NLP Collapsing Anchors

Now that we have a general understanding of anchors, it is time to jump into the deeper water.

How do you collapse an anchor, and when would that be useful?

There are quite literally dozen of anchors that we are not even aware of, and maybe just as many that we are aware of. However, when we realize we have an anchor that we would rather not have, that is where collapsing the anchor will come in helpful.

For me, hearing the sound of people chew or sometimes even watching other people eat drives me crazy. It's like hearing nails on a chalk board, or whatever image makes your skin crawl. As you can imagine, this can be somewhat of a problem whether going out to eat, having a quiet dinner, and even seeing people eat in there car.

I have learned many different ways to deal with this problem, like not having people eat before I do because the sound of my chewing drowns out the sound of them chewing. I really don't eat at the dinner table because it is to far away from music, or TV that can drown out the sound. So, mostly we eat at the coffee table, outside, or with the music on.

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea how this got anchored, but either way at a very minimum is an annoyance, but usually it's frustrating for me. But, wouldn't be nice just to sit down and eat without having to go through this?

This is the process that a person could use to rid themselves of a negative anchor, no matter what it may be.

1. R.A.C.E. the negative anchor
Recall the anchor, Anchor to your physical body, Change emotional states, Evoke the emotion using the anchor to test and see if it worked.

2. R.A.C.E. multiple positives anchors such as love, laughter, power, gratefulness, etc in on spot. For instance, on the left thumb knuckle.

3. Break state

4. Fire both anchors off at the same time, then release the negative anchor, hold the positive anchor 5 more seconds, and check how you feel to see if the negative anchor is collapsed.
