When using the tape New Behavior Generator, try listening to side A more often as this side deals with secondary gain and similar issues.
Later I'll look through my books to see which ones have these techniques in them so I can tell you where to find directions. On working with addictions, compulsions, and habits, some people have a simple program that is easily changed with one technique and others may have a complex program that can require much more work. It is good to start with a technique that brings integration or cooperation between the parts of your mind, such as the Visual Squash, Core Transformation, and the 6-Step Reframe (a version of the 6-Step Reframe is on side A of NBG.) Sometimes this will be enough and other times following this up with a more direction oriented technique such as the Swish Pattern, NBG, and Change Personal History will be useful.
Going beyond specific techniques, you can set a sliding anchor for the behavior where you can turn it up to the point where it is irresistable and turn it down to the point where you have no desire to do it at all. Then you can go back on your timeline to say, 30 minutes before the initial event and turn the desire down to zero, and go through the event again with the desire being at zero and notice how you now do things differently. Then follow your timeline to the present, bringing your desired outcome to similar events and other times the behavior has manifested and go through them again with your new resources and notice how different things are now that you have changed. Now go into the future and bring your new changes out as far as you can see, to all events that would have at one time triggered the old behavior and notice how different things are now. Come back to the present and thank your unconscious for helping you in this.
