Hi Jeisyn, Thanks for sharing your diagram, I found it very useful! Getting very left-brained and pedantic, I would say that your diagram is more a flow-chart than a state-diagram. But that in no way diminishes its usefulness, and that's purely my opinion.  :-) I've been turning this one over and over in my mind, and I have some first tentative thoughts as to how one might represent the 6 Step Reframe as a state-diagram, but they're only half-formed, so I'd appreciate your comments (and anyone else's)! At a high level, I think there are 3 overall states involved (each of which might contain several sub-states) - 1. The "Problem" Context - the behaviour to be changed. From my limited understanding, I think you only step into this state very briefly, just long enough to establish the parameters for the session - so that your conscious and unconscious both know what they are working on. It might be useful to generalise this and call it something like the "Context Identification State" - this helps to define the purpose of this state, and also suggests that there may be several different methods for achieving it, as long as the outcome is a definition of the context we are working on. 2. The "Negotiation with Unconscious" State - you could say that one goes into this state 3 times (steps 3, 4, and 5 on page 216 of WITW), or you could say that you enter into one conversation with your Unconscious, for which you have 3 desired outcomes (one of which, step 4, involves calling on the "brainstorming" sub-pattern which we also use in other patterns). If we generalise it as one conversation with the Unconscious, we can then use techniques from the "Conversation" pattern we developed previously. 3. The "Ecology Check" State - this is something I've seen mentioned often in NLP, so perhaps it's again useful to generalise it, to specify its purpose, and then to list different methods for doing it? You've probably noticed I've missed step 2! I think you could argue that there is a state called "Establishing Communication with the Unconscious", but you could equally argue that this is actually a transition, from the previous state, into the "Negotiation with Unconscious" state. People who already have a well-established method for communicating with their unconscious will make this transition quite easily, whereas others would find it helpful to think of it as a separate state, containing the procedural steps you show in your diagram. I hope that makes sense, and starts to show how the concepts of generalisation and re-usability that Michael V mentioned could be useful? If I'm going wildly off-track here, can someone please shut me up?  :-) Cheers, Jon
