Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a controversial field that combines elements of communication, personal development, and psychotherapy. It focuses on the idea that there's a link between how our brains process information (neuro), how we use language (linguistic), and our behavioral patterns (programming).

Proponents of NLP say it can help people achieve their goals by changing their thoughts and behaviors. They claim it can be useful for things like:

• Improving communication
• Reducing anxiety
• Phobia treatment
• Personal development

However, NLP is considered pseudoscience by many experts. There's a lack of strong scientific evidence to support many of its claims.

Here's a breakdown of NLP:

• Origins: Developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder.
• Core Tenets:
  • Our experience shapes our perception of the world.<
