We perceive the world through our senses. The flood of incoming information is

so huge that we are forced to filter it in order to make it meaningful and useful

to us. The filtering process is automatic and largely unconscious.

Our Internal Representation (IR) of the world is dominated by what we See,

Hear, and Feel

Internal Representations

“

Football

…

”

What I say and what you hear will almost always be different. More precisely,

since your Internal Representation of the world is not the same as mine there

will be many opportunities for us to mis-communicate

Physiology

There is an intimate connection - in real time – between our Internal state and

our External Physiology. The purpose of NLP is to be able to draw accurate

conclusions about how another’s Internal Representation works by carefully

observing how they Externally respond to questions.

Significantly improved Communication and Self-Awareness are the result

Visual Representation

Someone who Visualizes the world will respond by “seeing” images from their

memory. They will “see” images from the past by looking upwards and to left and

right as if watching a movie screen.

As they speak you should expect to hear how the house looked, its color, its

shape, and a description of the surrounding landscape.

To Better Communicate

Your Communication challenge is to continue the dialogue BUT using words and

expressions that resonate with IR of the person you are speaking with.

For a Visual – I see what you are saying, it reminds me of a picture I once saw…

For Auditory – I hear what you are saying, it reminds me of a song…

For Kinesthetic – I’d love to know more if you feel you can tell me about it…

It’s takes practice but you’ll be astonished with the results!

Context & Commonsense

Strong Emotions will mask Internal Representations and need to be interpreted

accordingly! Always keep this in mind.

This poor chap was just asked to describe the house he grew up in – clearly

there is some association with a significant negative experience.

Lots of Practice and some Commonsense will go a long way in this type of

situation
