Throughout your life, you may have unknowingly built up barriers in your brain. 
It is these barriers that tend to hold you back from success. NLP can help you overcome 
these barriers by retraining your brain. 
 
Definition of Neuro-linguistic Programming 
 
NLP is a set of models of how communication impacts and is impacted by subjective 
experience. In addition to being an agent for change, NLP is also used in psychotherapy 
treatments for problems as diverse as phobias and schizophrenia. NLP also aims at 
transforming corporations, showing them how to accomplish their maximum potential 
and achieve great success. 
 
Who crafted the NLP process? 
 
The theories and application of NLP were co-created by two men in the 1970’s. One 
a linguist, John Grinder and his partner Richard Bandler. The initial focus of their 
experiments in NLP was to discover what gave three psychotherapists the advantage 
in successfully treating their clients. These three psychotherapists, gestalt therapist 
Fritz Perls, family therapist Virginia Satir and founding president of the American 
Society for Clinical Hypnosis, Milton H. Erickson, were more successful in treatment 
than that of their peers.
