History of NLP

History of NLP

NLP was initially created in the 1970’s by Richard Bandler a student of mathmatics and Gestalt Therapy and John Grinder, a Professor of Liguistics at The University of California Santa Cruz. They began modeling and duplicating the "magical results" of a few top communicators and therapists, such as Hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, Gestalt Therapist Fritz Perls and Family Therapy pioneer Virginia Satir. Since then, many others have contributed to the growth and development of the field.


This is a short list summarizing some of the thinking behind NLP:

  • People are not their behaviors. Accept the person; change the behavior
  • People have all the resources they need to succeed and achieve their desired outcomes
  • The meaning of the communication is the response you get
  • Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have available
  • We are in charge of our minds and therefore our results
  • There is no failure, only feedback

 

NLP beliefs are:

  • YOU already have all the resources you need to succeed
  • YOU are in charge of your mind and therefore YOUR results
  • YOU are not your behaviour, you ARE much more than that
  • YOUR behaviour is motivated by a positive intent
