Visual NLP Map Across - Aversion
|
|
For therapists: Aversion is a good approach to initiate any form of behaviour control. For some patients, aversion alone will be sufficient. This software uses multimedia to install strong aversive responses that you can then reinforce.
The NLP Map Across Technique maps the submodalities of something that is liked into the submodalities of something that is not liked or visa versa. The technique can be used to install aversion or to enable desensitisation.
The mini utilities repeatedly associate an image of eg chocolate / chips / suger / cake / cigarettes / drugs / alcohol with an image of excrement.
There are currently four utilities that contain animated imagery covering Smoking cessation, Alcohol, Eating and Drug use cessation. Each utility is a separate software product for ordering / installation purposes.

What do they do?
The modalities of the aversive object are amplified, the modalities of the liked object are minimised, the liked object is mapped on top of the aversive object as left to right matching auditory stimulation is provided.
In real terms this means:
- The user is directed to think about an image representing the problem
- The problem image is positioned center left of screen
- The problem image is faded out a little and made smaller
- The user is directed to think about an image representing the aversive image
- The aversive image is positioned center right of screen
- The aversive image is pulsed (gets bigger by about 10% then returns to normal size)
- The problem image moves into the aversive image with a whoosh sound
- The two images are displayed at the right hand side of the screen one after another in a cycle with whoosh sounds that pan from left to right
- As this happens sounds of vomiting are played (now in all versions apart from Mac versions) and the aversive image pulses
- The problem image is made a little smaller and is slightly faded out
- The user is asked to consider how they feel about the problem now
Warning: These utilities can generate a strong sense of nausea. As with most aversive techniques the conditioning tends to remain for a matter of months unless reconditioned. If a therapist always gain informed consent before using aversive approaches.
