Subject: T (technique) MILTON MODEL - PART 1
The Milton Model PART
1
Deletions
Simple deletion
'You can learn comfortably…'
The
deletion allows the client to think what and how is most
appropriate for them to learn.
Unspecified
referential index
There will be people who have meant a
lot to you and who have taught you a great
deal…'
The client knows who they are and will think of
them.
Unspecified verb
'As you think and make sense of this in
your own way…'
This allows the client to make sense
in the way that suits
them
Comparison
'You can feel more and more relaxed…'
This
form of
words allows the client to relax at the rate that is
best for them.
Judgment
'It's good to
recall all the times you were successful…'
Makes it
easy for the client to recall those
times
Distortions
Complex equivalents
'As you close
your eyes so become
more comfortable…'
Mind reading
'You are
easily able to make sense of this as you become more
curious about exactly what you are going to
learn…'
Suggests a natural curiosity that will help the
client.
Nominalisations
'As you sink deeper into relaxation and
your comfort
grows, so the ease of your learning can be a source of
delight…
These nominalisations are so multilayered
that they engage the conscious mind in a
transderivational search. They lack any specific information, so
the client can make sense of them in any way that
suits them best.
Cause effect
'As you
breathe deeply and easily, each breath will make you
become more and more relaxed…'
Cause effect links
what is happening naturally (pacing) with the outcome
you want (leading). The cause - effect word 'makes'
is the transition between pacing and
leading.
Presuppositions
'I don't know if you will feel more
relaxed before
or after you close your eyes…'
Presuppose the
outcome you want (to close the eyes).
'Do you want to
learn something else now?' (You have learned
something)
'Don't go into trance yet…' (You will go into
trance).
Generalisations
Universals
'All you know is
available to you somewhere in your
unconscious…'
Using universals in the Milton Model sets aside the
possibility of self-imposed limits.
Modal operators of
necessity
'You shouldn't limit yourself if you want to be the
best you can be…you must seize the
opportunity…'
Modal operators are used to suggest empowering rules
for action.
Modal operators of
possibility
'You can become more resourceful… you are able to go
deeper into your experience…'
These modal operators
set a permissive and empowering frame.
