Terry – Conversational Collapse Anchors
Salepage : Terry – Conversational Collapse Anchors
Collapsing Anchors is an effective NLP technique for releasing bad feelings or emotions. If you wish to get rid of a negative state, such as wrath, worry, or aggravation, you’ve come to the correct spot.
The benefit of collapsing anchors is that you not only eliminate a bad emotion, but you also replace it with a more useful state, such as calm, confidence, enjoyment, or laughing. This implies that when you come into a circumstance that used to bother you, you not only avoid a negative reaction, but you actually respond favorably to it!
Is it too wonderful to be true? It simply takes 10 minutes to try it out. Please keep in mind, however, that this tutorial assumes you have a strong working grasp of anchoring. Please read and practice NLP Anchors first if you want to review how to achieve this.
Preparation for Collapsing Anchors
When collapsing anchors, the first step is to define the negative state to be collapsed. Choose a particular circumstance that leads you to react adversely, since this will be more effective. Choose a recollection of a specific colleague who irritates you at work, a specific portion of your day that irritates you, or the way you react if you arrive home from work and your housemate has left the place in a tip. I’m confident an acceptable reaction will occur to you.
Next, select the positive state you want to install instead. As previously said, favorable moods for this include enjoyment, relaxation, and outbursts of laughing. Again, pick a specific period when you were in this condition, or for optimal results, pick a few examples of times when you were in this state, and we’ll tie them all together in a minute.
Please keep in mind that your positive state must be stronger than your negative state for this approach to operate properly.
That’s all there is to it for the setup – this is a great and straightforward strategy.
Set the Anchors for Collapsing Anchors
First, anchor the negative state by rubbing your left thumb and finger together while you recall the experience. When you do this, make sure you are completely attached, which includes seeing the experience through your own eyes, feeling what you felt, and hearing what you heard.
(PS – For a refresher on anchoring, see NLP Anchors.)
Remember to keep this memory as it is. Don’t make the sensations any stronger (or weaker). Do this only once. At the pinnacle of the emotion, let go of the anchor.
Then, for 30 seconds, break state by doing anything different. Perform a hymn. Create a poem. Have a good time dancing. It’s all up to you.
Rub your thumb and finger together to test your anchor. If the anchor was successful, you will feel the negative condition return.
Break state once more. There’s no need to exaggerate the negative aspects of this.
Now comes the exciting part: it’s time to solidify the good state. Begin by identifying with the happy memory and seeing what you saw, hearing what you heard, and feeling what you felt. Increase the size, brightness, color, and vibrancy of the image. Bring it closer to you and immerse yourself in all of these good emotions. Laugh aloud… Giggle… Smile… Do whatever it takes to make yourself happy.
While experiencing all of the wonderful emotions, anchor the positive mood by rubbing your right thumb and finger together (using different hands uses the different hemispheres of the brain, making it easier to integrate your states). When the emotion is at its pinnacle, let go of the anchor.
Break the state for 30 seconds before repeating the previous stages by anchoring a new memory of the same pleasant emotion (preferred) or the same memory again. Anchor using the same thumb/finger combination. Make yourself as happy as possible. Repeat 2-3 times more. Have fun while you’re at it!
Break state again, and then put your positive anchor to the test. If you’ve done it correctly, you’ll feel as if you’ve taken a bunch of joyful medicines. It’s now time for anchors to collapse.
Anchors Collapsing – Time to Collapse!
To collapse your anchor, rub the thumbs and fingers of both hands together and shoot off the positive and negative anchors at the same moment.
The next 30 seconds to 2 minutes of your life are going to be strange. When you do this, your brain begins to combine the two situations. This may seem unusual at first, almost like an internal short-circuit in your brain, and you may have slight bewilderment.
However, if you continue to grasp the anchors, you will soon be free of all bad emotions and begin to feel the full strength of good emotions.
When you feel the anchors have collapsed – that is, when you feel wonderful – let go of the negative anchor while holding on to the positive anchor for another 5-10 seconds.
Now, get up – and take off that foolish grin:-)
Test and “future pace” the success of the collapsing anchors approach by visualizing a moment in the future when you will have to confront the item that previously made you feel bad. If it succeeded, note how different you feel… and try not to laugh!
