YOU ARE ONLY ONE THOUGHT AWAY FROM ‘AS GOOD AS NEW’

Imagine you had a phone and played with it for a lifetime – loaded it with apps, dropped and scratched it a few times, and so on… Similarly, on the outside we pick up scars and we age and on the inside we have lots of beliefs we have acquired.

If I said to you ‘you know that app you have had for 20 years – the one that is problematic, slowing everything down. How long would it take to uninstall that app?’

The answer is seconds – you just uninstall. It goes away immediately – it does not leave a scar. It goes away as if it had never been there.

With NLP, the same is true or us… We are only ever one thought away from a totally different experience and we are only one thought away from as ‘good as new’.

On the inside we can always reset and we can reset in an instant. Please get in touch to find out how NLP can help you...

SPORTS & ATHLETE WORK

NLP offers a range of coaching tools and techniques that can be effective in addressing the psychological issues faced by sportspeople including: Fear of Failure; Performance Anxiety; Imposter Syndrome; Burnout; Depression; Eating & Drinking Disorders; Substance Abuse; etc.

Through NLP, I can help you reset in an instant. If you suffer from anxiety or fear about your sport performance please get in touch.

The following NLP coaching tools offer practical techniques for addressing the diverse psychological challenges athletes face, contributing to their overall well-being and performance…

1. Performance Anxiety – Anchoring involves creating a specific trigger (such as a word or gesture) that evokes a desired emotional state (e.g., confidence, calmness). Athletes can use this technique to manage anxiety and enhance performance under pressure.

2. Imposter Syndrome – Reframing helps athletes change their perception of their achievements and abilities, shifting from self-doubt to recognising their true competence and value.

3. Burnout – Timeline Therapy assists athletes in re-evaluating their past experiences and setting future goals, helping them regain motivation and a sense of purpose.

4. Depression – The Swish Pattern replaces negative mental images with positive ones. This can help athletes shift their focus from depressive thoughts to more empowering and uplifting perspectives.

5. Eating & Drinking Disorders –  The Meta Model helps uncover and challenge limiting beliefs and distorted thinking patterns related to body image and eating habits, promoting healthier attitudes and behaviors.

6.  Substance Abuse – Parts Integration addresses internal conflicts and harmonises different parts of the individual’s psyche, aiding in resolving the root causes of substance dependency.

7. Fear of Failure – Visual/Kinaesthetic Dissociation (VKD) helps athletes detach from negative emotions associated with failure by visualising and re-experiencing the event in a dissociated state, reducing its emotional impact.

8. Social Anxiety – Circle of Excellence creates a mental space where athletes can access their most resourceful states (e.g., confidence, relaxation) when facing socially stressful situations.

9. Injury-Related Stress – Future Pacing involves visualising successful outcomes and a positive recovery process, helping athletes build a more optimistic outlook on their rehabilitation journey.

10. Retirement Anxiety – The New Behavior Generator helps athletes envision and mentally rehearse new roles and activities post-retirement, making the transition smoother and less anxiety-inducing.
