NLP Techniques

There are hundreds of NLP Techniques or patterns that have been developed since the early
70s. Many are variations of the core techniques created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder
Bandler and Grinder modeled Virginia Satir, Fritz Perls and Milton Erickson and created the
The Meta Model and The Milton Model. They used the work of Alfred Korzybski, Gregory
Bateson and Paul Watzlawick to create them. The first NLP techniques evolved from the
Meta and Milton models, which were originally language models for therapeutic change.
