NLP Reframing & Language Patterns 3

Question 1

In the Sleight of Mouth patterns, 'chunking up' means:

Accepted Answer

Moving to a higher level of abstraction to find broader agreement

Answer

Chunking up moves from the specific to the general, finding a higher-level intention or value that reframes the limiting belief.

Question 2

A client insists 'Asking for help is a sign of weakness.' Using the Sleight of Mouth pattern of 'apply to self,' a coach might say:

Accepted Answer

'Is your belief that asking for help is weak itself a sign of weakness?'

Answer

The 'apply to self' pattern turns the belief back on itself to reveal an internal inconsistency.

Question 3

Which Milton Model pattern does 'You may find yourself becoming more relaxed as you listen' exemplify?

Accepted Answer

Presupposition

Answer

This sentence presupposes that relaxation will occur, embedding the suggestion as an assumed fact rather than a direct command.

Question 4

Bandler and Grinder's Six-Step Reframe differs from simple reframing because it:

Accepted Answer

Negotiates directly with the unconscious part driving the unwanted behavior

Answer

The Six-Step Reframe communicates with the unconscious part responsible for a behavior to find alternative ways to meet the same positive intention.

Question 5

A 'lost performative' in the Milton Model is best described as:

Accepted Answer

A value judgment stated as fact with the speaker deleted

Answer

Lost performatives state evaluative claims (e.g., 'It's good to be curious') without identifying who is making the judgment, lending them universal authority.
