My question is, can NLP anchors be placed without the person noticing? Like over the course of day to day conversation? I dont mean in a manipulative way, some colleagues of mine seem to have some very deeply ingrained negative emotions, and it would be great to anchor positive tought over some opposite emotions, so that way they would rather “seek the happy toughts”.
@ Tips – NLP anchors can be placed covertly. It’s kind of fun actually. As an example you could accentuate some words in sentences and repeat them and emphasise them 3 times. I mean, don’t do it so its blatantly obvious though, lol. It’s a difficult balancing trick but you can get the hang of it after a while. Like, say you use “scratch” and “head” you’ll see the person scratch their head. Similarly, you can do this by combining words and a touch.
Anchors are very useful to me. I use them with every one of my clients who have a situation they need to change. eg. anger, anxiety, etc. It’s particularly useful for recalling the memory of a time in their lives when they felt ‘invincible’.
Thank you for this info. A really interesting topic that I want to look into further. I have been wanting to learn how to use this method in a long time. I have previously used mental images such as different shapes and forms in different colors as anchors. They should represent different emotions. Do you think they work just as well?
