A subjective reversal is a chaining of states. As the client accesses the resource-less state, they are immediately propelled to a more resource-full state. John and Richard apparently came up with this technique which they call collapsing anchors after their modeling of Virginia Satir. Independent of this, Dave Dobson had developed something that he calls a subjective-reversal which has similarities to this. My question to John was whether this piece of the old-NLP puzzle was in place before they met Dave. The answer was yes. Dave is both the most wonderful and the worst teacher in the world at the same time. He says, it depends on "who is in front of me". John and Richard met with him in the early days of NLP and came up with explanations of what he was doing so successfully in his practice. Dave tells of going to one of the workshops in John's house and working on one of the women there and turning around to see John and Richard as well as Judy Delozier and Leslie Cameron watching him. One of them asked, "Did you ever train with Milton?" Dave's answer was that he never met the feller. Dave is gettin kind of old and feisty and if the opportunity ever arises, it is worth training with him. He has me hooked. |
