What you'll be training in.
For a deeper introduction to Neuro-Linguistic Programming as a practice tradition, see the full program page.
NLP — Neuro-Linguistic Programming — is a toolbox of language and behavioral techniques originally distilled in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder from their close study of three master therapists: Milton Erickson (hypnosis), Virginia Satir (family therapy), and Fritz Perls (Gestalt). The premise is that excellence in interpersonal change work has structure: specific patterns of language, attention, and intervention that produce reliable outcomes when applied skillfully.
What an NLP practitioner does in practice is closer to coaching than to therapy. The work is goal-directed, present-and-future-focused, and structured around specific, repeatable patterns: anchoring desired states, changing the structure of internal representations, reframing meanings, and using language patterns drawn from Erickson and Perls.
