For many decades, hypnosis has been presented, thanks to the imagination of Hollywood directors, as something outlandish or mystical. Everything you have ever watched or heard about hypnosis in films or read in spooky stories is nonsense. Hypnosis is a form of psychology in action; it is a process of communication that allows people to discover a large part of their hidden potential. Not accidentally, the best athletes in the world use hypnosis within their process of preparation.

To begin with, let’s clarify common misconceptions concerning hypnosis:

– Hypnosis is nothing mystical or magical

– Hypnosis has no connection with religion

– Hypnosis is not about controlling your mind, brainwashing or manipulation

– Hypnotised people are not unconscious; they do not lose touch with reality

– No one ever stayed hypnotised forever

– Hypnosis does not unveil the secrets of the hypnotised person

– The hypnotised people cannot do any action contrary to their own will

Hypnosis is one of the most effective techniques that can be used by athletes in order to achieve their sports goals. It can train the mind the same way as physical exercise trains the body. “Hypnosis is the key to improving athletic performance. Athletes are able to show better performance if they can relax their mind and concentrate only on their goal that is within their reach,” explains Michaela Carter, mental coach and hypnotherapist, on the effects of hypnosis.

Hypnosis can:

– control anxiety and manage stress

– relax the mind during training and tournaments

– help to better manage nervousness

– increase concentration

– eliminate distractions

– help to relieve pain

– increase motivation

– improve awareness of one’s body

“Hypnosis is a very powerful tool that can instantly improve the condition of a client and start the long-lasting changes in their life. Unlike other methods, hypnosis can achieve it easily and without too much effort,” adds Michaela Carter.
