Presuppositions of NLP

A set of foundational assumptions or convenient beliefs that guide NLP practice. These are not claimed to be objectively true, but are treated as useful operating principles that expand possibilities and improve outcomes. Key presuppositions include: 'The map is not the territory,' 'People have all the resources they need,' 'There is no failure, only feedback,' 'The meaning of communication is the response you get,' and 'Every behavior has a positive intention.' Internalizing these presuppositions shifts a practitioner's approach from judgment to curiosity and from problem-focus to resource-focus.
