I read some of your blog articles and understand what you mean.

However, when I am talking about NLP for example, I don't mean the placebo effect, but the general idea that the words you choose, the way you phrase a sentence can have a greater effect on a person than the message you are trying to convey.

I am talking about the structure of communication.

Let's say I want to make someone laugh about me.
For example, saying, "Please don't laugh!" is likely to make a person think about laughing, while "You won't take me seriously..." will not.

When I was talking about NLP, I mean these subtle differences in the choice of words and phrasing that can have completely different outcomes regardless of the message you are trying to convey someone.

...

So what I am planning in my specific case is to somehow choose the right words when talking to her again, so that everytime she thinks about something bad about me, I can make it good, make her laugh about it, make her happy, so that the laughter and happiness are greater than the disappointment or resentment she has towards me.

That's what I meant by using NLP.
