The roots of NLP lie in what we call “modeling” rather than “theory”. A model is a description of how something works without looking at why it works.

Coaching is primarily oriented towards the present and support for the future, while psychotherapy focuses on resolving past problems.

NLP and psychotherapy have different assumptions or premises, different methodologies, different measures and different concepts in practice.

Traditional psychology usually divides the mind into three essential partitions: Id, Ego and Superego. While NLP also has a “parts-of-self integration model”, this is mainly metaphorical, positive and extensible.

The integration of parts is one example of an NLP change process, among others.

Behaviors include thought structures such as beliefs and values, patterns and sequences of cognition, memory, sensory representation and the linguistic structure of thought. None of these elements can be directly observed from the outside, although their effects or consequences are often directly linked to measurable external observations.
