NLP & Hypnosis: What is the Milton Model?

The video explores the Milton Model, a language technique from NLP, developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, inspired by Milton Erickson's hypnotic language. It focuses on embedding presuppositions to subtly influence understanding and reduce resistance. The video provides examples of language patterns, such as mind reading, lost performative, and double bind, to demonstrate how these techniques can facilitate change.
