Abstract:
Hardly a day goes by without a renowned public figure coming forward in the news and social media to reveal the impact of mental health on their performance and creativity. Stories and research abound on how mental health concerns have contributed to performance setbacks in the lives of elite athletes (U.S. Olympic Committee, 2019), performing artists ((Rusak, et al., 2021), students (Agnafors, et al., 2020) and employees in the workplace (Center for Disease Control, 2018). As society moves towards destigmatizing mental health challenges, the opportunity for clinicians who can use hypnosis (vs. psychopharmacological approaches) to help enhance performance, creativity and mental health is growing. Led by Dr. Dana Lebo, a seasoned psychologist specializing in performance psychology and executive coaching, this workshop draws on over two decades of her experience in guiding individuals towards their peak potential. It will provide for participants the opportunity to experience hypnotically informed strategies to enhance performance and creativity in their clients, whether in sports, on stage, in the arts or at work. Participants will experience the integration of organizational, coaching, sports and mind-body psychologies with hypnosis to help improve performance and creativity. They will learn performance enhancement processes that they can readily apply in their lives and work.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe at least 3 examples of how hypnotic techniques have been used to enhance performance or creativity. Examples will be drawn from sports, the arts or workplace settings.
2. Describe at least two key components to a process-oriented approach to enhancing performance or creativity.
3. Describe at least three experiential exercises — incorporating hypnosis — that they can apply with individuals or groups in the process of enhancing performance or creativity.
