This is Your Brain:
This is your Brain on NLP

As we cross into the 21st century, futurists are hailing the time in which we live as the century of neuroscience and biotechnology. Advances in brain science are revealing the mechanisms of how we process information and code experience, revolutionizing our comprehension of the human experience and how lasting change happens.

As NLP practitioners, we possess a framework for improving human lives… one which until now has existed largely outside the dominant academic paradigm. Fascinating new insights from neuroscience are rapidly challenging the field of human behavior in ways that dovetail with the presuppositions and practices of NLP.

Through a mix of discussion, experiental activity, and lecture, this session will help practitioners to understand brain science in order to:

• Use NLP processes in a more precise and impactful way
• Deeply reinforce change
• Combine NLP processes with other practices for maximal effectiveness
• Recognize situations where NLP alone may not be the best approach
• Increase the legitimacy of NLP in the larger scientific and therapeutic communities.
