Milton Model

A model of language patterns derived from the hypnotic communication style of Dr. Milton H. Erickson, codified by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. The Milton Model uses deliberately vague, artfully ambiguous language to bypass conscious resistance and communicate directly with the unconscious mind. Patterns include embedded commands, presuppositions, pacing and leading, and utilization. It is the inverse of the Meta Model and is central to both NLP and hypnotherapy.
