{photo source} This diagram represents the NLP communication model. What we’ve got is an external event that comes in from the outside, goes into your head and you filter that information in some way.

When electrical information that comes down to the top neuron hits the synaptic gap neurotransmitters are propagated across the synaptic gap. Neurotransmitters are chemical and when it… Read More
Thing are not always what they seem When an external event comes inside our neurology, the filters we have delete, distort and generalise it.
