Abstract
Although
the amount of interaction with computers is increasing in the current
digital age, humans are still facing emotional problems at work. This
research looks at the effectiveness of new age techniques such as
Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Time Line TherapyTM
(TLT) in getting over, or reducing the intensity of negative emotions
attached to memories of stressful events in the past among people
involved with information technology (IT). This experimental research
involved 20 test subjects from the IT department of various
organisations and 32 control group subjects. Statistical T-Tests
revealed that with the test group, there were significant reductions in
intensity levels of negative emotions after undergoing the procedures
compared with before, with all three methods. There were no significant
changes in the control group.
