Description of NLP
• Neuro: related to the connections our mind uses to process
reality.
• Linguistic related to the verbal & non-verbal language we
use to communicate.
People use language in thoughts, as well as in speech, to represent the
world to themselves and to embody their beliefs about world and about
life (Seebacher, 2012).
• Programming: the way we organize our ideas and actions
are programmed in a sort of automatic way.
Origins of NLP
• NLP emerged in the 1970s in California.
John Grinder and Richard Bandler came up with a set of principles
that claimed that language and mind can be programed in such way
that they have an impact in the body and behavior of an individual.
