Phobias can take years to cure by other methods; the NLP phobia model, which involves dissociation and skilful use of submodality interventions, can cure phobias in one session quite easily.

The fast phobia cure is an NLP technique that is quick and effective for overcoming phobias and unpleasant feelings associated with trauma. Richard Bandler and John Grinder, the founders of NLP, developed it in 1976.
