Podcast - NLP Matters

In the current season of NLP Matters, we have been talking about the NLP Model of Communication. This model encapsulates and integrates our physiological, psychological, and cognitive functioning as it explains how humans collect and process information through our 5 senses to make meaning and create our own map of reality.

In the last episode, we discussed the totally fascinating functioning of our 7 unconscious filters. Starting with– Time/Space/Matter/Energy, Language, and Memories. In this …

As we continue our exploration of the workings of the human mind, we can see why learning the NLP Model of Communication can assist us to apply our knowledge to create change, growth, and new behaviours. 

In this episode, we’ll begin to look at the unconscious filters which sift through the incoming sensory data we experience as we continually construct our reality and our relationships with others.

In the NLP Model of Communication there are seven unconscious filters that are key to how we as…

We are now well on our way into our investigation into what NLP has to say about the totally fascinating workings of the human mind, and why this is important to how we think, behave and go about constructing our reality and our relationships with others. 

In this episode, we’ll look at the role of our ‘states’ or emotions. 

Over the past few episodes, we've been talking about the ways in which our senses and our mind combine to construct our version of reality. So where do our internal feelin…

In the past two episodes, we have begun exploring what NLP has to say about the fascinating workings of the human mind. Learning about how our minds work reveals the structure that underpins how we think, behave, and construct our relationships with others. It means we can discover how we create our reality. 

In this episode, we’ll discuss the processes that enable us to selectively filter the information or data that we then use to construct our own experience of reality. We will focus on 3 ke…

In our last episode, we discussed how as humans, we use our senses and neurology to construct an internal version of an external reality. We also said that by definition each of these “internal representations” or “maps” are different and unique. 

As humans, there’s a lot of information available to us in the external environment moment to moment. So much that it’s physically impossible for our senses to take all this information in, and because we cannot process the sheer volume of informa…

In this episode, we begin another season of the NLP Matters Podcast and start to delve into the totally fascinating workings of the human mind from the perspective of NLP. We’ll be examining things like what NLP has to say about consciousness, the nature of reality, thinking, and communication. We’ll start that conversation by looking at the NLP Model of Communication and the Role of the Senses in Perception.

The Presuppositions of NLP provide us with a kind of code of conduct or compass that guides us as we use and apply powerful NLP techniques. Together, they form the ecological framework that ensures that the practice of NLP is constructive and expansive.

In this episode, we’ll review these presuppositions and discover how when looked at as a whole, we have a really solid framework not only for how we use NLP but for our living our lives in general.

In this episode, we’ll delve deeper into the final three NLP Presuppositions - that all procedures should increase wholeness, that all procedures should be designed to increase choice, and that behaviour and change should be evaluated in terms of context and ecology.

Much like other NLP presupps such as people are doing the best they can with the resources they’ve got, and we all have everything within us when we need to make the changes we want in our life, the presupps we are looking at i…

As you follow these podcasts, one of the pictures you will be starting to form about NLP is its expansive nature. As we apply NLP in our lives, we get to expand our notion of what is possible for humans to achieve. 

In NLP, we emphasise ways of being, thinking, and doing, that increase growth, choice, possibility, personal responsibility, and ultimately, personal power. Together, they can be seen as the characteristics of what Carol Dweck a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University cal…

Last week, we explored three NLP presuppositions that focus on acknowledging and accepting our personal power through redefining our responsibility as communicators.

This time, we’ll delve deeper into two more NLP Presuppositions that really challenge us to see the world from a different perspective  - that people are not their behaviours, and that everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have available.

In NLP, we describe this as taking up different perceptual positi…
