More formal NLP techniques:

The formal NLP techniques mentioned above are only a fraction of all the interventions you can think of with the different NLP reframes such as chunking and submodalities.

For example, the Swish, Fast Phobia, worrying technique and feeling-turning technique are simple examples of the 1,001 possibilities that you can think of with submodalities. The Dickens technique is also a simple application of the association / dissociation submodality. Formal anchoring interventions can also be found in the article about anchoring.

It is also good to know that all NLP principles come together in the NLP strategies, or TOTE. In that article you will find a freestyle technique for shuffling someone’s internal representation of a problem – indeed, like the Fast Phobia, but without fixed steps, via improvisation.
