Bruce Grimley will be presenting this webinar.
About this webinar:
The aim of this webinar is to help people understand that there is a division of Sports and Exercise Psychology within the British Psychology Society which regularly publishes peer reviewed literature, and that many psychologists make a living applying psychology within this domain that can be enhanced by hypnosis. Bruce will demonstrate, with the use of case histories, how he uses hypnosis within this domain of sports psychology.
The first part will take attendees through how a typical sports psychologist may intervene using psychology.
The second part will show how hypnosis can extend the effectiveness of psychological techniques and why.
The final part will provide 2 case histories and also describe how Bruce applied self-hypnosis in order to achieve a bronze medal in the European Duathlon Championships this year and then followed this up with a 4th place (out of 19), in the World Duathlon Championships, 2 months later.
Aim: To show how hypnosis can be used within the field of sports psychology and to stimulate further ideas of how attendees themselves, may creatively enhance the application of psychological techniques using hypnosis.
Learning objectives:
Understand and raise awareness of the Division of Sports and Exercise Psychology and the work of Psychologists in Sport.
Understand how hypnosis can enhance psychological interventions in this domain.
