NLP Rewind Technique - Take Charge Of Your Life Now!

By Trevor Johnson

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:

A 40 year old mother of two Janet, lives with the fear of driving a car. She is otherwise happy and content but has never sat behind wheel of a car. She relied on many people to assist her with her errands and especially getting her children from A to B. She lost her young brother in a tragic car accident and is convinced that she will also die if she drives a 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.

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. - 31969
