FAQ About NLP & Hypnotherapy

Brief History of NLP

NLP was co-developed back in the early 70’s by Dr. John Grinder and Richard Bandler for the purpose of coding the structure of human excellence. Together John & Richard studied the work of several outstanding and effective therapists three of the most famous being: Virginia Satir, well know family therapist author of such books as “Conjoint Family Therapy” Published in 1964 and “Satir Step by Step”, A Guide to Creating Change in Families” Co authored by Virginia Satir & Michele Baldwin”. Milton H Erickson, world renowned hypnotist whose outstanding work continues today: Fritz Perls, originator of Gestalt Therapy”

Through working together and studying these outstanding therapists John & Richard identified significant patterns from their work and began to transfer these patterns to others and across other contexts. It is through this work other studies developed and applications of these patterns began emerging into other areas such as business, training, sales and communications. *It is important to note these additional and ongoing developments are very effective however they are applications of NLP not NLP.
