Positive and Negative Views about NLP

As with many things in life, differing opinions exist, and this applies to the public perception of NLP.

We recognise that NLP can be, and is sometimes met with scepticism and mistrust.

Across the internet, NLP is advertised as a method of seduction and manipulation and sometimes, that is people’s first impression of the field. Combined with NLPs unregulated status and the multitude and ferocity of these search engine results, NLP is often unhealthily linked with manipulation and “mind control.”

This is not the intention of NLP.

Like most industries and professions,  we recognise that there will always be those people who distort and alter an originally positive intention into something negative to suit their own personal gain.  NLP, as we said in our definition is a collection of methods and models which can lead to a greater understanding and insight into human behaviour. This understanding can bring about a positive change in you and others and that is the intention on NLP.
