A fast phobia cure is a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) technique, also called the Rewind Technique or Visual-Kinaesthetic Dissociation Technique, that deconditions phobias by replaying the phobic memory in a dissociated state. The process involves imagining watching a black and white movie of the phobic memory from a distance, then “rewinding” it rapidly while associating it with positive music. This disrupts the brain’s emotional response to the trigger. While the technique offers rapid results and is non-invasive, it’s recommended to work with a qualified NLP practitioner or therapist for best results.
The Fast Phobia Cure Process
- Identify the Phobia: Pinpoint the specific trigger or memory that causes the phobic reaction.
- Create a Mental Movie: Imagine a comfortable, familiar place, like a movie theater, to watch the phobic memory.
- Dissociate from the Experience: Move to a projection booth or the back row of the theater to view the memory as a detached, external event.
- Turn the Memory Black and White: The memory is visualized in a black and white, distorted image.
- Rewind the Memory: Mentally play the black and white movie of the phobia backwards at a very fast speed.
- Add a Soundtrack: Incorporate positive, upbeat music or other pleasing sounds during the backward playback.
- Play Forward in Color: After rewinding, visualize the memory playing forward normally, but this time in color, while you remain in your dissociated state.
- Confront in Imagination: Imagine confronting the phobic trigger, observing that the fear has changed and you can react differently.
How it Works
- Disassociation: The technique helps you detach from the emotional intensity of the phobic memory, preventing the usual fight-or-flight response.
- Sensory Alteration: By changing the visual (black and white) and auditory (music) elements of the memory, the technique “rewires” the brain’s association with the phobic trigger.
- Rapid Unlearning: Playing the memory backwards and replaying it normally in color with new sensory input helps to break the automatic, conditioned response to the fear.
Important Considerations
- Professional Guidance: A qualified NLP practitioner or therapist can guide you through the process, ensuring it’s adapted to your specific needs.
- Effectiveness: While many people experience significant relief, the technique may not be suitable for everyone.
- Empowerment: The technique empowers individuals to actively change their reactions to past fears and regain control over their lives.
