Using hypnosis we can cross the bridge from the conscious to the subconscious mind----

 

All our memories are stored there; where they continue to have an important effect on the way we live our daily lives.

Happily most of the information we have stored is helpful and continues to make our lives safer and less problematic.

Alas, sometimes we pick up problems, perhaps through repetition or trauma, which our inner mind then retains.

This is because one of the major functions of the subconscious mind is to help us to learn and remember important things.

 

Difficulties begin when we learn and act out behaviors, which we later find are unhelpful or even harmful.

A hypnotherapist helps by communicating with your storehouse of learned patterns and behaviors.

with your storehouse of learned patterns and behaviors.

New instructions can be place there which have a strong effect when we are wakeful again.

 

The wonderful thing about hypnosis is that it uses the natural abilities of your own mind to safely bring about the changes you require.

 

NOTHING IS EITHER GOOD OR BAD BUT THINKING MAKES IT SO…. Shakespeare

 

The information that governs our behavior, habits and the way we perceive our world is stored within the subconscious levels of our mind.

 

Although this content is hinted at in our dreams. it often seems that the door to the unconscious opens only in one direction.

 

Using hypnosis a skilled practitioner can gain access to this deeper mind and CREATE NEW BEHAVIOR THAT CAN HAVE A PROFOUND EFFECT on personal development.

Professional athletes have as many problems as anybody else. They program themselves for failure, never recognizing the latter

They have been suffering from negative programming of their subconscious, They have physical skills, great skills, great abilities, yet they know they will fail under certain conditions.( A younger opponent who is faster or an older opponent who has more experience ) 

 

I went to a small boarding school out side of Durham called Barnard Castle. It was a rugby school and I thrived on the sport. After school I completed my teaching degree in physical education at Newcastle Upon Tyne Polytechnic.

I applied for my masters degree in the United States and ended up teaching at California State University, Pomona that offered my degree. I  started a University rugby team and coached it to win the college championships.

At the same time I was also competing in ultra endurance triathlon events. On many occasions my rugby team became included in my training program (much to their misfortune !!!!!! ) and consequently I turned out an amazingly fit team that was rarely beaten.

I found that American athletes were highly coachable. If I told them that part of their training was pushing my VW bus up a steep hill then that is what they did. My coaching philosophy was  simple: it did not matter if they won or lost as long as they had done their best.

For many of them this was a foreign concept as they were brought up with a sport ethos to win at all costs. 

 

Most of the athletes that I work with are in exceptional physical condition; however, their emotional and mental focus on the game is a lot less prepared and developed

Learning how to lose a game/race and LEARN from it, is as integral as the glory of the win. Perhaps more important is being prepared to come back from behind. Digging deep down when necessary is an emotional attribute that many athletes have not developed either because of their youth or else they have always played with a winning team.

Being outplayed should be an education in how to prepare for the next competition. Being beaten by an inferior team takes a lot of soul searching and can have a profound effect on a team's self worth. Losing should not be regretted. If each player is made responsible for their role in the competition and they are made to reflect upon this perspective.

After each game, I would call the team together, win or lose, and ask them as a team how they did. I would then make sure that I would get each player by themselves and ask them how they performed. Making them responsible, getting used to self critique, was more effective to having a coach shouting at them. 

I pushed them in training way beyond what they had previously experienced. They drew from each other during some of these extreme training sessions, I never let them believe that they could not do not what was put in front of them; and consequently, actual game day was very easy and relaxed for them. During the first year of starting the club, I just had enough players to have one team with a few reserves. Invariably they would have 10 minutes rest and then turn around and play the other teams second team, winning both games easily!!!
