Subject: T MILTON MODEL PART 2 CONT.
Double binds
These give a choice but within a
predetermined set. Whatever you choose is
covered.
Example:
'You may want to learn something now or later or not
at all, it doesn't matter…'
'I don't know if you
want to close your eyes or keep them open, you can do
either to enter into trance…'
In addition to
these patterns all the Meta Model patterns are
ambiguous and will keep the conscious mind fully occupied
in transderivational searches.
3. Accessing
unconscious resources
These patterns are designed to give
the client a lot of choices, and also can give
suggestions to access unconscious resources without being
interpreted as a conscious command to do so. The client can
choose whether they do so and exactly how they do
it.
Conversational postulates
A form of question that on the
surface invites a 'yes' or 'no' answer, but can be
understood on a deeper level as a command. It avoids giving
a direct instruction and gives a choice of
response.
'Can you imagine that?'
'Can you sit
down?'
'Do you know how to relax?'
'Do you know what the
time is?'
Tag questions
A question that is
added to the end of a statement framed in a way that
invites agreement. If you ask several in a row, they
establish what is called a 'yes set' where the person gets
used to agreeing and this makes it easier for them to
agree to the next suggestion.
Examples:
'You can
relax, can't you?'
'That was easy, wasn't
it?'
'These tag questions are easy to use aren't
they?'
You would be able to use them quite easily wouldn't
you?
Tag questions can also be used to distract the
conscious mind and orient the person differently in
time.
Examples:
'You can change that, haven't you?
'You have been
in a trance, aren't you?'
'That is a problem,
wasn't it?'
Embedded questions
These are
indirect questions that occur in the flow of the
conversation.
The client responds internally as if the question
were asked directly
'I wonder if you know what is
bothering you?'
'I don't know if you will tell me when
did you last learned something easily…'
