00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Hi, This is Joan Bornstein from PVD, Massachusetts and I

2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>play at Thompson Golf.

3
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Club in North Riding, Massachusetts.

4
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 1>This is Golf Smarter number nine hundred and eighty seven.

5
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.640
<v Speaker 2>All hypnosis is the form of self hypnosis. Think of

6
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 2>me as your tour guide. If you're driving up in

7
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.760
<v Speaker 2>the mountains and you're looking for this lake and I

8
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>help you get there. Then once you get to the lake,

9
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 2>you're there, you're enjoying it, you're loving life, and I'm

10
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 2>no longer important. I'm just the one to help you

11
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 2>get there. So that's what a hypnotist does. So all

12
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 2>forms of hypnosis are self hypnosis because it takes place

13
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 2>in your own subconscious mind. In fact, I made a

14
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.600
<v Speaker 2>video a hypnosis one on one for golfers. It's on YouTube.

15
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 2>The biggest myth about hypnosis is that you have to

16
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 2>be easily swayed, gullible, weak witted, dim witted, not the

17
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 2>sharpest crayon in the box. And people are proud to say, yeah,

18
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I can't be hypnotized. Once you understand hypnosis is you'll

19
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 2>understand it's something that anyone could do. It's just a

20
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 2>matter of choice. Now. The other myth is that once

21
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>you're in the hypnotized statement, let's just call it trance.

22
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Once you're in trance, that you're under the power of

23
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 2>the hypnotist.

24
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Here's one you've never considered. How self hypnosis can transform

25
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 1>golf performance With Ken Hollawa. This is Golf Smarter, sharing stories,

26
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>tips and insights from great golf minds to help you

27
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>lower your score and raise your golf IQ. Here's your host,

28
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 1>Fred Green. Welcome to the Golf Smarter podcast. Ken.

29
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Thanks Fred, I'm delighted to be here.

30
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>It's good to have you on the show. This is

31
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be a fascinating topic because talking about flow

32
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 1>state the mental game something that we do on a

33
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>very regular basis. We just had a long conversation last

34
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>episode on the flow state and getting there staying there.

35
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>But this is an approach that has not been made well.

36
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I've not been aware of taking an approach like this

37
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to get to the flow state, to get your mental

38
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>game really tuned in. And that's with self hypnosis. Now,

39
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>we have had someone on before about hypnosis self hypnosis,

40
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 1>but the person wasn't a golfer.

41
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Right now, this is a.

42
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Real different Oh okay, thank you, But this is a

43
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>real different approach because you are a golfer and you're

44
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 1>trying to get golfers to learn how to use self

45
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>hypnosis to get themselves into a much better mental state

46
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>for their game.

47
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

48
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, that was really great. Thanks so much, Ken.

49
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a great show. Yeah, see you next time. Hey, please,

50
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 2>before we get started, I want to let you know

51
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 2>we have a mutual friend.

52
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh is that right.

53
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm referring to Martin Chuck. I met Martin over

54
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 2>ten years ago and I've been following his work ever since,

55
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 2>and he's my favorite golf coach in the whole world.

56
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 2>And he's part of the reason why I moved to

57
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Phoenix so I could be closer. Yeah, out to his

58
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 2>golf academy. It's a tour stiker golf academy and it's

59
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 2>like being a kid at Disneyland out there. It's so cool.

60
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 2>He is amazing.

61
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>So let's get back to the Thank you very much

62
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>for that. Go back to the self hypnosis to improve

63
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the life.

64
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Of a govement. Okay, okay, go Well, you know I

65
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 2>wanted to ask you how you got the focus to

66
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>do the mental game of golf and my understanding and

67
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>this is from my own personal experience is people know,

68
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 2>they sensed the idea that the mental game of golf

69
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 2>is important, but they don't necessarily know why it's important.

70
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 2>And even if they did, they don't know how to

71
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 2>improve at it, how to get better at it, or

72
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 2>how much it affects your golf performance. So, and I

73
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>was one of them, I don't know. They say, oh,

74
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>the most important, you know, Bobby Jones, right the six

75
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 2>inches between your ears. So I didn't realize how important

76
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the mental game was to golf. But what I discovered,

77
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>quite by accident, is that you could use hypnosis to

78
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 2>incorporate all the principles of the mental game and plant

79
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>them directly into the subconscious mind where most of us

80
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 2>live and when we're playing golf. And to me, that

81
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 2>was a revelation. I knew it was powerful, and I

82
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 2>knew it was it was profound, and I knew that

83
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 2>was going to create a program just for golfers that

84
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>just focuses on golf, and that that's why we're here today.

