NLP Techniques - Collapsing Anchors

[@selflovingsensitive]

This was great! I really appreciate the metaphor you used at the end with the life preserver to explain the results of this technique from another perspective. It really helped me understand more deeply.

[@DamonCart]

Glad it was helpful.

[@tatiana-mindfool]

This is a great, clear, specific explanation of how to collapse anchors that anyone can do by themselves. Awesome job, thank you so much.

[@DamonCart]

You're very welcome.

[@laurahoag-diaz.nlpcoach9636]

I have used this with my clients... as I coach over the phone.... and I did not learn this in my practitioners unless you are with the person. I appreciate that you have explained it specifically ..... great job... and yes!! it works well with phone clients. Thank you!!

[@DamonCart]

You're welcome. Thank you for commenting.

I just found you today. I like your clarity. In 1984 I attended an NLP seminar for therapists. I was one of the only people there who was not a therapist. At some point in the seminar they got into groups of 4 to practice this collapsing anchors technique. I was at my wits end in my marriage. I did not know what to do. The person working with me anchored the negative, then the positive, when they triggered the anchors it was like an explosion in my brain. I'll never forget it. I felt the weight of the world fall off me. I felt lighter. In that moment I became a NLP student. I feel like I was reborn in that moment. I found you because I have a close friend who is at his wits end regarding being fat. I don't practice NLP regularly, but I know I can assist my friend in a powerful way with NLP. Any advice?

[@DamonCart]

Thank you for tuning in. That's a huge question. Without knowing anything about your friend it's hard to give anything but vague advice. My channel has over 300 videos and a lot of these videos are about how to use various NLP techniques. Start trying them with your friend and keep at it until you find something that works. Even if none of them work you will have cultivated NLP skill that you can apply to your own life and with others.

[@CharlesAltman]

Yesterday I asked you a question, today, I want to acknowledge you for what you are doing with these NLP video's. I am an AV geek, and I like the content, but I really like your video production skills. Do you do it all yourself or are you working with a team?

[@DamonCart]

Thank you. I do it all myself. It helps that I went to film school.

[@bonjourberlin8269]

Very clean explanation, thank you!

[@DamonCart]

Thank you. Did you try it?

[@bonjourberlin8269]

@@DamonCart Not yet, but it's on my TO DO list :-)

[@tatianapouladian7901]

I need to do this for 6 PM! I had great state connected to 6 PM but, without going into detail, I have a very negative state connected to the end of work day. Thank you for this.

[@DamonCart]

You're welcome.

[@RayReklaw7993]

Lovely technique. Thank you sir.

[@DamonCart]

Thank you

[@Ghev4834]

Damon can you explain the NLP technique where 2 x’s are painted on the ground in order to shift states?

[@DamonCart]

That could be many different NLP techniques. Can you tell me more about what you're wanting to do? What outcome do you want?

[@MissAMA1985]

How is floor anchoring compared to anchoring onto knuckles for example ?

[@DamonCart]

The process and the theory behind them are essentially the same. It's more a question of what is the purpose of the anchoring. If you're wanting to have an anchor ready to put you in a certain state at will, anchoring on your body where it's easy for you to reach and also won't be triggered too often, your knuckles would be appropriate. If you're doing change work on yourself like collapsing anchors, floor anchors are easy to use and anchoring on the body isn't necessary.

[@inatorquoisemood93]

Very interesting, thank you - if one practices these anchors using the floor in ones bedroom, does it mean you have to be in your bedroom to access the anchor?

[@DamonCart]

Floor anchors are more for resolving problems. If you want to take the state with you, anchor yourself as well. I find squeezing my wrist creates a nice anchor that can be used anywhere.

[@berenicedavey7407]

That was excellent. Thanks. Can you say more about how you use and set the "lifebelt" to automatically lift you out of the crashed state. Never heard that before and very interested. Thanks

[@DamonCart]

Thank you. Just practice this exercise imagining whatever context you find your state crashing. Bring the resource in just like I show in the video. I would practice it ten times and then let it go unconscious. It's more powerful when the lifebelt is unconscious. If you're crashing and then waiting for the resilient state to emerge you might actually inhibit it.

