Led by NLP Modelling Systems Simulacrum

The operational core of NLP — submodalities as the structure of inner experience, anchoring and reframing, the Swish Pattern, and the Milton Model of indirect language hosted by the Milton Erickson Simulacrum.

1. Module 1

   Submodalities — The Structure of Inner Experience

   Led by NLP Modelling Systems Simulacrum

   The question

   What is the fine-grained structure of how your client holds a problem, and how does changing that structure change the experience? You will study the sub-modalities of the visual, auditory and kinaesthetic systems, the concept of driver sub-modalities, the sub-modality mapping procedure, and the application of sub-modality work to beliefs, phobias and compulsions.

   Outcome

   You can use sub-modalities as a diagnostic and change tool — identifying the structural difference between a problem state and a desired state, and targeting the driver sub-modality.

   Anchoring, Reframing and the Swish Pattern

   Led by NLP Modelling Systems Simulacrum

   The question

   How does the practitioner install resourceful states deliberately, collapse unwanted stimulus-response links, and interrupt automatic habitual responses? You will study the IERT conditions for effective anchoring, collapsing and stacking anchors, context and content reframing, the six-step reframe, and the Swish Pattern — including its directionality and its failure conditions.

   Outcome

   You can install, collapse and stack anchors deliberately, perform both types of reframing, and run the Swish Pattern — knowing when it will fail.

3. Module 3

   The Milton Model and Indirect Language

   Led by Milton Erickson Simulacrum

   The question

   How does the practitioner use language to bypass conscious resistance and speak directly to the resources the client already has? You will study the Milton Model language categories — truisms, embedded commands, presuppositions, conversational postulates, therapeutic double binds, and metaphor — and the clinical decision of when indirect language is preferable to precise Meta Model questioning.

   Outcome

   You can construct and deploy Milton Model language deliberately, explain its derivation from the Meta Model, and make the clinical decision between indirect and direct language.
