Principles of Medical Interactions according to Neurolinguistic Programming

• Everyone makes the best choice available to them at the time - accept, understand, and forgive

• There is no failure, only feedback - accept mistakes as a learning opportunity

• Behind every behaviour is a positive intention - be curious, find it, learn from it

• The map is not the territory - what you feel is only one way of looking at things, there are other ways that might prove more useful

• The meaning of communication is its effect - take responsibility for what and how you communicate

• We already have all the resources we need - tap into all your resources and divert them to where they are needed

• The person with the most flexibility has the most influence - the more choices of how to respond we have, the better. If one fails choose another 

• Mind and body are one - what affects one affects the other

• There is a solution to every problem - be curious and find it, be patient and keep trying different approaches

• What is true of someone else is true for us too - what we notice in others we have too - thats how we recognise it. 

• If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got - it’s you who has to change if you want a different result
