by Alan B. Densky, CH

Frequently bright young students bring home classroom grades that just do not seem to reflect their mental power.

Once the clients have been successful in installing an anchor for self-esteem, they are encouraged to imagine themselves taking a test. As they create this mental picture, they develop the ability to trigger this positive self-image anchor by touching the two fingers together once more. The subconscious then relates the thoughts of positive self-image and achievement to the behavior of taking a test. The end result is that the client feels significantly more positive about their ability to take tests, and this gives them a high expectation of success.

Soon, they become able to instruct their mental processes to instantaneously swap stressful thoughts for relaxing ones. Quickly, clients who employ NLP for test anxiety understand that it becomes almost impossible to concentrate on anxiety-producing thoughts as their minds automatically flash them away for less stressful thoughts instead!
