The question “What is NLP used for?” or, what are some uses of NLP is a far better question than “What is NLP.” Because every single person on earth can have a different experience using NLP and, therefore, a different understanding of NLP.
That’s why they say NLP is a subjective experience.
And, because NLP is mainly a subjective experience, the answer to what it is could be different for every person who experiences it.
For example, say you and a friend both took our NLP Training. If your friend’s experience was discovering how to have better, more fulfilling relationships, that could be your friend’s definition of NLP.
Meanwhile, the same training gave you a life-changing experience whereby you gained total self-confidence. Then that would be your definition of what NLP is.
Multiply that by thousands of different experiences and then try to get one answer for “What is NLP.”
As you can see, with so many possible experiences, each different from the other, satisfying the question with one answer would be impossible.
