Visual/Kinesthetic Dissociation

From The Graham English Wiki

  • Visual/kinesthetic dissociation separates the feelings from the pictures so you can come to terms with both. It has been used successfully for dealing with:
    • accidents and injuries
    • phobias
    • post-traumatic stress disorders
    • traumatized war victims
    • emotional and sexual abuse
  • The main steps are:
    • Gain rapport with your client and pace their experience.
    • Establish a "bail out" saftey anchor that they can use if the experience becomes too much.
    • Help them to dissociate from the picture and shift the critical submodalities that give it such power.
    • Disrupt the memory by changing the submodalities and helping them to watch the even again dissociated, so they can learn from the memory.
    • Find the right resource in that situation and bring it into the experience.
    • Future pace.
