Change your map,
change your world.
You know that conversation that gets you unstuck? Mapaterra is a coach that talks with you by voice, with the techniques of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming): it truly listens, asks the questions that get things moving, and helps the same problem take on a new shape, a new tone and a new weight. It also writes meditations for the moment you're in, and opens every NLP Practitioner lesson, free.
New to NLP? Here it is in plain words ↓Tap the orb to hear Aria, one of the coach's voices.
A 20-second demo. Best with headphones.
“Hi, I'm Aria. Before we begin, take one slow breath with me… Good. Now think of that conversation you've been worrying about. Notice the picture that comes up. Is it close, or far away? Bright, or faded? Let's try something. Move that picture a little farther back, and let the colors soften… What changes in your body when you do that?”

NLP, in plain words
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It began in the 1970s in California, when Richard Bandler and John Grinder studied how great communicators and change-makers actually worked, and turned what they found into questions and exercises anyone can learn. It's a practical toolkit for communication and personal change: a way of growing, not a treatment.
Neuro
How you take in the world: what you see, hear and feel, and the inner pictures, sounds and feelings it leaves behind.
Linguistic
The words you use, out loud and in your head. Change the words, and the experience starts to change with them.
Programming
The patterns you run on autopilot, your habits of thinking and reacting. They were learned, so new ones can be learned too.
Ever noticed how an awkward moment seems to grow a little every time you replay it? NLP gives you simple ways to change how you replay it, until it loses its grip.
The idea behind the name
The map is not the territory.
Your mind doesn't perceive the world exactly as it is. It works from a map, drawn from your experiences, beliefs and expectations. That map is what you decide, feel and react by.
The good news is that maps can be updated. Think of a narrow trail through the brush: the more you walk it, the more it becomes a road. A new path works the same way. And the old road doesn't need to be torn down; once you stop using it, the brush grows back over it.
Map and land. What you imagine and what is there, in better conversation.
The idea lines up with a branch of neuroscience called predictive processing: the mind works by anticipating the world and correcting its own predictions.

What a session sounds like
YouEvery time I have to speak in a meeting, I freeze. I guess I'm just not good at it.
CoachYou said “just not good at it.” Not good compared to whom, and in which situation?
YouCompared to my boss, I suppose. He speaks so easily.
CoachAnd when you explain something you know well to one colleague, just the two of you, how do you do?
YouActually, I do fine then.
CoachSo the skill is already there. What changes when the room fills up? Let's explore that together.
Notice the questions. They come from the Meta Model, one of the tools you also learn in the app.
