Why Hypnosis is Not a Bunch of Hooey

Skeptics Stop Here!

If you are reading this with a sideways glance, either because you are new to the concept of self-hypnosis or because it just seems too airy-fairy for your rational disposition, then this section is for you.  I have found in my years of working with clients that it is necessary to demystify hypnosis while offering an understanding of its nuts and bolts so that they might relax and enjoy the process. In order to do that, I will outline the fundamentals of hypnosis, self-hypnosis, the alpha state, and how all of those things factor together to help you drastically improve your golf game.

If hypnosis is old hat to you and you just want to sink your teeth into the self-hypnosis scripts, then feel free to skip ahead to Secret #1, or enjoy this section as a reinforcement of what you may already know.

If you are new to self-hypnosis, or are curious but have your reservations, then this section will be helpful to you in that it offers a grounding in what hypnosis actually is and how it can greatly assist you on the course.

Although I cannot guarantee that by reading this and listening to the corresponding audio tracks that you will become the next Tiger Woods, I can guarantee that by participating in this program, you will become more fluent in the Zone (on and off the golf course).

By reading the remainder of this chapter, you should have most of your questions answered, and I hope you will come to an understanding that the self-hypnosis process is one that will only serve to enhance the physical work you are already doing in your golf lessons and practice sessions to increase your enjoyment of the game.

What is the Difference Between Hypnosis and Self-Hypnosis?

All hypnosis is self–hypnosis.

When clients come to see me, I tell them, “ I am not going to do something to you. I am not a genie in a bottle who is going to change your handicap with a nod of the head and a wink of an eye.  You are in control of your life and you are the one and only one who has the power to accept or reject suggestions or impressions that come your way.”

As a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, I am essentially a coach. I train people to get out of their own way and utilize their minds in an empowering way. I train people to de-hypnotize themselves from the false and limited belief systems they have accumulated over the years, in order to uncover their natural genius that is always there, just beneath the surface.

I tell my clients that the work we do in my office is a springboard to set change in motion.  The work we do together is a catalyst, a pep-rally, an empowerment blast that initiates you in the direction you desire to go.  However, the dramatic transformation comes from your willingness to participate in your own evolution by continuing the work that we begin, in your own life, on and off the golf course. The radical change that is possible with hypnotherapy comes from your use of the tool of hypnosis to change the environment in your mind. And those tools are contained in the book that you are now holding in your hand.

But to get more specific, self-hypnosis is actually the art of being able to access a hypnotic state intentionally on your own, without a Hypnotherapist in your physical proximity to guide you.
