Neuro Linguistic Programming

NLP is the study of excellence, which describes how our thinking produces our behavior, and allows us to model the excellence and to reproduce that behavior. Developed in the early 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder at the University of California, Santa Cruz, NLP was created by modeling exceptional therapists including Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, and Fritz Perls. The name reflects its three core components: Neuro (the neurological processes of thought and perception), Linguistic (the language patterns that shape experience), and Programming (the behavioral patterns that can be identified, modeled, and changed).
