At the heart of NLP, we have presuppositions, basic ideas that can be useful to remember or learn and can guide us at times. Perhaps we should just look at a few. We have already touched on "The map is not the territory". Meaning that our interpretation is never exactly the reality, we may be close, but it is our subjective meaning-making. The second that we may want to look at here is "There is no such thing as failure" You can see that every time we fail, we cannot help but learn and can take that forward with us, rather than see a black and white success or failure. The last one to look at here that we really don't appreciate. is that behind every action, there is a positive action intended. Sometimes the action being taken may be completely unacceptable; other times the response may be from our unconscious mind in the form of a creative fear or phobia perhaps. even in these scenarios, there is still a positive intention.