85
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so let's talk about that. How How do where

86
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>do we get started if we want to use so well, no,

87
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>let's not get started. Let's talk about the advantages of

88
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 1>why we want to use self hypnosis.

89
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, why don't you give me a couple because

90
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I know my material. But just just to make this interactive,

91
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>what do you think are like the top two or

92
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 2>three reasons that people struggle with their mental game?

93
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Uh frustration? Okay, yeah, because things not going away you

94
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 1>want them to? Sure, which is golf? Do you want

95
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 1>to keep going there? I mean, like, I think that's

96
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>really that I personally, that's what happens with me when

97
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I start losing my game is because it's like, you know,

98
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>a couple bad shots, you know, sometimes you know, a

99
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>three putt will will get me there, but short game

100
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>stuff will not getting the results that I'm anticipating.

101
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, gotcha. I wait for like being two feet off

102
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>the grain and waste a whole shot. Oh yeah, okay,

103
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>So I know what that frustration feels like. And that's

104
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>part of the reason why I created the program. So

105
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 2>everything that everything about golf that we struggle with and

106
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 2>we get frustrated about and everything. I'm the poster boy

107
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 2>for all of that. I am because I went through

108
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 2>it myself. For the longest time. It was ridiculous. Now

109
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 2>now that I'm a hypnosis program. I took all the

110
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>things about the mental game of golf. For example, getting

111
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>emotionally upset and losing your cool that would be one

112
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 2>of them. Choking under pressure would be one. Losing your focus,

113
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.600
<v Speaker 2>giving up on your preshot routine that helps you stay

114
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 2>grounded and consistent, all the various kinds of things, all

115
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 2>the aspects of the mental game that help you achieve

116
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 2>peak performance. The hypnosis program goes right directly into the

117
00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.279
<v Speaker 2>subconscious mind and it gives you cues like saying a

118
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>keyword or having a key technique or taking a cleansing

119
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 2>breath and so forth that helps you recenter yourself and

120
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 2>get your game back on track. And it starts with

121
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 2>getting your head straight. Okay. So I hope that answers

122
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 2>your question, because you know, like James Siegmund says, if

123
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>you hit a bad shot, then you don't own it,

124
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>you objectify it and go you turn into a teaching

125
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 2>moment and you say, if I could do that shot

126
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>over again, how would I do it differently? And that

127
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>turns it into a learning opportunity, And that's how champions

128
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>how their mind works. So I like to help golfers

129
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 2>make the most of every moment and every opportunity that

130
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 2>they have on the golf course to play golf up

131
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>to their best of their ability and to reach their

132
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>full potential and enjoy being in the moment and playing

133
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 2>excellent golf, because that's why we're all there, you know,

134
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 2>we want to hit the shot that keeps us coming back. Right.

135
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 2>And when when I discovered the hypnosis was was so

136
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>powerful to help people on every single one of these points.

137
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 2>That's what helped me create my program and make a

138
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 2>career out of this. Not to mention, I've hypnotized thousands

139
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 2>of people all over.

140
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>The country on stage, right, I mean, this is entertainment.

141
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>You do that as well?

142
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yes, And I have to admit, unlike doctor Siegel,

143
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I never made anyone click like a chicken. He had

144
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.559
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that, you know, that's what a stage hypnotist do,

145
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:40.039
<v Speaker 2>and I never did. Yeah.

146
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 1>But did you get people to growl like Tiger? No?

147
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 2>I never.

148
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>That would be more of the goal for a golfer,

149
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>is like, no, make me swing like Tiger? Think that way?

150
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, that's that's not a bad idea. But uh,

151
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a chicken. I want to be

152
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>My comedy was situational comedy. So I had people acting

153
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 2>off of each other, like I might have a woman

154
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>think that the person next to her is pinching around

155
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 2>the butt whenever I rub my forehead. That would be

156
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>an example of creating a situational comedy. And then they

157
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>respond with a queue and although nothing actually happened, then

158
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 2>the woman's having a reaction like, you know, you keep

159
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 2>your hands for yourself, mister, and then the audience laughs.

