The NLP Meta Model

The Meta Model is the fundamental tool in NLP for connecting a client's words with their experience.

When one first learns the Meta Model there is a temptation to overuse it, and use it too enthusiastically. Unless we have great rapport, this can make our client feel uncomfortable.

However, as we practice more, and begin to get the Meta Model under our fingers, we forget we are using it. It becomes a natural adjunct to our questions, probing with sensitivity, and just enough to get the information we need to help our client change.

So learn this great tool, then forget about it!
