NLP is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy. It explores the connections between neurological processes ('neuro'), language ('linguistic'), and behavioral patterns learned through experience ('programming'). Key areas often include:

• Rapport Building: Creating deep connection and trust with others.
• Sensory Acuity & Calibration: Noticing subtle non-verbal cues and adjusting communication accordingly.
• Representational Systems (VAKOG): Understanding how individuals perceive and process information through their senses (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory, Gustatory).
• Language Patterns (Meta-Model, Milton Model): Recognizing and utilizing specific language structures to influence and clarify.
• Reframing: Changing the meaning or context of an experience to alter its emotional impact.
• Anchoring & State Management: Creating triggers for desired emotional states and managing one's own state.
• Well-Formed Outcomes: Clearly defining goals in a way that makes them more achievable (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound, Ecological).
• NLP Presuppositions: Core beliefs that underpin NLP practice (e.g., 'The map is not the territory,' 'There is no failure, only feedback').
• Perceptual Positions: Viewing situations from different perspectives (self, other, observer).
