How do I use NLP to cure a Phobia? |

Before fixing a phobia it is important to be sure that it is a phobia you are dealing with. Many people have various fears, and dislikes, but a phobia is something different. |
||
|
A phobia is much more extreme. So how do you tell the difference? How extreme is extreme enough? If, for example, you think you have a flying phobia, but can get on an airplane and fly, then you probably have a fear. If you have a spider phobia, and run shaking out of the room when a spider appears on the television, then you have a phobia. In both cases, the first step is to work out what happens in your mind when the fear/phobia begins. The worm story in the Content Lesson is a good example of the kind of process you will be running through in your mind when the phobia kicks in. |

Once you have worked out what happens in your mind then you have a decision to make as to how to resolve the issue. If the image is a moving image (likely to be classed as a phobia) then run through the phobia cure. If the image is a still image (likely to be a simple fear), then use the swish or the whiteout pattern instead. One reason for this differentiation is that the phobia cure is based around the representation being a moving image, and cannot easily be used on a still image. Coincidentally, It also seem to be the movement in the image that separates a phobia from a fear. If you have any questions concerning which exercise you should use then please email PlanetNLP. Good Luck! |
