Sleight of mouth

Sleight of mouth was modelled by Robert Dilts from the persuasion language of skilled communicators. The fourteen patterns - including intention, redefine, consequence, counter-example, model of the world, and meta frame - each attack a limiting belief from a different angle. They work on the belief's structure rather than arguing its content. Because the patterns can feel like debating, they are used only with strong rapport and the client's consent to explore the belief.
