The message behind the message!

‘If you don’t stop eating sweets you will gain weight.’ They stop for some time but then they start eating again.

This above message is what we refer in Neuro Linguistic Programming as the ‘metamessage’. refers to the underlying message or meaning that is conveyed through the way language is used. It is the message behind the message, or the message that is implied rather than explicitly stated.

Meta Message is higher level messages about:

1. The type of message being sent
2. The state/status of the messenger
3. The state/status of the receiver
4. The context in that the message is being sent

For example, if someone says, "I'm not angry," but they say it with a harsh tone of voice and clenched fists, the metamessage they are sending is that they are actually very angry, despite their words.

If someone says "I'm fine" with a sad tone of voice and slumped body posture, the metamessage may be that they are not actually fine and are feeling sad or upset.?

Similarly, if someone gives a compliment but their body language appears insincere or uncomfortable, the metamessage may be that they do not truly mean what they are saying.

Metamessages can be conveyed through various aspects of communication, including tone of voice, facial expressions, body language, and the use of certain words or phrases.

In NLP, understanding the metamessages that are being communicated can help people to better understand and communicate with others, as well as to be more aware of the messages they are sending themselves.

Metamessages are important because they provide valuable information about a person's beliefs, values, and attitudes. By understanding the metamessages that people are communicating, we?can gain insight into the unconscious thoughts and motivations that drive behaviour.

By recognizing the underlying meaning of a communication, individuals can respond appropriately and avoid misunderstandings or misinterpretations.

We cover metamessages in detail at our Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) program.
