It is done by accessing the subconscious in the right way, and giving the right set of instructions such that the awareness of the fear is not a personal one. This is also done in hypnosis, creative visualization and NLP.
For example, the other day a friend of mine came to me asking for help overcoming a fear, and since she was sitting in my office with me, I had her close her eyes and imagine her fears as being something she was watching on a movie screen, instead of experiencing. Simple creative visualization techniques, with no effort whatsoever at induction, hypnosis or NLP. Because she was imagining herself sitting in the back of the movie theater, and what she was afraid of was being experienced as a two dimensional projection on a screen far from herself, and she had the ability to stop the "film" at any time. she was much more comfortable with it.
Once she got comfortable, I suggested that she could just two finger pinch minimize it, as if it were a touch screen, and then wipe it off the screen to delete it if she wanted to, which she did. Again, all this was done with no induction or NLP. Just a few minutes of closed eyes and creative visualization, and the right ideas, and she was able to free herself from a great deal of fear.
Then I spent some time explaining to her the reasons why her fears made no sense. While she is an emotion-based thinker by nature, she was able to gain benefit from what information I gave her.
All told, virtually no fear experienced during the 7 minutes this took, but she released a lot of fear. It doesn't have to be personally experienced to work with it, and in distancing oneself from it thusly, t becomes possible to work with it objectively, and without experiencing the fear.
All this can be done at a purely subconscious level as well, if we have the right instruction set.
