 Core Presuppositions of NLP

​

2.  The Map is Not the Territory.

​

  • As human beings, we can never know reality.

  • We can only know our perceptions of reality.

  • We experience and respond to the world around us primarily through our sensory representational systems.

  • It is our 'neuro-linguistic' maps of reality that determine how we behave and that give those behaviors meaning, not reality itself.

​

It is generally not reality that limits us or empowers us, but rather our map of reality

​

  1. Our clients have all the resources they need.

​

​

3.   Life and 'Mind' are Systemic Processes.

 

  • The processes that take place within a human being and between human beings and their environment are systemic.

  • Our bodies, our societies, and our universe form an ecology of complex systems and sub-systems all of which interact with and mutually influence each other.

  • It is not possible to completely isolate any part of the system from the rest of the system. Such systems are based on certain 'self-organizing' principles and naturally seek optimal states of balance or homeostasis​
