Decision Maker® Stimulus Process
Interactive Version

This process can be used to get rid of fear and its variations, such as anxiety or terror. In some cases, one experiences fear all the time. Most of the time, however, there is a specific stimulus that causes the fear. The Decision Maker® Stimulus Process (DMSP) breaks the connection between the fear and the stimulus, so that the current stimulus no longer causes the fear. Before using this form, please read description of how the DMSP works. It will make it easier for you to use the following interactive version of the DMSP successfully.We do not use cookies and we do not keep a record of who uses the DMSP or what choices are made.

1. What type of current situation or event produces your experience of fear?
For example, you feel fear whenever you don't do things perfectly or whenever someone gets angry at you.

We're offering you a choice of five feelings: fear and four variations of fear, and 41 different situations that could cause those five feelings. From our experience this combination includes the overwhelming majority of the "fear-like" feelings you might want to get rid of and their causes.
