The worst thing in life is having a phobia or fear for something, which absolutely paralyzes you so much so, that you live a debilitated life. Luckily there is help on the horizon in the name of nlp rewind technique.

It has been around for a while and is very popular with modern doctors today. The word NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming which helps us to visualize, rewind and correct the problems we face with fears and phobias. Researchers and doctors alike say that we fixate on a trauma by replaying it over and over in our minds until the past event is now in our present always.

Let’s briefly look at a case study recently brought to the fore:

Janet, who is 40 years old, married with two children has never sat behind a wheel of a car because when she was a young girl she tragically lost her brother in a car accident. She was really afraid to drive because she convinced herself that she would also die if she drove a car. She would reply on many people to shuttle her back and forth in her life, but would never dare driving herself.

She finally realized that she had to be mobile and and went to see a therapist who was well rehearsed with the rewind technique. I will endeavor to share her story with you summarized of course:

After a few therapy sessions, Janet was willing to try this technique as a last resort. The process necessitates rewinding her visual memory as if she was an audience member watching her own movie. This way she could observe, her own feelings and emotions as they happened. It sort of gives the patient a platform to disassociate themselves from the trauma.

Once this memory would manifest, she was then asked to get up from her chair and stand in a spot where she could observe herself watching her movie. It was sort of an out of body visualization technique. She would then have to observe her feelings, emotions and facial expressions in detail.

Second, she was asked to gradually change her movie the way she would like it to be. She changed her movie to technicolor, she added upbeat music and she changed actors around until she was happy with the scene. She then started rewinding the event and every time adding some positive action or object until she was left with a funny or acceptable outcome.

She ended up with a yellow beach buggy that blared a popular song by the Beach Boys. Her fear was eliminated and replaced with the nlp rewind technique and she is now confident behind the wheel, so much so that she is hardly home any more!
