Using Hypnosis to Enhance Personal and Group Confidence

In many performance settings (e.g., sport, business) confidence is an important determinant of performance.  Across a range of settings individuals and teams who have a belief in their ability to succeed perform better because of increased effort, persistence and a willingness to work towards high, but achievable, goals. One technique that can be effective in enhancing confidence is hypnosis. In this course Dr Jamie Barker and Dr Marc Jones draw on their research and practical experience of using hypnosis to enhance confidence and performance in sport settings. 

The aims of the workshop are to provide delegates firsthand experience of hypnotic-based procedures; examine the applied issues surrounding its use in performance domains and dispel some of the myths surrounding hypnosis; and consider the research evidence for the effectiveness of hypnosis. Above all this is a practical workshop and as such delegates will experience firsthand a range of hypnotic-based procedures including ego-strengthening hypnosis, and group hypnosis. Throughout the workshop delegates will be provided with case-study examples of hypnosis use and while the examples relate to sport the principles apply equally to other performance settings (e.g., performing arts, business).
