Quotes

A Linguistic Pattern in which your message is expressed as if by someone else. By attributing a statement or suggestion to a third party, the practitioner can deliver powerful messages while bypassing the client's conscious resistance. The unconscious mind processes the embedded message regardless of the attributed source. For example: 'My teacher once told a client, relax deeply now, and they found it transformed their experience.' Milton Erickson frequently used quotes and extended quotes to deliver therapeutic suggestions indirectly.
