NLP stands for neuro linguistic programming (I believe). What you want to do is imagine this guy in your mind. chances are that when you do so you'll start to feel nervous and threatened. Now, piece by piece you're going to change the image. First, make it black and white. Next make it really small, like the size of your thumbnail. That will probably take much of the edge off right there. Imagine yourself standing very tall over his little thumbnail sized body. You know you could squish him under your foot if you wanted to.

Now, in this mode, with this image in your head, tell him you don't want any more contact with him, that your relationship is over.

You can do it! Good luck!
That's actually really interesting. I just tried that on something completely different (one of my fears) and it kind of helped me. Intriguing, this could be a useful tool.
