to difficult life experiences. When people get stuck in such thoughts it can lead to periods of low mood or
anxiety. This introduction to NLP will give you an insight into common thinking patterns and how challenging
them can lead to positive mental wellbeing . Ideal for people new to Learn2b and NLP. ( Neuro-linguistic programming)
