Pacing
Also known as mirroring.
Matching someone's behavior, breathing, posture and language to gain rapport.
Parts
A way of talking about different programs of behavior or strategies.
i.e. One part of a client wants to go out and meet someone, but another part is scared of rejection.
Position / Perceptional Position
A specific point of view or perspective. In NLP there are three positions:
Phonological Ambiguity
Words that sound the same but have different meanings. For example - no and know, as in 'I think you've had this problem long enough -No more'
Predicates
Words used to describe events. In NLP these are used to identify which representational system is being used. i.e. 'that sounds right to me' implies the auditory representational system.
Preferred Representational System
The representational system that someone relies on the most, or is their most developed.
Presupposition
Anything that must be assumed for a statement to make sense. For instance in the sentence 'The cat sat on the mat', we must assume that there is a cat, a mat, and it is possible for a cat to sit on a mat. In hypnosis, the hypnotist will often presuppose something necessary for the required change to occur. i.e.
Punctuation Ambiguity
Usually punctuation ambiguity occurs when two sentences are merged together. For instance the sentence 'I want you to remember a time when you could relax deeply now into a comfortable state of mind'.
