Access Your Ideal Future Self for Adviceby Christa van der Smissen, Ph.D. This technique works well with clients who suffer from fears or from addictions. The client can be in trance, but I have also successfully used it with clients who were just visualizing · Have the client focus on their problem via their sub modalities. Then have them describe all of the limitations that the problem poses in their life. · Have client give this a feeling/color/sound/shape. Anchor that. · Now find their time line. · Next, ask client to travel across time and space to their ideal future self who has already resolved the problem and make that picture big, bright and colorful. · Ask the client to have a dialogue with his/her ideal future self to find out what the client needs to know right now to overcome his/her problem. · Tell the client to ask how the ideal future self overcame the problem. · Once that is accomplished, have the client signal you. · Now have the client step into his/her ideal future self and see/hear/feel/taste/smell what that is like. Anchor that. · Now ask the client to bring that new knowledge backwards in time to the present. · Have client open their eyes. · Fire first anchor and state: "Every time you feel/hear/think (use their sub modalities) this, I want you to feel/hear/think that," and fire second anchor. · Repeat several times. · Test and state: "NOW following the advice from your ideal future self will come to you easily and naturally."
