Why Fast Phobia Cure Works

The technique works because it changes the brain’s internal “fear coding” by modifying the submodalities of the memory. Instead of reliving the fear, the brain reruns the event in a new, safe, emotionally neutral pathway.

This is why it's commonly used in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, London, New York, Chicago and many other cities for phobias such as flying, spiders, dogs, darkness, public speaking and medical anxiety.
