Notes on the thing NLP was before it became a certificate.
What NLP is, how it actually works, what survived testing and what did not. Written by the people who teach it, for people who want to understand it rather than collect it.

Anchoring, reframing, the swish pattern, submodalities, the Meta Model. The most common NLP techniques, explained plainly, with how each one works and when it is worth using.
