Performance Enhancement

Hypnotherapy can help you achieve your full potential

Whether you’re performing on stage, competing in sport or taking a test, hypnotherapy can help you to achieve your full potential.

The link between our mind and performance has been recognised for many years. In sport, for example, as long ago as the 1950’s Soviet Union Olympic teams were employing the services of hypnotists to greatly enhance their athletes’ performance. Today, many top athletes, business people and performing artists use mental rehearsal techniques to help control stress levels and improve their performance.

When it comes to sport or any performance related activity, it is vital that stress levels are controlled and success is expected. However, negative thought patterns, unhelpful beliefs and fear can often take over and keep us from performing at an optimal level.

Successful people, such as Tiger Woods or Richard Branson, tell us that winning and staying at the top is about our state of mind. Controlling our emotions, focusing on our desired outcome and believing that we can do it. Throughout their careers they have continually used mind programming techniques to help control their mind, especially the subconscious mind. This is the part that’s responsible for creativity, habits and behaviours, beliefs and emotions.

How can hypnotherapy help you improve your performance?

Hypnotherapy helps to remove any negative thought patterns and beliefs. It works to re-programme the mind in expectation of success and enhance your focus on what you want to achieve.

Through positive visualisation and relaxation techniques anxiety is reduced, helping you to stay calm and focused. Furthermore, the process helps you get ‘into the zone,’ where your actions are carried out by the subconscious mind, as if on auto-pilot. In hypnosis the power of the subconscious mind can be accessed, which helps to change unhelpful habits and learnt behaviours, allowing you to perform at new levels of excellence.
