Hi Peter:

Peter asks: "What factors speed emotional desensitization?"

Peter the more someone stays with fully feeling an emotion, the quicker that emotion will desensitize. What blocks the full feeling experience, is emotional resistance and avoidance. Any method that reduces emotional resistance and emotional avoidance will speed the process of desensitization. Palm holding the lower forehead/eyebrow area and tongue relaxation are both methods which thwart emotional resistance and make it easier to fully feel an emotion into desensitization. Disidentification helps make someone somewhat comfortable and outside an emotion which leads to less emotional avoidance.

Take care, Steve
