What are The 3 Principles?
Mon Jan 19 2026
Welcome back to the NLP UK Training podcast! Hosted by NLP Trainers Steve Kay and Kali Fraser from NLPUKTraining.com – a leading provider of NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner certification in the UK.
In this episode, Steve and Kali unpack one of the most talked-about (and most misunderstood) ideas in modern psychology and coaching... The 3 Principles.
Steve takes on the challenge of explaining it simply, cutting through jargon to show how the 3 Principles describe the way we experience life from the inside out. Using everyday examples - mistaken identities, noisy cars, and instant reactions - they explore how our brains are constantly predicting reality, and how what we experience isn’t happening to us, but is being generated by us.
The real power comes in the implications. As Steve explains, once you gain an embodied understanding that feelings, reactions, and stress are created internally, life naturally begins to settle.
You become calmer, less hooked by the past, less anxious about the future, and more able to respond as your true self rather than from habit or ego.
If you’re curious about why insight can be more powerful than techniques, how peace of mind emerges without effort, and why the 3 Principles quietly transform how people relate to themselves and others, this episode is a clear and welcoming starting point. Have a watch and see what shifts when you realise the projector has always been inside you.
