The Milton Model

My description below is based upon my notes taken during McKenna Breens Practitioner and Master Practitioner courses. Richard Bandlers method of teaching these patterns is a mixture of installation and writing out pages of examples. The more you work with these patterns, the more you will surprise yourself as you discover the patterns begin to naturally appear in your language.

Inverse Meta-Model Patterns

The Milton Model is often considered to be the opposite of the meta-model. This is because the meta-model is designed to take a clients vague language and ask questions to move to a more concrete description and move the client towards a solution, where as miltons model is based around using vague language to enhance the hypnotic process.
