The worst thing in life is having a phobia or fear for something, which absolutely paralyzes you so much so, that you live a debilitated life. Luckily there is help on the horizon in the name of nlp rewind technique.
It’s not a new technique to deal with phobias, it’s such that many people are now using this and word gets around of it’s success stories. It is known as Neuro-Linguistic- Programming. In layman’s terms it is how we program our minds to believe certain things whether it was something that happened to us in the past or near past, we love to replay and replay it until we sit with a phobia which affects our life and those around us.
An interesting case surfaced the other day about a woman who was petrified to drive a car.
Janet, who is 40 years old, married with two children has never sat behind a wheel of a car because when she was a young girl she tragically lost her brother in a car accident. She was really afraid to drive because she convinced herself that she would also die if she drove a car. She would reply on many people to shuttle her back and forth in her life, but would never dare driving herself.
She has made all kinds of excuses not to drive throughout her life and depended on her husband, family members and friends to fetch the children from school and drive her to do her errands.
After a few therapy sessions, Janet was willing to try this technique as a last resort. The process necessitates rewinding her visual memory as if she was an audience member watching her own movie. This way she could observe, her own feelings and emotions as they happened. It sort of gives the patient a platform to disassociate themselves from the trauma.
Once her movie was playing, she would leave her chair and stand somewhere so that she could observe herself. She would then be able to see her reactions and facial expressions but realize that she was no longer in the movie, but just observing it from a distance. This created the important step of disassociation.
She was then gradually allowed to change the color of her movie into technicolor. This immediately brightened up the mood of the movie. She was then urged to watch her movie until the end in a position where she was not frightened because she was observing from the side lines, while rewinding and fast forwarding her movie and putting some positive scenes like music and nice objects around the actors. She started to imagine that she was driving in her little car, safe and sound while soothing music played on the radio.
She ended up with a yellow beach buggy that blared a popular song by the Beach Boys. Her fear was eliminated and replaced with the nlp rewind technique and she is now confident behind the wheel, so much so that she is hardly home any more!
