You may find your fears are treated by this one step alone; you may find other memories that had been forgotten which also need treating in the same way. There could be many layers to your onion of fear that need peeling away.

Once you have worked through these past events, or if you can think of none to begin with, visualise your fear in the present. Close your eyes and imagine standing on a tall building, holding a rat, talking to a huge crowd or whatever your fear. Take note of your intensity level and any physical or emotional feelings.

Now treat each of these in the same way.

“Even though I have this queasy feeling in my stomach when I look over the edge I……….”
“Even though my heart starts beating when I think about/see a rat I ……….”
“Even though I get this lump in my throat when I think about making a presentation I ………”

Once you have treated all of the feelings until their intensity levels are 0, you should be able to visualise in great detail past or future events without emotional or physical distress.

The next step is to put it into practise. You may want to start slowly, for example just by looking at a picture of a spider, rat or aeroplane. If this triggers a response then treat that in the same way, using EFT on those feelings while looking at the picture, maintaing your focus on your fear.
