There is nothing worse than being scared of something so much that it takes hold of your life in all its facets. It sometimes leads to anxiety, depression and a feeling of dread all day long. Or maybe you have a phobia that really creates all sorts of problems in your workplace. It is possible to get help quickly and in this article we will endeavor to offer some reprieve by explaining 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 look at a report recently brought to our attention:
Janet is a 40 year old mother of two and wonderfully happy. Her husband as a great job and her children are excelling at school. Janet has just one problem though, she cannot drive a car. You see her her little brother died in a car crash when she was also just a toddler, and seems to think that she will also die if she drives car.
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.
First she would imagine herself in a cinema with a large screen. She is comfortable, calm and feeling really relaxed. She would then start her movie with various actors playing various parts. Her movie would be in black and white as to give it an old look. She would imagine exactly where the accident happened and recall all her memories of the event in graphic detail.
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.
Her movie ended with her driving a yellow beach buggy on a warm sunny day with a song the Beach Boys sang so well. The nlp rewind technique helped her and she is now mobile and confident behind the wheel. - 31857
