NLP Presuppositions: An Introduction

CreateChange, nlp articles

NLP, or neurolinguistic programming, focuses on how your thoughts, actions and feelings work together right now to produce your experience. On the other hand, traditional clinical psychologists set out to describe difficulties, then categorising them and search for historical causes.

If you compare the two, clinical psychology starts with the question of “what’s wrong?” NLP, however, accepts the mind being alright, only the way it’s being used – consciously or otherwise – may be impairing.

By now, it’s probably clear that NLP is based on principles that are distinct from traditional psychology. The foundations of NLP rests in what are known collectively as Presuppositions of NLP.

All the 10 Presuppositions which you will be able to discover as the weeks progress can be summarised into one: people work perfectly.

What we do – our thoughts and actions – combined with what we feel produce specific results. Repeat the pattern all over again, you will get the same results.

Take, for example, you waking up in the morning. You want to wake up an hour earlier from before. However, you did not set the alarm nor did you change your sleeping pattern. Can you predict what the results of that will be?

You’ll wake up at the same time as before. The process works perfectly.

So, if you want to change the results, you need to change your thoughts, actions and feelings.

After you’ve understood specifically how you create and maintain your inner thoughts and feelings, changing them with something more useful becomes easy and effortless!

And the NLP Presuppositions are the foundations to achieve exactly that!
