I note with interest that Ian Sample, science correspondent for the guardian.co.uk, has reported that Scientists at New York University have found peoples’ memories could be rewritten after being recalled. While this may be a surprise to the researchers, led by Elizabeth Phelps, it comes as no surprise to NLP master practitioners!
This is a technique we use to re-pattern the neurology of a client in a number of different interventions, to achieve spectacular results; for example:
- Phobia Elimination
- Memory revisiting to remove a limiting decision
- Removing performance anxiety caused by past failures
- Changing a like to a dislike – say to avoid overeating a particular food
- Revisiting past events to take new meanings
As reported today in the article entitled Memories can be ‘rewritten’ to make them less traumatic Ian records:
In a breakthrough that has major implications for treating phobias and anxiety disorders, psychologists have helped people conquer their fears by “rewriting” their memories to make them less traumatic.
The therapy takes advantage of the discovery that human memories can be modified and made less frightening if they are manipulated soon after they are retrieved. They have concluded that invasive techniques and pharmacological interventions may not be necessary.
According to the university researchers who carried out the conditioning experiment, the best results occur when the memory is rewritten between three minutes and six hours after recalling. This is why a reprogramming session can make such a difference in a very short time. Once the memory has been revisited, it is ripe for changing so that it is no longer a block to performance.
