3 Common Misconceptions about NLP
Welcome to another episode of Creating Change with Emma Bradford!
EPISODE 49: During this episode, you’ll learn about three common misconceptions about NLP. Sometimes, there are misunderstandings about NLP and it can be labeled incorrectly. Today, I share a broad definition of NLP, different ways that it is used, the true essence of NLP, and break down three common misconceptions about NLP.
What is NLP?
[02:15] NLP stands for Neuro-linguistic programming. It’s all to do with the unconscious filters in your mind (beliefs, values and metaprograms),
linguistics (how we talk to ourselves / others) and programming (tools and techniques in NLP that can program the unconscious mind).
[06:10] NLP is often used in politics, business, breakthrough coaching and peak performance coaching.
[07:41] You can also use NLP to heal the inner child, overcome challenges from the past, any self-sabotaging behavior and fall back in love with yourself.
Three Misconceptions about NLP
[10:52] One common misconception about NLP is that it is manipulative because it is used in sales and politics, but it’s not NLP itself. It’s dependent on the individual and how they use it.
[12:57] Coaching. There is so much more to NLP and many therapists, professionals and coaches have done NLP training practitioner training for additional structure and techniques, especially to work with the unconscious mind.
[14:01] People think NLP is all about sales. It’s widely used in the business world, though it’s not the only way it is used. It can be used in a holistic sense and help people create a little more care and tenderness with themselves.
Practical Tips
[14:16] Watch my YouTube live replay on common misconceptions about NLP https://www.youtube.com/live/pTe7FHJufWQ?feature=share
[15:15] Use NLP to uncover who you are. It’s not about becoming a new person, but remembering who you truly are.
Key Takeaways
● There is so much to explore and learn by using NLP, using that curious mindset and tapping into that curiosity.
● You can destroy a house with a hammer or construct a house with a hammer. It’s not the hammer that’s the problem. It’s the intention of who is using the hammer and how they choose to use it.
