There's one technique for it in Eby's free book chapters (chapter 7 specifically); he doesn't want a direct link to them being passed around and I'm not sure on how much I'm allowed to quote, but sign up to his mailing list and you should get a link eventually. (I'm not sure if you get a link to all the chapters on sign-up, or if you need to wait for the next mailing.)
I haven't really gotten it to work myself yet, though, and I haven't figured out what it is that I'm doing wrong.
You might not be doing anything wrong, but the way to know for sure is to try it on a food dislike first. That's a good test of your technique, because if you can't get rid of a food dislike with it, it is indeed your technique that's wrong.
If you've succeeded with a food dislike, but are having trouble with something else, it's much less likely your technique, and more likely that you have something the method doesn't work on. (Or that you haven't fully surfaced the emotional threat, i.e., haven't asked "what's bad about that?" enough to get to a strong feeling.)
Eby randomly posts updates on the list, and each update recently has contained links to all the chapters. (Yes, I know that this is a rather inconvenient and clumsy system to get new people to sign up...)
