Fast Phobia Cure – The Technique

1. Ask your client find and confront their

Phobia.

2. Have them walk into an “imaginary movie

theatre” of their mind and sit down in the
center of the front row.
3. Have them float up out of their body and
gently settle in a comfortable seat in the
balcony, so they can watch themselves
watching the screen.

4. Have them put the very beginning of their

Phobia on the screen in the form of a
colored slide. Have them run the movie of
their phobia all the way to end, as they
 remain in the balcony watching sitting in the
front row watching themselves on the
screen.

5. At the end of the movie, freeze the frame

into a slide. Change the picture to black and
white and then re-associate fully into the
picture on the screen (“walk into the movie).
Run the associated movie backwards at
triple speed or faster, with circus or
cartoon music playing, and have them freeze
- frame the image when they get to the
beginning of the movie.
 6. Have them walk out of the still picture and
sit back down in the center of the front row
of the theater, then have them white out
the entire screen.

7. Repeat steps 3-6 as necessary. Test for

the phobic response after each time
through. All throughout the process use
(presuppositions and Milton model language
patterns) to reinforce your change work.

In both methods the critical point is the dissociation from the actual
event and in fact both use the double disassociation technique. When
association is eventually imposed, it is so bizarre that the brain re-writes
the memory and unlearns the phobia as quickly as it learnt it.
Technically this is a brain re-imprinting exercise and this is best
explained in a little story.
Imagine you are walking down a road and come to a dead end. In front of
you is a large cornfield with corn grown to shoulder height. You can not
see the sides of this field nor can you see the other side. The corn is
grown right up to the fence so it is not possible to walk round the field so
you decide to walk straight across the field. It takes quite some
endeavour to trample your way across the field but with time and effort
you succeed to getting to the other side – job done.
Next day you arrive at the end of the same road and have the same task
in front of you (to get to the other side) this time it is much easier as all
you have to do is follow your tracks from yesterday. This pattern is then
repeated day after day.
So we see from this example that the first time you do something you
carve new neural pathways in your brain and this takes some energy to do.
When subjected to the same or similar situation again you will have the
tendency to go down the same (neural) pathway. This tendency is
reinforced time after time until it becomes a habit or phobic response.
Therefore to break the habit or phobic response you need to carve a new
neural pathway(s) or go down a different path. The NLP fast phobia cure
does just that - it helps you to create a new pathway a pathway that
does not include an unsuitable response to a given situation i.e. a phobia.
