Sports Hypnosis - Hypnotherapy Provides Fresh Approach for American Football Player

“What hypnotherapy did for me was to make me more mindful of my own thoughts and give me the opportunity to look at the causes of the separate issues which were holding me back from my training regime.

“Hypnotherapy is a different learning style from sports psychology and allowed me to achieve small goals and make constructive changes in easy stages rather than be completely focused on the end goal.

“The sessions start with a consultation to determine what specifically is affecting you, then Georgios will provide techniques to address these problems. This is so important as he gives you the tools to work on yourself which helps you understand how your mind thinks about things you hadn’t normally considered. After this, the therapist will make you feel very relaxed and affirm your goals and techniques with the spoken word.

“My advice is to give hypnotherapy a go, it has made me much more mindful of the things I used to do without thinking about. This has aided me in my goals and motivation.”

Open water swimming phobia, anxiety and panic attacks

Sleep Problems and Insomnia

Recently we had te pleaseure of working with a triathelet who had a severe anxiety when swimming in open water which was causing severe panic attacks.
The client was stuck at this stage and could not get over it.

During our session we establish that the client was making huge pictures of them swiming whilst feeling panic and swimming in a gigantic lake which was making it very scary.

Fortunately this client was extremele repsonsive to our techniques and had resolved the problem from the very first session.

Even more a couple of weeks later the client emailed us picture of her swimming in open water and with a huge smile with the following text

"Hello, I thought that you would like to see these. Thank you for your help".
Hypnotherapy for phobias

Sleep problems are notoriously difficult to resolve but Susan Boyle, who has suffered from chronic insomnia since she was 15, found hypnotherapy helped make her life and her relationship run more smoothly. Insomnia is an issue that is hard for those who haven’t suffered it to understand quite how detrimental to day-to-day living it can be. For Susan, battling a constant feeling of tiredness made it hard to get through the working day and even recreational outings were out of the question, particularly if driving was involved, for fear of accidents.

Only being able to sleep in ten minute snatches at a time really affected her health. Lack of sleep impacts on the immune system and made her very susceptible to picking up bugs. Consecutive bouts of insomnia would trigger acute migraines and was likely to have been one of the contributing factors that led to Susan developing the viral condition ME, which causes extreme exhaustion.

Panic Attacks

Anxiety

Just after her mum passed away Bryony began suffering panic attacks. Although she had experienced an episode in the past, these new attacks began to occur more regularly and were more severe.

Eventually they became an ‘everyday state of mind’ and Bryony realised she had no control over her life so needed to take action.

Consulting her GP her only options were medication or counselling. Not wishing to take pills, Bryony attended counselling but came to conclusion talking while someone passively listened was not the answer, especially when she had friends she could share with.

If you doubt hypnotherapy could be helpful to you, take a leaf out of Nadeem Arif’s book. After a conventional approach to dealing with issues around anxiety hadn’t worked, he began exploring complementary therapies.

Nadeem was always fascinated by the power of the sub-conscious and had experimented with hypnotherapy CDs but with mixed success as he was unable to enter a state of hypnosis on his own.

He then decided to investigate seeing a therapist face-to-face. Conducting his research, he contacted several people by phone and was particularly impressed with Georgios because he gave him plenty of time to explain his requirements and was offering the type of therapies Nadeem was looking for.
