Critical Submodality

Critical Submodality

In Submodalities , Critical Submodalities are the difference that makes the difference.

A submodality in neuro-linguistic programming is a distinction of form or structure (rather than content ) within a sensory representational system.
NLP asserts that amongst the many possible submodalities, there will often be a handful of so-called "critical" submodalities which can functionally effect large-scale change, and that they differ between people, and can be identified by observation and inquiry. NLP states that a change within these critical submodalities will often correlate with a near-immediate subjective change in the emotion or other felt-sense with which a mental impression presents itself.

Submodalities are therefore seen in NLP as offering a valuable therapeutic insight (or metaphor ) and potential working methods, into how the human mind internally organizes and subjectively 'views' events.

Critical submodalities are the submodalitites that are most powerful in determining a person's response.
