NLP Transderivational Search.

NLP Transderivational Search

 

Transderivational search or TDS is a term used when one tries to find the meaning of ambiguous or incomplete statements.  When a message is unclear, we try to supply the missing information from our own knowledge and experience to give it meaning.  The state of confusion that is experienced while the search for meaning is being carried out puts the person in a mild state of trance.  NLP practitioners use this to put their clients in a hypnotic state by deliberately uttering ambiguous statements.  Milton Ericson was a master at this technique.

1. Leading statements.  These statements introduce an uncertain scenario that triggers your imagination to try and complete the whole picture.  It initiates a mood without a full explanation then leaves your brain to process the whole idea and find meaning to it.  Here are some examples.

A. "The varying shades of paint."  Hearing this, your mind will begin exploring all the possible colors that paint can come in.  The setup and scope of paint and color has been created without fully showing the exact shades, which will lead you to wonder which particular shades are being referred to.

B. "What you said last night."  The vagueness will let the mind cover everything that occurred within the parameters set by the statement.  It considers the words and the time frame then seeks internally all the ideas that may be important and relevant to the discussion at hand.  One by one, the mind will eliminate unimportant ideas to try and narrow down to the contextual meaning of the sentence.

C. "You forgot."  The aspect of wondering is still present as the mind searches stored information and memory.  You attempt to know the exact object, event, place or person that may have been forgotten.  The use of these types of statements is very powerful for manipulation of others.

2. Textual ambiguity.  Ambiguity may stem from not understanding a combination of words, not understanding the contextual meaning of terms or not hearing the words properly.  "Has there been sack jumping down the penny lane?"  Upon hearing this ambiguous statement, your mind will begin to interpret it as a whole or only by the terms that it can understand.
