Know Your Filters!

from Empower Your Life with Dr. Matt James

Dr. Matt James is deep into Trainers Training with a room full of soon-to-be NLP trainers and today’s topic came straight from watching them work through filter patterns.   Here’s the thing: if you don’t know your own filter pattern, you can’t tell someone else what you actually need to understand something deeply. Dr. James shares his own daughter’s story. She thought she was “dumb” in school simply because she’s a detailed, literal listener and processed information differently than how it was taught. Once she learned her filter pattern, she realized she was never the problem… she just filters differently.   At the Master Practitioner level, students learn all 22 major filter patterns — including one simple one Dr. James shares here: big picture vs. detail. He’s big picture, his wife is detail-oriented. Instead of that becoming a source of conflict, understanding each other’s filters means he gives her the details she needs, and she gives him space to stay big picture.   Different people think differently and that’s something to celebrate, not fight.   Want to learn all 22 filter patterns and transform how you communicate?
