SOME
SUPPOSITIONS OF NLP
People
make the best choices they can at any given moment, given
their present model of their world?
"Human
beings have a peculiar trait; if they find something they do
doesn't work, they do it again!"
"If
what you're doing isn't working, do something
different."
"The
meaning of any communication is the response that you get. If
you're not getting the response, change what you're
doing.
In any
system, including human ones, the element with the widest
range of variability will be the one that determines the
outcome."
Keep
asking
How
are you doing that?
How do
you know?
How
can you clearly understand the patient's model of the world,
and how it got to be that way."
"Process is more important than content.
If you alter the content, change takes for
ever."
"Problems have much more to do with
process, with the way experience is organised and structured.
If you can change the organising process, you can change
outcome more easily, more quickly and more enduringly. Therapy
means change."
"To be
a good communicator, you need 3 things.
First,
to know what outcome you want?
Second, you need maximum flexibility in
your own behaviour.
Third,
you need to be able to notice, fully and accurately, the
responses you are getting?
"Somewhere inside most people are the
resources they need to overcome most problems. Therapy locates
and then re-locates them."
"Match, link, lead.
