NLP Now - The META MODEL - Complex Equivalence
COMPLEX EQUIVALENCE
The Meta Model looks at the language patterns we make, which are made at the surface level (click to read) to recover the deleted information.
A Complex Equivalence creates a conclusion which is held as true from two unrelated events.
There is nearly always the use of or a implication of the words "means that."
Statement:-
"She is going to leave me, she has not baked a chocolate cake."
Can be challenged by:-
"What makes you think not baking a cake means she will leave you, perhaps she has no flour?"
Statement:-
"You are too old, you will never learn."
Challenge:-
"Do only young people learn new things?"
Sometimes there is an overlap between Cause and Effect and Complex Equivalence. Cause and Effect has a time element or implication that will happen in the future, whereas, Complex Equivalence happens now or concurrently.