[@berenicedavey7407]

Hanks for your reply. Not many video makers actually do that. I appreciate it ver much. OK think I misunderstood what u were saying. So am I correct in hm king u only used the life jacket as a metaphor for the process, but no part of the process - which is what I tight u were saying.

[@DamonCart]

This channel, in addition to using it to promote my business, is also a way that I can share and connect with others who are interested in NLP. For now my subscribership is small enough for me to keep up with the comments and I really enjoy answering your questions. Yes, the life jacket is just a metaphor. If you're wearing a life jacket and you were knocked unconscious and thrown into the ocean, the life jacket would pull you to the surface and keep you there until you regained consciousness. This technique will help you resurface to a resourceful state especially when it feels like you can't stop your state from crashing.

[@pranjal9898]

What does the mentalist do to saw what are we Imagine and thinking some name and guess it right ?

[@DamonCart]

There are a lot of magicians who do these sort of tricks. That's not what I practice or teach.

[@pranjal9898]

So sir from where I can learn that tricks?

[@DamonCart]

@@pranjal9898 I don't know. Find someone who does them or teaches them.

[@oddities3851]

i love this thank you

[@DamonCart]

You're welcome 😊

[@rickboiardimindshiftingaca6975]

Does a positive anchor have to be a memory, or can it be a scenario you create in your mind? Thanks!

[@DamonCart]

It doesn't have to be but memories of past experiences tend to be easier to access and more powerful.

[@rickboiardimindshiftingaca6975]

@@DamonCart TY so much. That really helps.. two of my anchors are memories. Another one is a situation I see in the future as very positive .

[@shirleyA3122]

Yes - it is very tricky to get back up when in a very unresourceful state. I will try this out. I like that you are mapping across & collapsing anchors - using 2 technique and keeping it kinaesthetic. Let me know about your course.

[@DamonCart]

Thank you. You can find my course at ultimatenlppractitioner.com

[@DamonCart]

You are so welcome

[@lauragabbard2501]

Great video! I was wondering what happens when we want to anchor multiple states in this manner. Would you use the same exact body movements to anchor a different state in addition to "ferocity" or would you have to come up with a different movement pattern? Thanks!

[@DamonCart]

You should be able to use the same movement pattern. You may want to choose different spots on the floor than what you've used for past work in case you still might be anchored to those spaces.

[@paulabromeit5119]

Thanks Damon! I would like to try this. Maybe even do it every day for 30 days. I do have a question: do you think that there is a difference between overriding a crash state with a resourceful state versus say healing the source of the crash state feelings? In other words do you think that NLP is actually healing anything or just managing symptoms?

[@DamonCart]

Everyday for 30 days might be a bit excessive. It's probably best to do it until you get the result you're wanting and then stop practicing it because in a sense you're still practicing the crash state when you've already overcome it. Really good question by the way. NLP can be both managing symptoms and healing. Sometimes a crash state is nothing more than a crash state and sometimes it has deep hooks. If the process in this video doesn't work, there's a good chance there's something deeper going on and their are processes like re-imprinting that take longer and go much deeper to heal an inner wound. As a coach I will usually try the topical solution first and if that doesn't work I'll use a deeper process. NLP is all about efficiency and not doing more than is absolutely necessary to solve a problem and advance progress. Thank you for your comment and question.

[@tatiana-mindfool]

@@DamonCart This makes a lot of sense, thank you. I love your response!

[@HerveBoisde]

I watched another video for collapsing negative anchors and though it was a kinesthetic anchor (on the knuckles), the collapsing part was reversed. When both anchors had been set they said to fire the negative anchor first and then overpower it with the positive anchor. Do you think it makes a difference?

[@DamonCart]

Thank you for your question. Yes, for collapsing touch anchors I would do it the way you were taught. Fire the negative and then the positive. Also, always release the negative anchor before releasing the positive anchor. A lot of people make that mistake. Hold the positive anchor at least a few moments longer after you release the negative anchor.

[@HerveBoisde]

OK. Great. Thanks!

You're welcome.
