NLP 1002 · Communication, Language and Rapport

Led by Virginia Satir Simulacrum

The structured management of human communication in NLP — rapport, pacing and matching; the VAK representational systems and predicate language; and the Meta Model, the most precise linguistic tool NLP has produced.

1. Module 1

   Rapport, Pacing and Matching

   Led by Virginia Satir Simulacrum

   The question

   How does rapport work, and how does the practitioner establish it deliberately? You will study the three components of communication (words, voice, physiology), the five Satir communication stances under stress, congruence as the practitioner standard, and the mechanics of matching, mirroring, cross-over matching and pacing — including the critical distinction between pacing and following.

   Outcome

   You can establish and use rapport deliberately — distinguishing the state of contact from its mechanical preconditions, and pacing from following.

   Modalities and the VAK Model

   Led by Virginia Satir Simulacrum

   The question

   In what medium does your client experience the world? You will study the five representational systems (VAKOG), the primary, lead and reference systems, accessing cues, predicate words as real-time representational-system indicators, and sub-modalities — the fine-grained controls within each modality that determine emotional intensity.

   Outcome

   You can identify a client's representational system from their predicate language and work with sub-modalities as the control panel of emotional experience.

3. Module 3

   The Meta Model — Recovering What Language Has Hidden

   Led by NLP Modelling Systems Simulacrum

   The question

   What has been deleted, distorted, or generalised in what your client has just said? You will study the Meta Model's three violation categories and their subcategories, the precise challenge for each, the sequencing of Meta Model questions, when not to use it, and its structural relationship to the Milton Model.

   Outcome

   You can identify and precisely challenge Meta Model violations in live language — and explain why the Meta Model and the Milton Model are structural mirrors of each other.
