Anchoring is a neuro-linguistic programming term. In this a response becomes anchored to (associated with) some stimulus, in such a way that perception of the stimulus (the anchor) leads by reflex to the anchored response occurring. Anchors are capable of being formed and reinforced by repeated stimuli, and thus are analogous to classical conditioning.
In coaching, I use anchoring to repeat permissions. It is Ok to fail. It is ok to make mistakes. It is OK to go slow. Whatever the permission is, as a coach, I repeat it multiple times in the session, very powerfully.
In a coaching session, a client experiences an intense state - where the mind and body are strongly involved together. In such a state when a phrase is repeated and client feels relaxed at listening to the phrase, the phrase and the relaxed state become neurologically linked. We could say that the permission has been taken in. Anchoring works on the unconsious mind. It can suport a person powerfully in making the change
