Milton Model

The Milton Model is a communication framework based on techniques developed by Milton Erickson, a renowned therapist. It uses carefully structured language patterns to influence thoughts and feelings subtly, often used in therapy or persuasion. By employing vague, indirect, and suggestive language—like metaphors, implied meanings, and open-ended phrases—it guides listeners towards desired outcomes without resistance. Essentially, it helps create rapport, access the subconscious mind, and facilitate change or agreement through skillful, ethical language use.
