The Structure of Magic I by Richard Bandler and John Grinder is a delightful simplification of the infinite complexities of the language I use with patients. In reading this book, I learned a great deal about the things that I've done without knowing about them.
Don't ask why the patient is the way he is, ask for what he would change.
Life is lived in the present and directed toward a future.
I have no intention of dying. In fact, it will be the last thing I do!
Change will lead to insight far more often than insight will lead to change.
You can pretend anything and master it.
