Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an experiential approach that relies on the interaction between individuals and their ability to observe and convey essential information to shape communications and actions. The fundamental techniques used in NLP are modeling, action, and effective communication. The premise in NLP is that if an individual can understand how another person accomplishes a task, the process may be copied and communicated to others to accomplish the same task. The belief is that everyone has a personal map of what reality is. Those who practice NLP analyze their own and others' perspectives to create a systematic overview of a specific situation. By understanding different perspectives, the NLP user gains information about how the body and mind influence each other. Advocates of this school of thought believe the body and mind influence each other, and the senses are vital for processing available information.
