The Swish Pattern

It is surprisingly effective!

Good luck!

The NLP fast phobia cure is a different process from the swish pattern, I forget which books you can find it in but I'll look it up for you later at home.

As someone who's coached and seen hundreds of people go through the NLP fast phobia cure, I'd have to tell you it works for some, and not for others. I've seen it help people overcome phobias of heights, cockroaches and snakes, but nothing for others.

That's why I'd recommend working one-on-one with a (competent!) NLP practitioner if you want to go that route, because she be flexible and mix and match strategies to help you overcome your fears.
