NLP is a Practical form of Psychology

NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

The very best definition (IMHO) is from the movie “The Living Matrix” (outstanding movie btw) and it says,
“NLP is a practical form of Psychology
which starts from where you are now
and looks at where you want to be
and uncovers what’s in the way.”
It’s a simplistic & general definition but since NLP is so vast and encompassing I feel this definition is perfectly simple.

Neuro, Linguistic & Programming – Defined.

Neuro: in this context means “Brain” but definitions say, “nerve, nerves, or the nervous system.”
Linguistic: means “of or relating to language or linguistics.”  In this context linguistic more specifically means “any form of communication.”
Programming: means “the designing, scheduling, or planning of a program” or  “creating a sequence of instructions.”

The Oxford English Dictionary says:

“neurolinguistic programming n. a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behaviour and the subjective experiences (esp. patterns of thought) underlying them; a system of alternative therapy based on this which seeks to educate people in self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behaviour.” (i)

So In Conclusion, NLP Is…

“NLP is a communication to and from the brain of an individual which reveals “what is”. Then a trained NLP practitioner can use any of more than 200+ different processes (programs) to evoke the desired result in that individual.”
I’ve personally experienced numerous transformations due to NLP, both in others and in myself… and all by only using some form of communication. Simply astonishing, in my opinion!

What is Clean Language?

“Clean Language is a communications methodology, developed by David J Grove, a New Zealand Counselling Psychologist, during the 1980s and 1990s. While initially used in clinical therapy, Clean Language offers helpful techniques to all professional communicators, especially those working closely with others. Clean Language techniques are aligned closely with modern enabling principles of empathy, and understanding, as opposed to traditional manipulative conscious or unconscious methods of influence and persuasion and the projection of self-interest. Clean Language helps people to convey their own meaning, free of emotional or other distracting interpretation from others. As such Clean Language promotes better clarity of communications, neutrality and objectivity absence of emotional spin, bias and prejudice, ease of understanding, and cooperative productive relationships.” ~ from http://www.businessballs.com/clean_language.htm.

The basic clean language questions (established by David Grove)

In these questions, X and Y represent the person’s words (or non-verbals)

Developing Questions

“(And) what kind of X (is that X)?”

“(And) is there anything else about X?”

“(And) where is X? or (And) whereabouts is X?”

“(And) that’s X like what?”

“(And) is there a relationship between X and Y?”

“(And) when X, what happens to Y?”

Sequence and Source Questions

“(And) then what happens? or (And) what happens next?”

” (And) what happens just before X?”

“(And) where could X come from?”

Intention Questions

“(And) what would X like to have happen?”

“(And) what needs to happen for X?”

“(And) can X (happen)?”

The first two questions: “What kind of X (is that X)?” and “Is there anything else about X?” are the most commonly used.

As a general guide, these two questions account for around 50% of the questions asked in a typical Clean Language session.

Seeking the assistance of hypnotherapists has long been one of the best kept secrets of high achievers and the most successful people; including doctors, lawyers, business professionals, top entertainers and sports stars.
