NLP Modeling - The Core Discipline of NLP
Posted on August 21, 2008
I wrote in another article how NLP is NOT therapy. Most beginning students mistake NLP to be a form of therapy because so much has been published, debated and criticized about the therapeutic models developed in NLP.
If you read through this entire post, you\'ll have figured out 99% of the NLP game. Many experienced NLPers that I\'ve talked to haven\'t understood the distinction I\'m about to share with you. And yet, when you get it (and you will), you\'ll breeze through any NLP material and assimilate it much more quickly, because you\'ll have a framework with which to absorb it.
In short, NLP is a modeling technology. Its central purpose can be expressed in three sequential activities:
I\'ve come to adopt the perspective that NLP is a field that lends its discoveries to other fields. Let me give you an example so you can easily understand this.
If you\'re new to NLP, you\'ll soon study the Milton Model, which consists of a collection of language patterns distilled from modelling Milton Erickson, the most prominent practicioner of hypnotherapy.
Most NLPers would tell you that the Milton Model is an NLP model. I prefer to say that NLP practicioners produced a hypnosis model called the Milton Model.
Likewise, I\'d rather say that a practicioner of NLP produced a financial mastery model, a soccer dribbling model, a seduction model and so forth and so on. Each field to its own. Our field is the field of modeling. And our tools are those tools that make modeling possible.
This of course, is only my point of view and I\'d be surprised if NLPers agreed with me. Nevertheless, I find it more useful to classify those models as such.
In future posts, I\'ll begin to distinguish which of the classical tools of NLP belong to NLP and which ones belong to other fields.
