Change the images in your mind, to change the emotion

I had originally picked up this technique from Tony Robbins. He talked about changing an image or memory, so that it changed the emotion.

In his book he talked about changing the images to something funny. I tried a variety of techniques for some of my old porn memories or images in my head, The ones it would come up and trigger arousal and an urge.

I tried funny. When the image of a particular online dominatrix came to mind, I would picture her in a clown suit, or picture her getting beat up by a large stuffed bunny rabbit.

I tried scary. I would picture her turning into a troll, or monster.. That didn't quite work either..

But then I tried something that is actually more realistic and seems to work better. I picture her off camera, crying, feeling bad that you have to do this for a living, Picture that she was probably abused as a little girl which is likely how she ended up using her sexuality for money.

It works. It stops the feeling of lust, to feeling sorry for her.

So rather than trying to push the image out of my mind, I now freeze it and change it, which takes away its power
