Hypnosis for anxiety

Help for Peak Performance For Athletes with Mental Blocks or Glitches

September 11, 2019 by Mark Shepard

Almost every Fall I get calls from desperate parents of peak performance high school and college athletes desperate for help. The usual scenario is that their daughter or son suddenly can’t do something that they used to be able to do. Call it a mental block or a performance “glitch,” Chuck Knobloch syndrome, or being a “head case,” it’s a cause of deep pain and concern. Whether it’s a specific tumble or move in gymnastics, cheerleading, baseball, figure skating, or even in the arts of Ballet, music or theater, they used to do this one thing spectacularly but now they can’t seem to do it at all. At stake is often hundreds of dollars in college scholarships or championship games that they will be “benched” for, the pain and suffering is real. The pressure is real. The pattern is starting to sink in and depression and discouragement are getting heavier and heavier.

The solution is not to search the world wide web for some “miracle worker” or sports psychologist or hypnotist who can “fix” it. The solution is for the student to learn to run their own mind.

That’s where I come in. Most of the “experts” have never experienced anything remotely like the blocks or neurological interference that these athletes or performers are experiencing.

I have.

In fact I never even had a chance to became an athlete because I did exactly the kinds of things with my mind in elementary school that caused me to want to quit that these kids are doing NOW.

I also did the same self sabotaging neurological processes with my musical performing.

But ultimately I had to learn how to run my OWN mind.

So that’s what I do with athletes. I first explore with them HOW they are doing the problem. This is usually an unconscious process until I help them to tease it out of themselves.

Then I can teach them the same tools that I’ve used now for over 20 years and that I’ve taught to countless others in person and online.

My suggestion if you or your child is struggling with this is to check out my “How To CRUSH anxiety NOW!” course and practice those tools and techniques.

Sports performance blocks are 99% of the time Performance Anxiety. Anxiety is focusing your mind on what you DO NOT want to have happen. Changing your focus is a PRACTICE that anyone can do. But most people don’t realize that THEY are the cause of their blocks or what in the world they can do to break through them and get back to winning.

Anyway, THIS song is actually a hypnosis session all about this. Give it a listen. No. It’s not “hip hop.” It’s not the most modern “cool” crunchy urban grunge rhythm. But it DOES work.

It works because it’s filled with “Why” and “how” questions which combined with music get “stuck” in the rostromedial prefrontal cortex of your brain.

Trumpidation! Inauguration Anxiety Part 2

January 20, 2017 by Mark Shepard

It is day 12 of 90 Day Transformation Challenge #4 but it is DAY ONE of the new Presidential Administration of Donald Trump.

Here’s a reassuring conversational hypnosis session to help you make it through Inauguration Day and any inauguration anxiety you may be experiencing.

Remember, “Anxiety is thinking about what you do not want to have happen and you’re unconscious mind reacting to those thoughts as if they are true.”

So the solution is to focus your mind consciously on what you DO want to have happen. Peace. Prosperity. Health. Wealth. You and your loved ones safe, sound and happy.

– Mark

p.s. Today’s TranceFormation Tune is below the video… :o)

p.p.s. Remember to BREATHE!

p.p.p.s. Can you imagine President Trump’s level of anxiety? I mean SERIOUSLY he’s a real estate developer who is about to have all of the problems of the world placed on his shoulders. I kind of feel bad for him don’t you? For the sake of all us “little people” I sincerely hope he rises to the Office.

Focus & Meaning Rap

December 8, 2015 by Mark Shepard

hh-12-08-FocusRap-ss2Hey, hey, hey, hey,

HAY!

Surprise! a VERY short video for you today.

With a new song that is just now moving through me…

Inspired by what I talked about in yesterday’s video/blog post about Dr. Donnie Epstein…

Grounded in the idea that the only two things we humans can control in our world is

1. Where we are focusing our attention or What we are focusing ON…

and…

2. What meaning we give to whatever is happening…

To simplify it into a “chant” or “rap”

It becomes a new mantra…

Where is my focus?
What am I making it mean?

Your assignment today is to write this out, whisper it to yourself, chant it, rap it, sing it… all day long and then let me know how your day went.

Got it? Good!

Cool and groovy. I’m outa hear!

(yes you beloved detail oriented “spell checkers out there”, I MEANT to spell here, “Hear” it’s called “Phonological ambiguity” in Ericksonian Conversational Hypnosis…  Sum People call it Punning… But it adds up to something deep going on in your unconscious mind… That’s right… mmm hmmm :o)

– Mark

p.s. HEY!  a special warm welcome to New Transformation Nation Members Jason from upstate New York and Carina from Hamburg Germany!

Welcome!!!!

p.p.s. Focusing on how bad things are? Want to stop doing that? Need help shifting it? Check out CRUSH anxiety NOW!

Interrupting Routines Again

November 17, 2015 by Mark Shepard

hh-11-17-routines-collageI had no idea what I was going to say before I turned the camera on…

And you know, it actually turned out better than I could possibly imagine!

What came out of my mouth was some key thoughts about the ancient Toltec practice of “interrupting routines” and “eliminating self importance”. So I hope you’re ready to shake things up a little bit… Ready?

Here we go!

Any questions?…. Ask ’em.
