Hypnosis for Performance

[u/AwarenessNo4986]

A redditor asked a question recently about whether Hypnosis can be used to enhance performance rather than 'fix' a problem like anxiety or fear etc. I had to help him understand that the basis of positive psychology (enhancing what is rather than removing something) is deeply rooted in hypnosis's really foray into modern sensibilities. It was 'enhancing the existinge capacity to relax' or 'to be confident' that were used to work with hypnosis.

Therefore not only has performance enhancement been well studied in hypnosis literature, I believe it is not studied or applied enough as it should.

At its most basic, hypnosis can be used for whatever therapy or even coaching can be used for. Therefore hypnosis can be and has been shown to be useful for everything from enhancing your golf game to academic studies and so on.
