Description:
Many people stumble through life stuck in linguistic traps which imprison them. Language influences outcomes. The words we select in working with patients have a power beyond the wildest imagination. Ambiguity is a most useful linguistic tool. It enables the listener to assign relevant meaning. The Barrettas will demonstrate and have participants experience everal hypnotically useful language patterns.
