Milton Erickson was one of the most important and gifted hypnotherapists of the 20th century. He could get people to change their thinking patterns just by talking to them. Had he been a salesmen, he would have been able to sell ice to eskimos!
When Bandler and Grinder developped NLP, they observed Milton to discover how he did it. Then they modelled him, and the “Milton Model” was born.
Yes, Erickson was a medical doctor and a hypnotherapist, but don’t be mistaken, these patterns have fantastic power in every areas of life, including business!
There are 3 files for you to listen/watch:
A short Introduction MP3 which explains what the Milton Model is all about.
A video which goes through each pattern, explains what they are and gives you an example (you do not need to remember the names, just understand the patterns!)
Another MP3 where you’ll hear how to put all the patterns together (do not listen to this while driving or doing any activity that requires your conscious attention).
The SECRET with Milton patterns is to REHEARSE them!
