The NLP Meta-Programs

NLP Meta-Programs are mental filters that shape how people perceive and respond to the world. They influence preferences, behaviors, and communication by highlighting certain patterns over others—for example, whether someone is motivated by what's missing or what's present, or if they focus on details versus the big picture. Think of them as unconscious mental switches that guide your focus and decision-making. Recognizing these patterns helps improve understanding, communication, and influence by tailoring interactions to align with an individual's underlying mental style.
