NLP, beliefs and the structure of human experience

On NLP changework, developmental stages, beliefs and being human

As humans, we largely pattern our life experiences to support our beliefs. We create and sustain our own maps of reality. Unfortunately many of the fundamental life decisions that make up the fabric of our belief system we decided before we were 3 years old, at a time when not much of our "higher brain" functioning was available. For instance, the frontal lobes, which allow us to do long term planning and to fully realize the consequences of our actions is not fully developed till we are about 21 years old.

Developmental psychologists describe stages of development that the human organism's brain and biology grow through as one evolves from the"critter" level, fight-flight stages that Wilhelm Reich described as "Organismic rights" (right to exist, need, be autonomous, separate, love and love sexually) through the oedipal/Electra, magical thinking, early socialization and concrete operational stages of the neo-Freudians, such as Erikson, Piaget, Vygotski and Joseph Chilton Pearce. Nature seems to present us with windows of opportunity during which each of these stages is mastered, matured and stabilized. The degree to which one has successfully mastered each stage can have deep impact on succeeding stages.

NLP offers an elegant set of principles, physiology calibration and other tools with which to reach into and appreciate a person's map and then fine-tune the visual, auditory and kinesthetic (and olfactory, gustatory) representations that make up a person's memories and unique maps of reality.

The change produced with NLP interventions is like a "software update" to the whole system. Parts of the psyche and personality that were previously occupied in an unworkable struggle to preserve some primitive, fundamental world view are now available for a higher level of creative functioning. You can literally change your life.
