COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES USED IN THE SESSION
NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMING I feel that being able to model action and effective communication are key elements in neuro-linguistic programing. NLP incorporates a set of language and sensory based interventions and behavior modification techniques intended to help improve the client’s self-awareness, confidence, communication skills, and social actions.
The main goals of NLP are to help the client to understand that the way one views the world affects how one operates in the world, and that it is necessary to change the thoughts and behavior patterns that have not proven beneficial in the past. Linguists traditionally analyze human language by observing an interplay between sound and meaning.
METAPHORIC LANGUAGE A Metaphor is a figure of speech that consists of naming, describing, or qualifying something through its similarity or analogy to something else. It’s not just about songwriting or poetry-- we use metaphors all the time. After all, we all “fall in love” or “get stuck” at some point in our lives.
Therapists often use metaphoric stories or even revisit classic tales in the therapeutic intervention. Stories bring a type of wisdom of others who have passed through this place and solved it in different ways. Telling a story is similar to saying, look there’s someone else who found this way out, why don’t you try it?
