subject: Fast Phobia Cure [print this page] In a Recent NLP Training Course, one simple technique stopped a womans phobia of dogs in its paw-printed tracks!
BY KEVIN COLE
As a Life Coach and NLP Master Practitioner/Trainer, I believe clients can and should avoid pain, and enjoy pleasure in the healing process. With the techniques of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), I am able to assist them in doing just that. Nicole, a student who entered my San Diego NLP training course in July, 2010, is just one of many examples of a life that was dramatically changed through a simple visualization technique. In just 5 minutes, she was able to get over a 37-year-old phobia of dogs.
The technique I used was simple and fast, hence, the name The Fast Phobia Cure. It doesnt always take five minutes and depending on the situation, it can take up to a few sessions, but its usually very fast and one session usually gets the job done. There are also other factors, the most important being the mindset of the client.
Nicole admitted she had been skeptical at first. Kevin and I had discussed my phobia of dogs before I came in to the course, and he told me that in general, the more intense the phobia, the easier it is to get rid of. He was right!
After going through this simple visualization technique, another student brought in his dog, Tika. According to Nicole, Tika was mellow. Over the weekend, however, she went to the home of another student with a dog much more like the kind she was most afraid of. If anyone in that class had ever seen me before the fast phobia cure, they really would have noticed a difference. I had been afraid of dogs for most of my life, and it is still so amazing to me that I dont jump out of my skin when a dog enters a room.
Nicole still doesnt plan on getting a pet in the near future, but now enjoys social situations where dogs are present in a much more relaxed manner.
This is just one example of how NLP techniques can change lives, even those of people who are often assumed to be non-visual learners. Did I mention Nicole happens to be blind and has been since birth?
Naturally, several friends and family members have since asked her if shell get a guide dog. I dont rule anything out, but I dont think so, she says. Guide dogs take up so much more time than a pet does, and Im not one to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to walk a dog. Its kinda like raising a kid, and Im already raising one.
The Fast Phobia Cure is just one of many potentially life-changing techniques you can learn in an NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner training course. Even if you dont aspire to be a hypno-therapist or life coach, these courses are an excellent way to invest in your own personal development.
