Work with mePerformance hypnosis with Steve Pastor · Central Coast, NSW
You’ve put in the training. Where do you want the confidence to compete at your best? Bring me the level you’re aiming for and the doubt you’d like to leave behind.
Tell me your sport, the skill you’ve trained and the moment you want to work on. I build the hypnosis around the words you actually use when you compete.
Think of a warm-up where you felt ready. How did you recognise the right level of intensity for you? A swimmer might choose the feel of their toes on the block. A basketballer might choose the last bounce before a free throw. Which detail belongs in your routine?
You’ve sent a putt past the hole. There’s still a putt to make. Walk round to the ball, take in the slope and choose the line for this shot. What word would bring you back to that line? Bring that word into your hypnosis session.
Once your treating clinician has cleared a particular drill, bring that drill to the session. Picture the approach, the movement and the point where you finish. What would you like to attend to on the first repetition back?
Say your cue is “through the ball”. What do those words mean in your hands, your eyes and your follow-through?
In hypnosis, I invite you to focus on those few seconds. You can follow my voice, use an image or concentrate on the feel of the movement. We run the sequence in your words and adjust anything that doesn’t fit.
For self-hypnosis between sessions, pick a quiet moment before training. Use that cue as your suggestion, then take it into the drill. Afterwards, ask yourself: when did I use it, and what did I do next?
Think of your last free throw at training. Where were your eyes just before you let the ball go? That detail is where I’d start a hypnosis session.
