Fast Phobia Cure
(V/K Dissociation or Rewind Technique)
called the V-K Dissociation
process, as the process removes the Kinaesthetic (feeling) from the (usually)
Visual stimulus that triggers the unconscious phobic response.
Useful for phobias,
panic attacks and PTSD events where imagining the phobia reconnects the
phobic kinesthetic experience
The fast phobia cure
is a quick and effective cure for dealing with phobias. The key strategy
is based around disassociating the visual stimuli which triggers the phobic
response from the emotions that it activates. This means that the person
can access the memories without triggering the emotional reponse of the
phobia by imagining the experience of being outside their body and looking
from a remote observer position at the event
Lift your head and
eyes upward
Breath high and shallow in your chest
Imagine you are watching
a movie of yourself in a cinema, seeing yourself in the movie
(do not experience it from your own perspective through your own eyes)
Step out of your body and move further away from the cinema screen - looking
at yourself looking at yourself
Make the visual modalities
of the movie smaller, dim, colourless, blurred, grainey with a frame around
it
Verbalise the disassociation
using 3rd person language
Create two place or
if necessary a three place disassociation (watching yourself watching
yourself)
Create an image of
the scene prior to the event which created the phobia
Run the movie of the event from the beginning to the end
Freeze a still image
after the movie of the phobia event has completed which is safe to focus
on.You will see yourself in the image.
Project yourself into
the image of you and become associated again
Now rewind the film
backwards as quickly as you can. Run sound backwards as well.
Imagery will run backwards
just as you would see whilst rewinding a video
Go back to the beginning
till you are in the safe initial frozen image
jump out of yourself
at the beginning
go forward to the
end still image (no need to rerun the film)
climb back in to the
image of yourself and rewind back to the beginning.
Jump out and go to
the end still image and rewind the movie back to the beginning.......this
should allow you to speedily erase the phobia pattern in your head if
you do this, getting quicker each rewind (6 time should be enough)
Clients have been
known to laugh as they rewind their movie.
For extreme phobias
rewind up to 20 times.
Personal history change/Timeline
techniques can also be utilised to take new knowledge and learnings back
to the traumatic event or incident by anchoring new resources to these
memories. This allows the clients perceptions and responses to the phobic
event to change by reliving the experience as if they actually had those
new resources
Final stage is to
future pace the client by getting them to imagine a future situation in
order to explore the outcome and long term effects of the process
