The methods of Milton Erickson are one of the corner stones in the development and practice of Neuro Linguistic Programming. His methods allow natural and gentle communication with the unconscious mind. All thinking and learning happens unconsciously. The unconscious mind stores and can access your every experience, emotion, memory and more, while your conscious mind can deal with only 7±2 bits of information at a time.
"The Milton Model is a way of using language to induce and maintain trance in order to contact the hidden resources of our personality. It follows the way the mind works naturally. Trance is a state where you are highly motivated to learn from your unconscious in an inner directed way. It is not a passive state, nor are you under another's influence. There is co-operation between client and therapist, the client's responses letting the therapist know what to do next."
