When was NLP created?
NLP was initially created in the 1970’s by Richard Bandler, a student of mathematics and gestalt therapy, and John Grinder, a Professor of Linguistics at The University of California Santa Cruz. They began modeling and duplicating the “magical results” of a few top communicators and therapists. Some of the first people they studied included Hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, gestalt therapist Fritz Perls and family therapist Virginia Satir. Since then, many others have contributed to the growth and development of the field.
What is NLP?
NLP is the study of excellent communication–both with yourself, and with others. It was developed by modeling excellent communicators and therapists who got results with their clients. NLP is a set of tools and techniques, and it is so much more than that.
It is an attitude and a methodology of knowing how to achieve your goals and get results.

What does NLP stand for?
NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming.
Neuro = Neurology
The physical components as well as the mental and emotional components of our neurology
Linguistic = Language
Linguistics pertains to the language that you use, and more specifically, how you communicate with others and more importantly, how you communicate with yourself
Programming = Function
Perceiving your mind as your internal operating system, Programming is the way our past experiences, thoughts and emotions affect all areas of our lives
