STRATEGIES AND MODELING

Modeling as Strategy Elicitation
NLP Modeling can be thought of as multilevel strategy elicitation. Strategies are the basis of modeling.

Modeling is wider than strategy elicitation because modeling includes higher level experience such as beliefs, values, identity etc. However, even beliefs can be thought of as startegies as typically a belief can be modeled as being supported by internal pictures, dialogue etc.

Eliciting Strategies
Recall how we elicited strategies? Eliciting the basic TOTE strategy for the modeled skill is a great start to the modeling process.

Eye Accessing
Remember that eye accessing is directly related to strategies. Therefore modeling the model’s eye accessing cues can act as a proxy to the underlying mental processes.

Other Cues
Remember also that predicates, breathing, posture, rate and pitch of speech and other BMIRs can also act as proxies to underlying mental processes.

Melissa Tiers Practice Group Wednesday May 21, 2008

Melissa Tiers held her regular hypnosis and NLP practice group on Wednesday.

The session began with Shawn Carson of International Center for Positive Change giving a summary of his weekend Master Practitioner course. Shawn briefly explained the NLP concept of Strategies  and Logical Levels.

The group then practiced using eye accessing or eye movements to calibrate and reset a strategy. Melissa explained that a strategy would be reflected in a person's eye movements under NLP principles. Therefore by asking a client to move their eyes in a different pattern while thinking about a problem (especially a more resourceful pattern) will disrupt the old strategy.

The group then practiced mapping across submodalities for motivation.
