For a Chinese person, there is no failure. They take every opportunity to learn. If the knowledge can’t be used by the current generation, the next one will utilize it.

Within the NLP model, there is an important presupposition about this topic.

Feedback versus Failure.

All results and behaviors are something achieved, regardless of whether they were the desired outcome or not.

The Format

The “Failure into Feedback Strategy” is used to stop repeated failures in attempts to achieve a particular goal.

Standard Steps:

• Generalized Problem
• Synesthesia
• Resolve Synesthesia
• Reevaluate
• Goal
• Establish
• Reference Experience for Feedback
• Submodalities
• Test

Detailed Description:

1. Generalized Problem
   Person A keeps failing while attempting to achieve something specific.
   “You have this issue or this goal, but so far you have been unable to reach it. You feel like giving up—or maybe you already have.”
2. Synesthesia
   Constraining synesthesia in the representation of failure.
   “When you form an image of failure, how does it appear?”
   → Here, you inquire about the micro-strategy of failure and look for synesthesia. Pay attention to eye positions reflecting it.
3. Resolve Synesthesia
   Separate the linked representation (for example V/K) and bring each to the correct eye position.
   “Could you picture the image again while looking up to your left?” (Ve)
   “And now, while you listen, keep your eyes at left eye level.” (Ae)
4. Reevaluate
   Reevaluate the failure.
   For example, look for positive elements or information that can help achieve the goal.
   “Are there any positive aspects in not having reached that goal?”
   “Or can you see particular patterns in it that might show you a path to eventually reaching the goal?”
5. Goal
   Redefine the goal using the new information.
   “With this information, can you construct a new goal image?”
   “… And supplement it with any auditory details?”
6. Establish
   Person A alternates between the old and new goal representation to gain resources and identify intermediate steps.
   “Now picture both the old and the new image, switching back and forth.”
   “What information do you get about resources or a new path to the goal?”
7. Reference Experience for Feedback
   Person A identifies a different, as yet unachieved goal they are sure they will reach.
   “Is there a goal you are certain you’ll achieve, even though you’re not quite there yet?”
   “Which image and sounds do you associate with that goal?”
8. Submodalities
   Compare and align submodalities between the new goal representation and the reference experience (physiology, eye movement, submodalities).
   “When you compare your new goal image with the image of the goal you’re confident about, what’s different?”
   “Now please make your new goal image the same as your confidence image.”
9. Test
   Check the outcome.
   “How do you feel now about the old goal and the ‘failure’?”

Summary

Format suitable for:
repeated failure when attempting to achieve something, leading to wanting to give up.

Format in contrast to:
“Failure into Feedback Technique,” which addresses a single instance of failure and aims to use it as feedback for future behavior.

Format Pitfalls:
No synesthesia is present.

Format Notes:
This approach assumes that synesthesia (for example, describing an image but with eye movement that matches Auditory or Kinesthetic patterns) is key to repeated failure.
By resolving the synesthesia and aligning the representational systems with appropriate eye movements, access to new resources is enabled.
