History of NLP
12
Basic Principles of NLP

• Identify patterns in thinking, beliefs and
  behaviour choice.
• Tools to watch yourself.
• Reality is subjective personal beliefs
  perceptions.
• Connections between thoughts, perceptions
  beliefs.
• Eclectic range of theories and disciplines.
• Become conscious of how we are stuck.
• Individuals decide for themselves what their
  problems are.

13
The Map is not the Territory

• Habits built on thoughts and behaviour, by
  linking new events to old ones (those that appear
  similar). Then react in same way.
• Trouble dissociating the link between that
  stimulus automatic reaction.
• NLP helps to become conscious of that link then
  reprogram your reactions to something more
  appropriate.
• The map is not the territory - confusing a
  representation, abstraction or reaction to a
  thing, with the thing itself. E.g., Restaurant
  menu.
