This is not a specific sub-modality, but it is an inner visual stimulation that is very important for our memory management topic.Visual triggers are what we call “anchors.” It could be anything from your experience – it could be a face or the features of a face, for example.

I had a client who was attacked in her childhood, and ever since she has had a very strong reaction towards people who share the same facial characteristics as her attacker.

A complete stranger who had nothing to do with her past could be getting some hateful (and disturbing) looks from her just because he had the same type of nose, same facial hair arrangement, same eye patterns, etc.

Anchors are very important for two reasons: one, you have registered in your mind numerous anchors (literally, millions); and second, many of those anchors trigger unconscious processes that can change your emotions, your thoughts, and your decisions without any conscious awareness.
