NLP Reframing & Language Patterns 4

Question 1

A client says, 'My anxiety causes me to avoid presentations.' The Meta Model violation present is:

Accepted Answer

Complex equivalence or cause-effect

Answer

Stating that anxiety 'causes' avoidance implies a deterministic cause-effect relationship that can be questioned with 'How specifically does anxiety cause avoidance?'

Question 2

In Sleight of Mouth, the 'counter example' pattern works by:

Accepted Answer

Offering a specific instance that contradicts the limiting belief

Answer

A counter example provides one case that disproves the universal generalization embedded in a limiting belief.

Question 3

When using reframing with a client who has a phobia, the NLP practitioner's primary goal is to:

Accepted Answer

Change the meaning or context of the feared stimulus so it no longer triggers the old response

Answer

NLP reframing in phobia work (such as the Fast Phobia Cure) targets the internal representation and meaning of the stimulus, not its history.

Question 4

Which statement demonstrates the use of a 'positive opposite' reframe?

Accepted Answer

'Instead of being stuck, you are taking time to gather your thoughts.'

Answer

A positive opposite reframe restates the problem behavior using language that implies a positive, resourceful alternative meaning.

Question 5

The Milton Model phrase 'You don't have to relax too quickly' uses which pattern?

Accepted Answer

Negative command that focuses attention on the desired behavior

Answer

Saying 'don't relax too quickly' causes the listener's mind to process 'relax,' embedding the command even as it appears to negate it.
