NLP Fast Phobia Cure Story
How a student in NLP class overcame phobia of dogs
“It takes six months to cure a phobia using traditional psychological methods,” I explained while teaching an NLP course.
“Well, actually, it takes about a year,” corrected one of my students, - an experienced psychologist - somewhat sheepishly.
In case you don’t know, a phobia is an intense, often irrational fear of specific things, events, or situations. People can fear animals like lizards, cockroaches, or dogs, events like public speaking or going outside, or places like elevators or heights. Traditional psychology often the process of slowly exposing client to what creates fear or phobic response. This is called systematic desensitization. That’s the process my student referred to.
But with NLP, it takes about 15 minutes.
I asked if anyone in the room had a phobia, and one student said they were terrified of dogs. Phobias are great because you can easily check them before and after the treatment.
The phobia cure process involves dissociating from the fearful memory, mentally rewinding the memory in a positive state, and reintegrating the memory with a desired emotional response. This process can be completed in a single session and has been highly effective in most cases. It requires several skills such as anchoring, use of hypnotic language, hypnosis etc.
I demonstrated the process for everyone to learn and fifteen minutes later, that same person was standing calmly next to the security dog - an Alsatian 🦮 - completely phobia-free.
For someone who has lived with fear for decades, this kind of change feels life-changing - and it truly is.
Those who understand realize that NLP isn’t expensive. In fact, it’s far less costly because it saves time, eliminates the need for repeated visits, and delivers fast, lasting results.
NLP may seem like magic, but it’s not. It’s a sophisticated tool that creates magical results in the hands of a skilled practitioner.
You, too, can learn NLP with my courses and master these tools and transform lives.
