Neurolinguistic Programming

A Way of Understanding Subjective Experience

All experience is channeled through our sensory perceptions.  If we do not see, feel, hear, taste or smell it, we do not experience it.  The smell of a rose to one person may be delightful, while the next person finds it offensive.  Two people may view the exact same incident and relay completely different stories about what they saw.  Therefore, all experience is subjective.

Founders of NLP, Richard Bandler and John Grinder, in conducting their exploratory studies, based on the suppositions above, were able to determine that each person expresses their experiences beyond the use of words and that there were neurological reflexes associated with the words; thus neurolinguistic. 

As their studies advanced, they also discovered that there were sensory perceptions that would trigger certain responses, i.e., a tone or increased frequency of a voice that would cause an automatic resentment that had nothing to do with the person talking.  Upon questioning, the subject revealed that the sound caused them to remember an incident from years ago - thus neurologically programmed to respond the same way when the tone or frequency of the sound was repeated.
