How to use the power of association and disassociation...
to make things that you think are negative... vanish shrink or dissolve completely from your life Association and disassociation are powerful tools that can greatly impact our lives.
These concepts, often used in psychology and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), refer to the way we connect or disconnect certain thoughts, feelings, and behaviours from ourselves.
When we associate with something, we connect it to our identity. This could be a belief, behaviour, or emotion. For example, if someone struggles with low self-esteem and constantly puts themselves down, they have associated with negative self-talk as a part of who they are.
On the other hand, when we disassociate from something, we separate it from ourselves. In the same scenario, if this person were able to disassociate from their negative self-talk and see it as an external entity rather than a part of themselves, they would have more control over their thoughts and be able to change them.
The power of association and disassociation can greatly impact our lives. Our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality, so when we associate or disassociate with certain ideas or behaviors, we are essentially creating our own reality.
This is where NLP comes in - by understanding how we associate and disassociate with different aspects of ourselves, we can learn to reframe and change our thought patterns for the better.
