删除

Deletion. In the 元模型 we have learnt about Deletion. In sense of the 元模型 we have learned to reveal the deleted information in a statement made by the client.

Basically everything we have learnt in the 元模型 to collect 删除, 扭曲的或广义的 information, we do upside down in the 米尔顿模式.

在米尔顿模式 we use it in the opposite way. Remember that the 米尔顿模式 uses vague language to direct the unconscious mind into the direction we want to guide our client.

That is why the 米尔顿模式 is also referred as the 元模型的逆向.

Using the 米尔顿模式 patterns, you can achieve this without needing to know what those specific achievements or experiences were. Just by saying “In the light of what you’ve done so far you already have accomplished a lot of things.” or “All the good progress you’ve had, your future becomes more and more bright.”

Lets dive deeper in the Milton Model Deletion

Remember that we use the Milton Model for hypnotic inductions. Using non-specific language aims to induce and deepen a state of trance in order to bring your client into contact with their unconscious mind. Now, let’s zoom in into the various subcategories of Deletion in the 米尔顿模式.

Simple Deletions

In the Milton Model, simple deletions involve omitting crucial details or information in a statement, leaving gaps for the listener to fill in based on their own understanding and experiences. This creates a sense of vagueness and can allow the listener to more readily accept the suggested meaning without conscious awareness.

The listener’s “map of the world” (their internal representations and beliefs) helps to interpret the missing information, leading to a deeper understanding and potentially influencing their thoughts or behaviors

These examples are good for motivating people:

“We’re all on the path of success,” doesn’t say where to, but it sounds good.
“If you’re satisfied, we’ll move on” doesn’t say what they’re satisfied about, or where we’re moving on to – but often you don’t need to.

In daily life conversations we use simple deletions many times. Otherwise it would take a lot of time to say anything. In regular conversations

Comparative Deletion

“You are so much stronger now.” – stronger than what? Compared to whom? Stronger than it was a week ago? Maybe both. You can let your client take their own meanings from the statement.

You can also link two comparative deletions. Remember the Cause and Effect linkages – “The more you practice, the better you get.” This example links the activity of practice to becoming better, every time. (the More the More pattern).

And you can also use two comparative deletions when you want people to stop doing one thing and start doing another. Elvis Presley made a great song about it: “A little less conversation, a little more action.”

Unspecified Nouns or Unspecified Referential Index

“It’s going great, isn’t it?” What’s going great? Now you start to understand that the ‘it’ refers to your ever expanding knowledge ot the 米尔顿模式.

Some things happen fast, and some things happen slow before it all falls into place. Which things? No need to specify it – it is actually, great to experience either category.

Let’s start you to think about some of the new learnings you’ve had while you’ve been learning a lot about the Milton Model, I wonder what possibilities and opportunities for useful applications you can see, and what opportunities for enhancing some aspects of your hypnotic skills you’ve already became aware of?

Now notice how that last sentence didn’t specify what the learnings were, what the possibilities and opportunities were, what applications you will see, and which aspects of your hypnotic skills you want to improve, enhance and master? There is no need to, because you will already have found your own examples of each and everything in it. In fact, it doesn’t matter specifying ‘hypnotic skills’ either, cause for certain people it will be skills, for others it will be practice, and maybe some of you are communicating through graphics or through actions, and that’s what came to mind for you, now.

未指定的动词

Have you ever met someone in their job micromanaging? Unspecified verbs are the antidote to it. When someone is experienced in their job and getting good results, you don’t need to tell them exactly how to do each step in detail. They already know that. In fact, they may know better than you, as it’s their job.

So you can tell them what you want them to do, without getting too specific about how they do it. “How about we expand the sales by 50% this year?”

Another example is: “I’d like you to get at ease with the new program.”

Unspecified verbs are also a great tool for setting direction for people’s thinking. For example in sales: “Buying this machine will drastically enhance your profit” Probably you will then have to give some more information to back up the implied claim.

Here’s another example. Unspecified verbs are great for inspiring creative thinking, especially when combined with modal operators of possibility: “How can we expand revenue?” “What could help to streamline the process?”

最后但同样重要的是

A bit of summary of this post does not hurt. Today you have learnt about the Milton Model and in specific Deletion. Whenever you start practicing either the 元模型 or the 米尔顿模式, remember these two distinctions:

这元模型 seeks to bring clarity and precision to communication by challenging vagueness and identifying patterns of limiting beliefs.
这米尔顿模式, aims to bypass conscious resistance and tap into unconscious processes by using language patterns that are artfully vague and suggestive.

Always remember, to increase your efficiency as a 自然语言处理从业者, ，明确你想要传达的信息的积极意图，构建报告并且要注意你使用的语言和方式。每天都要让人们和企业比你发现他们时更好！
