Default How to dismantle the threat response?

I'm a big fan of Phillip J Eby's writings. He seems to have a lot of insight into how the mind works. I've been plugging the article at Backpedalling Your Brain (dirtSimple.org) a lot lately, because it strongly feels like Truth to me - but I don't know how to put it into practical effect.

Phillip has a very 'upselling' model (he takes the position that people will value it more if they pay for it, which has some merit) and his keen insights tend to be followed by a big empty space re: application.

So I was hoping someone here could help me - how do you mentally 'deprogram' things that are perceived by your subconscious as threats that are holding you back? Phillip (and his testimonials) imply that it's a quick process, not one of extended affirmations etc. He also indicates that positive affirmations only really work once you've "deleted" negative "programs" that would block their absorption. It sounds like deleting particular emotional associations.

Does anyone here have an idea about what he's talking about and how to do it?

Thanks.

P.S. The Multiple Self (dirtSimple.org) is also pertinent.