160
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Speaker 2>See so.

161
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, how do you get people to agree to

162
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 1>come up on stage for that?

163
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 2>They volunteer and it's an art form as a hypnotist

164
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.720
<v Speaker 2>to look out into a sea of faces and they're

165
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 2>all jumping up and down and they got their hands

166
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:43.639
<v Speaker 2>going and everything because it's fun. It's incredibly exciting. And

167
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 2>then you pick about twenty people bring them up on stage.

168
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.320
<v Speaker 2>And I always had an assistant where she's still my

169
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 2>partner and we've been partners thirty one years. And we

170
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>bring up about twenty people and we do an induction

171
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 2>on the stage where everyone can watch, and then it

172
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.200
<v Speaker 2>takes about, you know, six minutes or so, and then

173
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 2>and then we keep about the best eight people out

174
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>of twenty and make a show out of that. So

175
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.759
<v Speaker 2>each of these eight people, that's our recipe for success

176
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 2>is to do a show with about eight to ten people.

177
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, you say the best, how do you get to that?

178
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>What is it that you're looking for?

179
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Great question? So one of the things we're looking for

180
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>as a hypnotist is how well do people pay attention

181
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 2>to what I'm saying and how well do they follow

182
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 2>my directions? Okay, this is built into the hypnosis program,

183
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 2>by the way, it's called play like the pros. So

184
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.879
<v Speaker 2>one of the cues that are one of the suggestions

185
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>we give is that your arms feel heavy, your arms

186
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.840
<v Speaker 2>feel loose, limp and relax, and your arms feel heavy

187
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.879
<v Speaker 2>in your lap. Then we come along and lift up

188
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>someone's arm and let go, and if the arm stays up,

189
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.519
<v Speaker 2>then paying attention, and if they aren't plops down, then

190
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.039
<v Speaker 2>we know that they're following.

191
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>They can move on to the next round, right exactly.

192
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's one good way of looking at it. And actually,

193
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 2>one of the reasons this is an insider secret that

194
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.039
<v Speaker 2>almost nobody would know. One of the reasons why I

195
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 2>work with assistant and a lot of hypnotists don't is

196
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.399
<v Speaker 2>because when I'm facing the audience and I have my

197
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 2>back to my volunteers. Some of them could be faking

198
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 2>because they've seen the show. They know how to act,

199
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 2>they know how to look hypnotized, but they're actually not.

200
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 2>And so if I if I we eject them off

201
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.399
<v Speaker 2>the stage and I have an assistant say oh this guy, Yeah,

202
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.960
<v Speaker 2>he's faking, he's out of here, and then that way

203
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 2>because we would be like an affair. So we'd be

204
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 2>like doing two shows a day for a week or

205
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 2>something like a county fair, a county fair, state fair.

206
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.799
<v Speaker 2>I thought you said an affair, Like wait right, what now?

207
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.840
<v Speaker 2>There we did. We got we got to do three

208
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>seasons of Six Flags Magic Mountain and that was alast

209
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 2>the Golden Beear Theater. The show it was so loud,

210
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:15.679
<v Speaker 2>so you know, just the best energy in the world,

211
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 2>and it was a good place to hone my craft.

212
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.440
<v Speaker 2>So uh, that's to answer your question. That that's how

213
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.399
<v Speaker 2>we had various techniques. And of course On and I

214
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.600
<v Speaker 2>trained together, so she knew she knew what to look

215
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>for as well, and she could just tell.

216
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.559
<v Speaker 1>So I got a chance to listen to most of you.

217
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>You sent me the audio of one of your hypnosis sessions,

218
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was listening to it, and one of the

219
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>lines that you had in there I absolutely loved, which

220
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>is every shot has the potential to be great, yep, right,

221
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 1>And it is such a great way to look at it,

222
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 1>gnosis or not, that you know, when our frustration gets

223
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in the way and we're like, ah, today sucks, I'm

224
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.399
<v Speaker 1>not going to be very good and I just screwed

225
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>up that shot, and then you just your attitude is

226
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.759
<v Speaker 1>all wrong. But if you go in with an attitude

227
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>of this could be the shot of the day, this

228
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>could be my best shot, that's really gonna help you. Now.

