Confidence, Self-Esteem and Running Performance Review (Louisa’s Experience)

Confidence Hypnotherapy Review:

When Louisa first came to see me, she was looking for help with confidence, anxiety and stress.

Like many people I work with in Ely and Newmarket, she knew what she wanted to achieve but found that self-doubt, anxiety and unhelpful thinking patterns were getting in the way.

As her confidence increased and anxiety reduced, she began noticing positive changes across other areas of her life too, including her running and sports performance.

In this video review, Louisa explains what changed and how those improvements helped her feel calmer, happier and more confident.

 

Quick Summary

Name: Louisa

Issue: Anxiety, stress, confidence

What changed:

• confidence and self-esteem
• anxiety and stress
• feeling calmer and happier
• improving her running performance
• achieving a personal best 10K time
• preparing for her first half marathon

This is a good example of how anxiety, confidence and performance are often closely connected.

 

Starting Position

When Louisa first came to see me, she was looking for support with confidence, anxiety and stress.

Like many people, she wanted to feel more comfortable in herself, less affected by anxious thinking and more confident in everyday life.

At the time, she probably wouldn’t have imagined that the same changes would also positively influence her running and sports performance. Like many people, she simply wanted to feel better in herself and more in control of how she felt day-to-day.

 

The Approach

During our sessions we focused on helping Louisa become calmer, more confident and less affected by anxiety and stress.

As confidence grows, many people naturally begin trusting themselves more, taking more positive action and approaching challenges differently.

This often creates benefits across multiple areas of life, including work, relationships, confidence and performance.

 

What Changed?

As described by Louisa in the video below, the changes included:

• feeling calmer and less stressed
• increased confidence and self-belief
• greater enjoyment of life
• improved running performance
• achieving a personal best 10K time
• preparing for her first half marathon

One thing I often notice is that when people stop fighting themselves mentally, performance often improves naturally.

Whether that performance relates to work, sport, relationships or confidence, the principle is often very similar.

 

Why This Matters

Many people assume confidence, anxiety and performance are separate issues.

In reality they are often closely connected.

When anxiety reduces and confidence grows, people often discover they are capable of much more than they previously believed.

Sometimes that shows up in sport and sometimes it shows up in work, relationships or personal goals.

The principle is often exactly the same.

Full Transcript

You don’t need to read this, the video above explains everything clearly. This is here if you prefer to read instead.

Hi my name’s Louisa and I first came to see Dan for hypnotherapy sessions to help me with my self confidence, dealing with anxiety and stress issues.

Then I discovered that he’s brilliant at helping me train for my sports which I’ve been doing. So, I’ve been doing 10Ks and he helped me achieve my fastest ever time.

I managed to knock four minutes off my 10K and now I’m just about to do my first ever half marathon which I never thought I’d be able to do because I’m useless at running and his sessions have just been amazing. They’ve really helped me in every aspect of my life and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I’m a much calmer, happier and stress-free person and much fitter for it as well.

Thank you Dan.

Local Perspective

As an anxiety and confidence therapist in Ely, I regularly help people who feel held back by self-doubt, stress, anxiety and lack of confidence.

While Louisa’s story includes running and sports performance, the same confidence-building principles apply whether someone wants to feel more confident socially, professionally or personally. In fact, many people who seek help for confidence discover that anxiety, overthinking and self-doubt have been the real issues underneath all along.
