Here's a quote from Virginia Satir...
[list:cb23/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i19b]Words don't have any energy unless they spark or trigger an image. The word in-and-of-itself has nothing. Nothing. One of the things I keep in touch with is, "What are the words that trigger images for people?" The people follow the feeling of the image.[/list:u:cb23/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i19b]As opinion, I believe imagination is the key to answering your question. It will take all of your imagination to find the ways of communicating with the imagination of your subject.
What are the words that trigger your imagination?
When a doctor examines a patient who is experiencing pain, you know they avoid touching the exact area immediately. They start by examining an area nearby and then moving toward the correct area slowly and gently.

And here's a quote from Milton Erickson...
[list:cb23/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i19b]When do you kiss a pretty girl? When she is ready, not when you are ... You wait for that indefinable behavior that she manifests ... You don't ask a girl for a kiss, but in her presence you just gaze thoughtfully at the misletoe ... She gets the idea and she starts thinking about the kiss.[/list:u:cb23/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i19b]
