Let me know in the comments what patterns you’d like to master.
Don’t limit yourself to NLP therapeutic patterns.
What skills would you like to develop? What results would you like to be able to produce in your life?
Let me know and I’ll get some patterns and models up for you on the blog.

I’d benefit from a model that facilitated learning which patterns to apply to a given situation. Swish, reframe, metaphor, like/dislike, anchoring, synethesia or timeline work… I feel like I have lists in my head that have to be reverse engineered each time I’m faced with a different scenario.
As an EMT we had a comprehensive procedure to determine the appropriate action: A-B-C… Airway, Breathing, Circulation, etc. until the patient is ready to move to the next level of care. Is there something like that for NLP or do you have to go down the list of patterns and try them until something sticks? A model for that would be good if there’s not one already.
Now that I think of it, doesn’t that process happen anytime you go from conscious incompetence to unconscious competence? It’s the bridge between theory and application. Can there be a model for that or does it just take practice?
Hey Louis,
Great question! I’d say there definitely exists a model that facilitates learning which patterns to apply to a given situation.
I’d point out that that model will differ from context to context.
For instance, a therapeutic context will require a specific model. A persuasive context will require a specific model. A coaching context will require a specific model.
You really need to know what your outcome is first. Based on that, you can access a specific map that will help get you there.
Steve Andreas definitely has such a model for therapy. Kenrick definitely has one for persuasion. Ross definitely has one for seduction.
Context is critical. Which context did you have in mind when you wrote your comment?
