Tonight’s tool from her Healing Toolbox

NLP Movie Theater

A classic NLP “Movie Theater” (Visual-Kinesthetic Dissociation) process for lowering the emotional charge of a traumatic memory by changing size, color, sound, and distance. Krissy’s therapist walked her through it; the full steps are in her appendix.

Step by step

  1. Find a quiet place for 10–15 minutes. Sit comfortably. You’re in control—if it’s too intense, open your eyes and breathe.
  2. Safe Place Anchor: picture a calm place; when calm feels strong, lightly press thumb and middle finger together.
  3. Imagine a movie theater; float to a control booth so you’re watching yourself watch the screen. Play the memory tiny, silent, and black-and-white—from just before until just after you were safe again.
  4. Freeze on a safe frame, rewind super-fast 3 times, drain color, shrink it away, then fill the screen with a bright image of you safe today. Return, breathe, and squeeze your safe anchor. (Full Step 1–8 wording is in the book.)
