Metaphorical language
Another type of language is the use of metaphors. Sometimes face a situation through a metaphor is the fastest way to help direct the change and the unconscious, without rationalization or search for reasons and explanations.
The metaphors were often part of the language of Milton Erickson during his meeting.
May suffice as a metaphor for changing the status of a person and maybe his own story.
Metaphor , from the greek "transport", ie, the metaphor helps the transport of meaning from one thing to another. In NLP metaphors and similes carry out the same function, there is "like" or that the story is parallel in meaning, the purpose of therapeutic metaphor is to suggest directly to the unconscious mind of the customer a solution that you (the unconscious mind) can then re-develop and adapt to him.
Often Milton Erickson , to help her clients develop a sense of growth in resources or answers within himself spoke of tomato plants that grow and develop, produce fruit and become tall and strong.
Other use of metaphor, more explicit and related to spatial anchors was often done by Robert Dilts , asking to find a metaphor that represents the state in trouble and then with a spatial shift, looking for a resource metaphor, then be transported in future peace future.
