NLP Perceptual Positions - also known as NLP Meta Mirror

What is Perceptual Positions or Meta Mirror in NLP?

This is a simple yet incredibly powerful technique for changing your perception or viewpoint about an experience in order to gather more information. It involves dissociating from the experience so you can get a different take on things.

In traditional NLP there are three positions, or steps, within the process. However, Robert Dilts added a 4th which some trainers do not use. At Certain Change we tend to include the 4th position as we find it beneficial but the choice, as ever, is yours.

Reasons for using Perceptual Positions

You can use perceptual positions to see the point of view of other people and to disassociate yourself from emotions that may 'cloud' your perception of a situation. For example, there may be someone at work you don't get on with particularly well. You can do the perceptual positions exercise using them in position 2.

The Steps in Perceptual Positions

There are 4 key steps, or positions, to work through:
Position 1. Through your own eyes
Position 2. Through the eyes of someone else
Position 3. Looking down on the whole scene (meta position)
Position 4. Meta to the meta position

The Process of Perceptual Positions

Position 1. Imagine standing in front of the person you don't get on with. Be yourself and tell them exactly how you feel, what you're thinking, what you think the problem is
When you have said absolutely everything you want to say move from where you were standing and break your state

Position 2. Now stand in the place you imagined the other person and take on their physiology, voice tonality and pretend to be them. This pretend version of that person has just heard everything you said to them so now is their chance to respond. Just say whatever comes. When you have said everything you want to say as that person move from where you were standing and break your state
Position

3. Now put yourself in a position where you can 'see' the interaction that went on between the two people and say what you are thinking and feeling as you look at the scene having heard what was said by both parties
When you have answered the questions about what you are thinking and feeling break state

Position 4. In this position you can gain a view on all three positions as though you were not involved at all. You can pretend to be a fly on the wall or an expert in the field of x. What would you recommend or advise you in position 1?

5. Go back to position 1 and see how you feel different now.
