Hypnotherapy can be used as a standalone treatment for a specific issue, or as part of the personal coaching process. In both cases, hypnotherapy can be a highly effective tool to remove a block in the form of a habitual behavioural pattern, which could be a phobia, an addiction, or a habitual way of feeling about oneself, another person, situation or perceived problem.

Hypnosis achieves this by using the natural trance state, a state our minds pass through many times each day. Fredrik facilitates entry to this state to work on something previously agreed on with the client. In this state of deep relaxation, in which the client always remains in control, we can bypass the logical, reasoning part of the brain and access that part which holds long-term memories and shapes habits so that they can be changed and re-aligned with our wishes.

Hypnotherapy is applicable in many spheres: for health and general well-being, for overcoming specific issues and for greater success in sports and competition.

For example, for health-related issues it can help beat addiction to smoking, or poor eating habits.

It can be used to work with specific problems, such as a fear of public speaking.

More holistically, it can work to change the way we feel about a person or situation and even help us develop greater ability to focus or change the way we respond to stress.

For sports, it can help competitors deal more positively with the stress of competition. Another key application of hypnosis for the athlete is the way it can be used to learn powerful visualization methods. The deeply relaxed trance state can be used to instruct and give a client experience of the visualization technique which they may subsequently be able to use by themselves.

Most of us are familiar with the idea that the mind makes up 85% or more of our performance, but what do we do about training for it? What are we willing to do?

Often we “don’t mind” doing a few extra laps in the pool, on the track or hitting the driving range more often in order to help us achieve our goals. But how about training effectively in order to give ourselves the mental edge?

Most athletes, whether professional or not, have experienced times when they are ‘in the zone’, where they are performing at their physical and mental best in what some describe as a state of ‘Flow’.

For many of us though, this remains an unconscious process outside our normal conscious awareness.

It may be true that games and races are won away from the crowds on empty roads, in the gym or the pool before break of dawn, but they are also won outside of the conscious mind. Personal coaching can give you the tools to access the zone every time you race and in every game, moving beyond the limited, logical thinking of the conscious mind to unlock the potential of  the unconscious and get in the zone.

Perhaps you love training but dread racing, perhaps you are afraid of failure or nervous about a certain part of your sport, whether it’s the swim in a triathlon or teeing off in front of your customers at the annual company golf tournament. Perhaps you feel like you are missing something, maybe you think you are not performing at your best and wondering if it could be a mental block.

Schedule a session and we can identify how personal performance coaching, which may include hypnotherapy and visualisation techniques, can help you excel and enjoy all aspects of your sport more fully.

Studying and learning new skills can be an immensely rewarding part of life. However, sometimes studying can be intimidating. Even if we want to learn something new, we may feel blocked in some way.

We might find we have problems concentrating, or that we don’t seem to be able to perform to our ability in tests or exams. We might feel we have difficulties learning a certain subject, such as a foreign language, chemistry or math, or studying with a particular teacher. Perhaps you find that you read slowly and therefore it takes too long to go through and do your homework each day.

Maybe you feel that you learn slowly altogether and wonder why you learn things outside of school more quickly.

Whether we are in school, college or university full time, or if we are going ‘back to school’ for training or a course for career or personal development, there is no need to let any negative feelings hinder our studies.

With Öhrn Performance Coaching and hypnotherapy you can overcome your blocks and start to enjoy learning new things, making study a natural and enriching part of life.
