Well, the first would be to try to bring some awareness to when the person might be

negatively rehearsing something or throwing up you know catastrophic scenarios in their mind and it could be a form of self-talk they might say oh my god this is never going to work out or this is going to be so awful or i'm going to be late or i'm gonna whatever and sometimes negative self-talk is useful but in this case if someone is overly doing that they're going to create an emotional reaction to their own self-talk

And then they're gonna physiologically react and they're gonna start sweating and their heart's gonna beat faster and they're gonna have a shortness of breath and they're gonna sometimes just wanna get the hell out of there or avoid the situation altogether. And that's where phobias and panic kind of come in. So one, the first thing I would say is figure out where you're doing harm

And it's not your fault. This is an automatic process. But you can figure out where you're doing it, what might be triggering it, and then ask yourself, what would a more constructive or empowering alternative way of thinking about it be? And then you just practice doing that in your mind, especially if you're in situations which previously triggered the opposite.

I mean, that's one way of doing it.

In NLP, we call that an anchor. But a simple way of looking at it is it's basically a trigger or like a button, a push button for your mental computer or your whole neurology. So basically, the way it works is that it's just associative learning. The reason why that usually works is because we have associations with a lot of things in our life that make us feel different feelings.

So I'll put it really simply. There are certain... sensory triggers that evoke a positive feeling and others that evoke a negative feeling quick example of that if you were listening to a song at your when you had your first kiss let's assume it was a good one and it was like a really emotionally charged positive feeling then even if you haven't heard that song in decades

You can hear that song and a lot of those feelings come back and even the memory comes back. Sound and smell are two of the strongest links to memory, but basically it could be something you see, it could be a touch, like your fingers pressed together, but basically there are natural anchors or associations that our mind makes just accidentally.
