NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is the study of how the brain codes learning and experience. This coding affects all communication and behavior. It affects how you learn and how you experience the world around you.

I'm still confused???

Who uses this stuff?
People from all walks of life use NLP personally and professionally. Often called the "Psychology of excellence" NLP is used for a multitude of reasons. For example:

Longer answer:

The Presuppositions of NLP?

The ability to change the process by which we experience reality is more often valuable than changing the content of our experience of reality.

The meaning of the communication is the response you get.

All distinctions human beings are able to make concerning our environment and our behavior can be usefully represented through the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, and gustatory senses.

The resources an individual needs in order to effect a change are already within them.

The map is not the territory.

The positive worth of the individual is held constant, while the value and appropriateness of internal and/or external behavior is questioned.

There is a positive intention motivating every behavior, and a context in which every behavior has value.

Feedback vs. Failure - All results and behaviors are achievements, whether they are desired outcomes for a given task/context, or not.

Why not just do NLP or Hypnosis? Why both?
NLP and Hypnosis are in some ways one and the same. In some ways you can think of NLP as effective hypnosis or Hypnosis as effective NLP but either way you look at it goes back to the short answer: DO WHAT WORKS!

Hypnosis and NLP Work!
