I am not entirely sure how many I have done, hundreds at this point. Though a seemingly simple technique, it actually requires ALL of the NLP Practitioner training skills to come together. And it is one of the few NLP techniques where it is really important to stick to process.
Before you begin
1. Rapport!
2. Managing your own internal state.
3. Meta-model, to figure out what specifically is the problem.
4. 4-tupling and the Milton-model to create the experience.
5. Perceptual positions – 3rd position / 3 place dissociation (larger dissociation, less magnitude.)
6. Submodalities (black and white, color.)
There are literally 100s of notes I could give on this, and ideas how to cook with NLP. I will just give a few in a series of articles on this blog.
