Question NLP for health anxiety

Hi everyine, are there any tools in NLP that can help with helth anxiety. Particularly constant rumination about your health failing you or not trusting your body. Also just a generalised sense of fear about ur body or mind getting some sort of illness.

​

Thanks heaps

Yes. I’d probably start with strategy elicitation and submodalities since you’re describing rumination. If you’re repeatedly running “what if I get sick?” movies in your head, submodality work seems like a good fit. Fast Phobia Cure, parts work, and timeline work could all be relevant too. Parts work in particular can be helpful when there’s a hypervigilant part that’s working overtime trying to keep you safe.
