INTRODUCTION How often do we really listen to how we say what we say? Are we aware how the structure of our language is one of the keys to our deep seated beliefs and personal rule systems? Understanding our own language patterns helps us in turn to begin to listen for the patterns of others. What is the real meaning behind the words? Skillful questioning can help to get to the root of what people are really saying, and in turn help to challenge beliefs and rules that have passed their "sell by" date, limiting ourselves and others. s
