NLP Advanced Language Patterns Mastery Day 52: Comparisons Exercise

Comparisons Exercise - This exercise will require a willing partner.

  1. A states a problem/limitation.
  2. B determines the comparison involved in the limitation.
    “As compared to what?”
    “What are you comparing this to, to even recognize what it is?”
    Determine: Is this a useful comparison to change? If we changed this comparison, would that change his/her experience? If not, is there another comparison in this context that would be more useful to change? (Hint: it’s often useful to go earlier in the sequence.)
  3. B tries to change components of the comparison in a useful way. Be sure you’re only changing the comparison, not the complex equivalence of cause-effect.

Possible components to change in a comparison:

  1. Change chunk size
  2. Digital/analog
  3. Change criteria
  4. Mismatch/match (or less/more)
  5. Change time frame
  6. Other/other comparison
  7. Different self/other
  8. Self/self

NLP Advanced Language Patterns Mastery Day 51: Sleight of Mouth: Reversing Presuppositions

Sleight of Mouth: Reversing Presuppositions - Today, when someone states a limiting belief, use the following Sleight of Mouth pattern and notice if their experience of the limiting belief shifts. Be sure to maintain rapport as you deliver the pattern.

Purpose: This is a particularly useful Sleight of Mouth category since you can utilize it with most beliefs. The general formula below gives you an “all-purpose” way to apply this method - even when you don’t know the answer yourself.

Reversing Presuppositions:
“How [does/will/can/might/could/would] A actually [cause/equal/mean] more [opposite of 'B']?”
Or
“How [does/will/can/might/could/would] [opposite of 'A'] actually [cause/equal/mean] more ‘B’?”

Example: “In what way, now that you think about it, will the fact that you have personal flaws and you know it, actually support your own personal development than if you had no personal flaws at all?”

NLP Advanced Language Patterns Mastery Day 50: Sleight of Mouth: Apply to Self

Sleight of Mouth: Apply to Self - Today, when someone states a limiting belief, use the following Sleight of Mouth pattern and notice if their experience of the limiting belief shifts. Be sure to maintain rapport as you deliver the pattern.

Key Question: How can the criteria in the belief be used against the belief?

Purpose: Utilize criteria within belief to blow it out.

Three Components Generally Required:

  1. Go Meta
  2. Utilize Criterion
  3. Blow Out Belief

To utilize “away-from” criteria:

  1. Restate belief as “I don’t like x.”
  2. Say, “This belief is x.”
    Example: “I don’t like absolutes.” Response: “Is that an absolute?”

To utilize “toward” criteria:

  1. Restate belief as “I want x.”
  2. Say, “This belief stops you from having x.”
    Example: “I always have to please people.” Response: “That doesn’t please me.”

To utilize situations in which their having the belief contradicts the belief.

  1. Say, “The fact that you have this belief proves it’s not true.”
  2. Example: “I can’t learn.” Response: “You learned that really well, didn’t you?”
