We can talk about phobias until the cows come home. We all have them and sometimes are stuck with them to such an extent that they destroy our chances of being happy. To the end, there is a glimmer of hope by using the nlp rewind technique.
NLP or it's full name; Neuro-Linguistic-Programming as been around for a long time, but has only been used productively in the past few years. Research has found that we tend to replay the problem in our minds over and over again until we cannot differentiate between past and present. What might have happened to us in the past has somehow jumped into our present in a very real and frightening way. Hence the anxiousness and sweaty palms and even heart palpitations manifest at the slightest recall.
Let's briefly look at a case study recently brought to the fore:
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.
At the beginning of the session she was asked to relax and do some breathing exercises. When she felt totally relaxed the therapist instructed her to visualize a cinema with a comfortable seats, a big screen, lots of popcorn and candy around her and that she is going to star in a fantastic movie. This movie is going to be about her trauma and it will be in lots of detail. She also had to make her movie in black and white so the mind can relate to the old problem. She was then asked to start the movie with her first memory of the accident.
Once this memory would manifest, she was then asked to get up from her chair and stand in a spot where she could observe herself watching her movie. It was sort of an out of body visualization technique. She would then have to observe her feelings, emotions and facial expressions in detail.
Second, she was asked to gradually change her movie the way she would like it to be. She changed her movie to technicolor, she added upbeat music and she changed actors around until she was happy with the scene. She then started rewinding the event and every time adding some positive action or object until she was left with a funny or acceptable outcome.
She was in control and nothing bad happened in her new movie. She repeated the rewinding a few times and has successfully taken her drivers test and is now mobile for the first time in her life, by applying the nlp rewind technique and changing her future for the better. - 31985
