Psychotherapy in sports today is like the Colosseum. It has existed for a long time, but can only be used for postcards. A deplorable state. Meanwhile, after the well-known events related to sports pharmaceuticals, the role of the psychotherapist, especially in elite sports, has risen to heaven. After all, the human body is not that lazy, it is prudent to the point of being tight-fisted in relation to its reserves. Once on a bicycle, deep in thought, I climbed the hill, and upstairs I was surprised to find that my breathing was even, and my forehead was not even covered with sweat. Although this long climb, I usually overcame, sticking my tongue out on my shoulder. What happened? Carried away by my thought, I “forgot” that there was a heavy slide in front of me, and the body, not receiving the command to “suffer,” calmly coped with the task. Standard situation for sports. However, the athlete needs more than just a pre-start setting.
Experts will tell you how and what happens to the subconscious of a fighter. The cases are taken from the practice of the Dagestani psychologist and hypnotherapist Kamil Amirov, who, in fact, will tell the story of hypnosis treatment. The theory came from the pen of the hypnotherapist Gennady Ivanov, who developed methods of hypnotic correction of childhood psychotraumas.
Once a Russian judo champion approached me. In training, he felt that he was being judged - and his legs became cottony, felt dizzy, and in the locker room he was overtaken by the most panic attack. They began to understand. It turned out that the sensitivity to any comments and assessments, especially from the father's side, was fueled by the idea "I can't, I can't, I'm weak." Here's a twist! In the regression, we got the strongest impression caused by the aggression of the father towards the mother, which my ward experienced at the age of five. As a result of the study, the discomfort and weakness during the competition went away, and most importantly, my ward was no longer bothered by the thought of what his father would think. Not that he became indifferent, he just stopped attaching great importance to it.
I must say that athletes regularly found themselves in my chair, including with the aim of optimizing the training process through preliminary "mental" mastering of technical elements. And I can tell you, there are results. I remember one junior, whose technique my coach and I improved by the method of ideomotor memorization, began to progress from competition to competition. In one season, she climbed from the middle peasants to the top lines of the table, winning a place in the national team. Please note: without a single pill.
The young man presented with panic attacks that began to occur after falling on his back during a competition. The same situation was reflected in the process of hypnotherapy. Recalling the events of his childhood, it turned out that at the age of 5 years, he also experienced a fall. The child lay for several minutes, and the people passing by did not pay attention to him.
Unlike the previous clients described, in this young person's situation the thought of losing control played a major role. This idea led to tremendous tension before the competition. As he himself said, "as soon as I go out to a performance, the body turns to stone." And, of course, such a reaction prevented him from successfully showing himself in competitions.
Reexamining the situation at the bodily level helped to relieve the client of muscle clamps and panic attacks.
These cases show important patterns in the formation of panic attack symptoms. As a rule, we carry these symptoms from childhood itself, and at some point associated with our past traumas, they come to life again and develop into panic. And despite the apparent differences between the situations that were in our experience and those in connection with which the person is experiencing a panic attack right now, they have something in common. This common, most often, is a feeling of helplessness and loss of control, when a person seems to lose support under his feet and is simply not able to withstand the difficulties of this world. However, hypnotherapy helps to gain this support and not succumb to the influence of sad events that have long since sunk into the past.
