GRIT Technique and Symbolic NLP

The GRIT (Goal Repetition Induction Technique) technique is as follows:

• Ask your client about their goals, get some good words and tonality supporting the goal.
• Have the client distill the goal down into a single sentence. Make sure it is sensory and/or metaphorical to involve the right brain or unconscious mind, whichever metaphor rocks your boat (or as my wonderful teacher Melissa Tiers says "to squeeze some juice"). In any case ensure the sentence resonates with the client.
• Ask the client to repeat the sentence one word-one breath
• Repeat the sentence after the client, one word at a time. 
• Begin to mix up the order or combination of words, to create new associations, connections and ambiguity 

So what has this got to do with symbolic NLP? Well, if we accept that the words, pictures, and feelings we experience cybernetically create our inner experience, then the words the client selects are going to light up the rest of their inner experience. Repeating these words and phrases creates trance while lighting up these specific circuits.
