Submodality Patterns

On pp. 244 and 265 the book mentions spontaneous submodality shifts as evidence of the effectiveness of the new code format. However, there is absolutely no mention of the many very effective patterns involving direct and rapid change of submodalities that were developed by Richard Bandler, such as the Swish, the Compulsion Blowout, the Last Straw Threshold Pattern, the Decision Destroyer—not to mention the classic submodality phobia cure utilizing double dissociation.

There is also no mention whatsoever of the submodality patterns that Connirae and I developed for anger/forgiveness, shame, guilt, adjusting criteria, responding to criticism, internal/external reference, and aligning perceptual positions.

Since the book proposes a single change format for all change work as an improvement over other NLP methods, I would have appreciated at least some examples or discussion comparing the results of the new code approach with more specific patterns, with specific follow-up reports of the resulting changes. Is the new code format actually more effective with phobias than the classic V-K dissociation? Does it work better to teach someone how to spell? Is it really more effective for a compulsion, or grief, or shame than the specific submodality methods? Personally, I doubt it, but I’m quite willing to be shown.
