Hypnosis for sports performance in Fort Lauderdale
Hypnosis for sports performance works on where your attention goes and how you see yourself when you compete. Guillermo "Gill" Leon is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CCHt), NLP Practitioner and Life Coach with 20+ years of experience. He sees clients in Fort Lauderdale and online, in English or Spanish.
Two reasons performance gets stuck
In Gill's experience, performance problems often come down to one of two patterns. There are many variations from person to person, and the approach depends on which one is happening.
Stuck on the outcome
You build an artificial rapport with the result you want, and you get stuck there. When it does not happen, you may not see that the technique you are using does not fit. Changing a portion of your attention from the outcome to the technique can change the outcome.
A hidden self-esteem issue
Sometimes something is affecting your self-esteem without you knowing it, and you become critical of yourself in a way that hurts emotionally. Here the work is less about technique and more about reframing how you think of yourself.

What to expect, honestly
Hypnosis can be very effective when it is based on the person's profile, but results vary from person to person. It does not replace coaching, training or medical care for an injury. It works alongside them.
Frequently asked questions
Can hypnosis improve sports performance?
It can help when it is based on the person, and results vary. In Gill's experience, it often means shifting part of your attention from the outcome to your technique, or reframing how you think of yourself.
Why do I perform worse when the outcome matters most?
In Gill's experience, athletes can get stuck on the result they want and miss that the technique needs to change. Others have a hidden self-esteem issue that makes them too critical of themselves. Gill looks at which pattern fits you.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is a focused, relaxed state. You stay aware and in control the whole time.
Are sessions in person or online?
