Introduction To The Milton Model

The document discusses the Milton model, which involves using artfully vague language patterns to induce trance states in others. It describes how Virginia Satir used specificity to help people, while Milton Erickson was so abstract and hypnotic that he challenged existing views of language use. The Milton model involves 19 categories of hypnotic language patterns that seem to produce trance by requiring unconscious search for meaning. These patterns are used throughout society and can be applied to business contexts. Erickson found he could induce trance using less and less language over time, eventually doing so without words by being highly artfully vague.

01 Introduction to the Milton Model.

mp3
Welcome back. This is program number eight and are accelerated MLP LP training series and we're
going to move on now to the Milton model as we continue our series on language Now we've talked
about the hierarchy of ideas we've talked about presuppositions. So this is a pretty good basis for us
to begin now to talk about the Milton model masters of language of all time have been able to
control the abstraction to the specificity of language and I think that that's what this whole sections
about is being able to control the level of language that you're speaking or that you're working with
someone and what is that level of language what is the level that you need to talk to them at what
level will produce the proper results for the kind of results you want to produce. So let's turn to page
40 mind reads Milton model mind reads are the first category and what. First of all what is the
Milton model. Well you know Baylor and grinder went off to study Virginia City here originally
and we're going to talk about the the meta model later on. They went to originally to study Virginia
City here and they got the idea from Virginia because she could do spectacular work just by getting
more specific. Virginia would chunked down and get more specific chunk down chunked down he'd
really get really specific and people's problems would disappear as if by magic. And so they wrote
the book the structure of magic volumes 1 and 2 and primarily in essence what she was doing was
simply getting more specific where somebody said she hurt me.

Virginia would say how specifically and then they went off to study Milton Erickson when banner
and grinder went off to studyM.S. now imagine doing this and having in your mind. Here here
here's here's the idea that getting more specific is what to do to create great change and now
imagine having that in your mind and going off and listening to Milton Erickson. Whoa. Now here's
a guy who was so abstract and so hypnotic that it must they had to change their whole thinking and
so they came up with the Milton model and the Milton model is of course is the opposite end of a
full spectrum of getting specific which is what the meta models about now the Milton model
actually has specific hypnotic language patterns. They're the language patterns that seem to produce
trance in the person when you're talking to them. Now the reason why they produce trance it's
because the client is listening to what you're saying needs to go in and needs to produce a trans
derivation search or search at the unconscious level to create new associations and new have new
ideas as to why or as to what the meaning of the word is that you're using so hypnotic language
patterns all of the Milton model are what we would call artfully vague or they're specifically vague
designed to produce a specific result in a specific area. By giving you 0 18 or 19 different categories
of language patterns the idea here is not necessarily that you would know the names of the
categories at least not at this point. You certainly don't need to memorize the names of the language
patterns until you decide to become a trainer.

But as a practitioner simply being able to use the different types of language patterns is absolutely
sufficient. But I want to go over these so that you have an idea of what the names of the language
patterns are and what the kinds of words are and I want to give you some examples. Milton model
patterns are in use throughout all of society. There isn't one stratas of society that doesn't use them.
And I've had a lot of people say to me Oh Tad I couldn't possibly use these in business will give me
a break. People use them in business all the time and we have a specific section in our practitioner
training if you come and take it where we'll show you how to use them in business for purposes of
this program. We're simply going to learn how to use hypnotic language patterns in general and I
think that's the best place to start. Milton Erickson told a story once that a long time ago when he
began to do hypnosis he thought the best thing to do is to write out about all of the ways he knew to
induce trance. And so he said he started and he laid out all of the different methods and techniques
and specific processes for how do you induce trance in a person. And he said as he began he started
and he accumulated a number of pages and he got one page and he began to get two pages and three
pages. And when he got all done he sat down on a typewriter and typed them all out and when he
got all done he had 30 single spaced typed written typewritten pages with very very small margins.
And he said this was his entire compendium of how do you induce trance. He said. But as he
learned how to be more artfully vague over the years and as a year learned to utilize states of trance
and hypnosis that other people that other people hadn't been using. He said he began to cut down
those 30 pages to twenty nine and then twenty five and then 20 and then 15 and then ten and then
nine and eight and 7 six and five 3 and then 2 and then one and then he said he cut it down to one
page and then one paragraph and then one sentence and then one time he was in Mexico and they
asked him to induce trance and a woman and she didn't know English and he didn't know Spanish.
And he induced trance in her with no words at all so how did Eriksen induce trance and people and
be so artfully vague. And how did he induce trance in ways without using language specifically
well the Milton models how. So let's look at number one again.
