Breaking a negative anchor

[dominick]

I know a lot has been written about how to foster positive anchors. However I'm curious about the best way to break a negative anchor. If you have linked up a certain thing to a negative emotion or thought, how do you un-link them? This seems really hard because it seems as if the more you try to consciously un-link them, the stronger the association becomes?

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've read a lot of self-help stuff and don't know that I've come across any powerful techniques for doing this.

my experience:
working on BOTH aspects simultaneously (...of course, since everything is simultaneous )

1- fostering positive anchor: recreate your Reality (mainly on the "Ethereal" Plane desire/vibrational shift etc)
2- breaking negative anchors: FACE YOUR FEARS HEAD ON on the "physical" Plane

the higher your level of Consciousness, the less you need direct "physical" action
the ratio Ethereal/Physical action is dependent on your Awareness

Thanks Vartann. A few follow up questions:

1. Do you happen to know the specific Steve article or articles that cover this?

2. The part about higher consciousness makes sense. However I'm quite sure how facing fears head on works. My fears right now all stem from a fear of doing something that's in conflict with my value system. This comes out of a kind of negative spiral belief around the Law of Attraction. I feel that if I have this negative anchor and it produces thoughts of doing something I don't want to do then the more I think about it the more likely it is happen. The more I try not to think about it the harder it is not to think about it.

3. Ultimately I think this might simply be a form of obsessive compulsive disorder (around thought rather than around action) brought on by high levels of anxiety. It's something that I haven't seen talked about too much here so I'm curious if there are any good places to read up more on this.
