achieve desired outcomes for them.
NLP uses include treatment of phobias and anxiety disorders and improvement of workplace performance or personal happiness.
This article will explore how does NLP works.
What is
NLP uses perceptual, behavioral, and communication techniques to make it easier for people to change their thoughts and actions. NLP relies on language processing but should not be confused with natural language processing, which shares the same acronym.
Despite a lack of empirical evidence to support it, Bandler and Grinder published two books, The Structure of Magic I and II, and NLP took off. Its popularity was partly due to its versatility in addressing the many diverse issues that people face.
How does NLP work
Modeling, action, and effective communication are key elements of neuro-linguistic programming. The belief is that if an individual can understand how another person accomplishes a task, the process may be copied and communicated to others so they too can accomplish the task.
Proponents of neuro-linguistic programming propose that everyone has a personal map of reality. Those who practice NLP analyze their own and other perspectives to create a systematic overview of one situation.
By understanding a range of perspectives, the NLP user gains information.
Advocates of this school of thought believe the senses are vital for processing available information and that the body and mind influence each other.
Neuro-linguistic programming is an experiential approach. Therefore, if a person wants to understand an action, they must perform that same action to learn from the experience.
NLP practitioners believe there are natural hierarchies of learning, communication, and change. The six logical levels of change are:
1. Purpose and spirituality: This can be involved in something larger than oneself, such as religion, ethics, or another system. This is the highest level of change.
2. Identity: Identity is the person you perceive yourself to be and includes your responsibilities and the roles you play in life.
3. Beliefs and values: These are your personal belief system and the issues that matter to you.
4. Capabilities and skills: These are your abilities and what you can do.
5. Behaviors: Behaviors are the specific actions you perform.
Environment
Your environment is your context or setting, including any other people around you. This is the lowest level of change.
The purpose of each logical level is to organize and direct the information below it. As a result, making a change at a lower level may cause changes at a higher level. However, making a change at a higher level will also result in changes in the lower levels, according to NLP theory.
The varying interpretations of NLP make it hard to define. It is founded on the idea that people operate by internal “maps” of the world that they learn through sensory experiences.
NLP tries to detect and modify unconscious biases or limitations of an individual’s map of the world.
NLP is not hypnotherapy. Instead, it operates through the conscious use of language to bring about changes in someone’s thoughts and behavior.
For example, a central feature of NLP is the idea that a person is biased towards one sensory system, known as the preferred representational system or PRS.
Therapists can detect this preference through language. Phrases such as “I see your point” may signal a visual PRS. Or “I hear your point” may signal an auditory PRS.
An NLP practitioner will identify a person’s PRS and base their therapeutic framework around it. The framework could involve rapport-building, information-gathering, and goal-setting with them.
So Does NLP Work?
Determining the effectiveness of NLP is challenging for several reasons.
NLP has not been subject to the same standard of scientific rigor as more established therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or CBT.
Some studies have found benefits associated with NLP. For example, a study published in the journal Counselling and Psychotherapy Research found psychotherapy patients had improved psychological symptoms and life quality after having NLP compared to a control group.
It concluded there was little evidence for the effectiveness of NLP in treating health-related conditions, including anxiety disorders, weight management, and substance misuse.
This was due to the limited amount and quality of the available research studies, rather than evidence that showed NLP did not work.
