Help with overthinking in Rugby

When useful thinking becomes another round

I know this one myself. When something really mattered to me, I’d catch myself asking the same questions: is this going to work? Can I actually do this? Will I get the result I want? What helped me was letting go of those repeated questions and feeling more at ease with what I was doing.

We look at when questions keep returning and what you notice as they do. You may be trying to avoid a mistake, understand someone’s reaction or feel certain before acting. We work out what matters in your situation.

In hypnosis, we use imagery and suggestion to practise a different response when the question returns. If a remembered criticism still carries weight, we can explore what it means to you now.

You try an agreed step between sessions, such as sending the message or leaving a decision alone. We review what happened and what would be useful next.
