Neuro Linguistic Psychology or Programming (NLP)
Neuro Linguistic Programming was developed in the 1970's by John Grinder and Richard Bandler following research into the key methods used by expert therapists to generate change. The result was a philosophy for use by therapists and a wide variety of rapid techniques for the treatment of psychological conditions.
In the context of modern psychotherapy NLP tends to be interwoven into the therapy process and is seamlessly integrated into hypnotherapy, EMDR and hypno CBT techniques during treatments. This approach tends to generate faster and more permanent forms of psychological change. NLP can also be used as a stand-alone therapy in its won right.
A few of the uses of NLP techniques are listed below:
- Mood change including motivation, anger management and positivity
- Phobia and fear treatment
- Negative thinking, internal dialogue control and thought stopping
- Pain control and management
- Addiction treatment and habit removal
