CAN YOU RUN A PATTERN?

Last week I had the privilege and opportunity to do our very first Assessment for Meta- Counseling. What that assessment comes down to is running a pattern. And given the Meta- Counseling Manual, we are just talking about a dozen patterns. That makes the key question for passing the assessment this: “Can you run a pattern?”

Actually, this is the question we work on every year in NSTT. There each trainer takes one pattern and learns it inside-out. Over the days the trainer then practices presenting parts of the pattern including demonstrating how to do the pattern. By the end, each trainer knows one section of APG thoroughly and knows how to run the pattern of that section. Ideally, people should learn the same thing in NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner.
