Neurolinguistic Programming

Practitioners of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) seek to move the patients from their present state of discomfort to a desired state of health and well-being through reprogramming their beliefs about healing. Usually, the practitioner will ask questions to distinguish unconscious emotional patterns that affect the patient’s emotional state. These questions usually regard the patient’s life or condition and report how the patient relates to his or her present condition in both conscious and unconscious ways. Once the unconscious patterns have been discovered, the patient can be assisted in adopting new, positive patterns.
