- 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.
