• Lift your head and eyes upward

• Breathe 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 (double dissociation) 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.
