NLP has gone wild in a world cohabited by humans and machines. Long before, however, this acronym has stood for the complex relationships we maintain with each other, and with our wonderful minds alike.
At the Origins of the Appellation
Neuro linguistic programming.. such an unlikely marriage of words which means : Our behavior is conditioned by the way our neurons are connected to each other. Trivial. Whereas, those networks are found to be reshapable at any moment of our lives. Words — aka self talk — are particularly powerful in this regard.
How can this happen ?
Science said that neuroplasticity is real, constantly triggered by our learning and adaptation to different environments, contexts and persons along the way.
