Re-Imprinting

The Re-Imprinting Process as I was taught in my NLP Practitioner Training, utilizing “Time Lines”, in Toronto, Ontario through Dynamind, by Marilou Seavey.

1. Identify the specific symptoms (which may be feeling, words or images) associated with the impasse. Most people want to avoid the symptoms because they are uncomfortable. It is important to remember that avoiding the symptoms won’t resolve the limitation. Have the subject focus on the symptoms, step into their time-line (facing the future) and walk slowly backwards until he or she reaches the earliest experience of the feeling and / or symptoms associated with the impasse. Keeping the subject in the associated / regressed state have him / her verbalize the generalizations of beliefs that were formed from the experience. Calibrate for 1st person, present tense.

2. a) Have the subject take a step backwards to a time before the initial imprint experience. Then have the subject step off of the time-line and return to the present and look back at the imprint experience from “meta-position”.
b) Ask the subject to notice the effect that the earlier experience has had on his or her life. Also have the subject verbalize any other generalizations or beliefs that were formed as a result of the imprint experiences. (Beliefs are often formed “after the fact”.)
c) Find the positive intent or the secondary gain of the symptoms or response formed at the imprint experience.

3. Identify any significant others involved in the imprint. The symptoms may actually come from the role modeling of a significant other. Find the positive intention of their behavior by physically assuming second position with the significant other (this may be done by stepping into the “shoes” of the significant other).

4. For each of the significant people involved in the imprint experience:
a) Identify the resources or choices (be aware that the resource is not the solution) that the person needed back then and did not have, but the subject does have available now. Remember that you need not limit yourself to the capabilities that the subject or the significant others had at that time. So long as the subject (not the significant other) has those resources available now, you may use them to help change that experience. Have the subject step into their time-line at the location where he, or she most strongly experienced having that resource and anchor it. (Make sure the resource is at the appropriate logical level.) Have the subject visualize the resource as a kind of energy or light (submodality structure), turn back toward the imprint experience and imagine the light shining into the significant other.
b) Holding the resource anchor, have the subject step off of the time-line, walk back to the imprint experience, step into the position of the person who needed the resource and relive the imprint experience from that person’s point of view incorporating the needed resource.
c) Ask the subject to return to his or her first position (associated on time line) and update, or modify the generalizations he or she would now choose to make from the experience.

5. Ask the subject to identify the most important resource or belief that he or she would have needed from his or her own point of view. Anchor that resource, and take it back to the location on the time-line before the imprint occurred. Have the subject take the resource into his or her younger self and walk all the way up their time-line to the present, experiencing the changes made by the re-imprinting.