229
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:26.519
<v Speaker 1>My problem with the hypnosis part and listening to the audio.

230
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.919
<v Speaker 1>I was in a room by myself. It was dark, right,

231
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.639
<v Speaker 1>there was one small light on in there, and I

232
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:39.559
<v Speaker 1>was very comfortable. But you know, we've talked many times,

233
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>people say, don't think about a pink elephant, and what

234
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 1>else are you gonna do is think about a pink elephant.

235
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.919
<v Speaker 1>So when you tell me to sit still and relax

236
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and feel the heaviness of your legs and your arms,

237
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I start itching and twitching and it's like I can't

238
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.879
<v Speaker 1>I can't sit unless I'm going to sleep. I can't

239
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:02.639
<v Speaker 1>sit still like that so I struggled with it a bit.

240
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.799
<v Speaker 1>Can you hypnotize me? Now? You can't do this? Over it?

241
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:08.759
<v Speaker 2>No? No, not over it? Then?

242
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I was hoping that would have been a lot

243
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>of fun. But anyway, but I'm sure that there are

244
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 1>things about hypnosis that some people it works, some people

245
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't. And there's probably a tremendous amount of myths

246
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>about not only hypnosis in general, but self hypnosis that

247
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to break through and let people understand. Let

248
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>me understand what are the things that we should be

249
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 1>aware of?

250
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, great, well, you know it surprises me. I think

251
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>doctor Spiegel brought this up as well, that all hypnosis

252
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.320
<v Speaker 2>is a form of self hypnosis. Okay, So the short

253
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.360
<v Speaker 2>answer to that one is, think of me as your

254
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.960
<v Speaker 2>tour guide. If you're driving up in the mountains and

255
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 2>you're looking for this lake and I help you get there.

256
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Then you get to the lake, you're there, you're enjoying it,

257
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.919
<v Speaker 2>you're loving life, and I'm no longer important. I'm just

258
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 2>the one to help you get there. Okay. So that's

259
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 2>what a hypnotist does. It's a hypnotist acts in that role.

260
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:20.679
<v Speaker 2>So all forms of hypnosis are self hypnosis because it

261
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>takes place in your own subconscious mind whoever's using the hypnosis.

262
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, so what are the myths that we have

263
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.759
<v Speaker 1>to be concerned about. Is that the main one is.

264
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.679
<v Speaker 2>That it no no, no, no no. And in fact,

265
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I made a video about about hypnosis one on one

266
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>for golfers. It's on YouTube. Anyone can watch it. My

267
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:49.960
<v Speaker 2>channel is golf Coach Buddy. And so the biggest myth

268
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>about hypnosis is that you have to be easily swayed,

269
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.720
<v Speaker 2>a gullible, weak witted, dim witted, you know, not the

270
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.840
<v Speaker 2>sharpest crayon in the box. And and people are proud

271
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>to say, yeah, I can't be hypnotized or you know,

272
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:12.279
<v Speaker 2>yeah I'm not susceptible to hypnosis. Right, you've probably heard that, right,

273
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe you said it yourself.

274
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Those people.

275
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's the thing, if you, if you once you

276
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.919
<v Speaker 2>understand what hypnosis is, you'll understand it's something that anyone

277
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.039
<v Speaker 2>could do and it's just a matter of choice. And

278
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 2>this applies to you too. So we're going to come

279
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.240
<v Speaker 2>back full circle to that. Okay. Now, the other myth

280
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 2>is that once once you're in a hypnotized state, and

281
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:41.240
<v Speaker 2>let's just call it trance to facilitate conversation. Once you're

282
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.080
<v Speaker 2>in trance, that you're under the power of the hypnotist.

283
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:50.159
<v Speaker 2>And see, that's that's an incredible myth, and that's it's prevalent,

284
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:54.399
<v Speaker 2>and that's what most people believe because hypnosis has been stigmatized,

285
00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:01.120
<v Speaker 2>and so believe me. Well, let me let's start with

286
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:04.960
<v Speaker 2>a question. Have you ever been to a movie at

287
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>a theater and you were so moved it brought you

288
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 2>to tears? Of course, could you tell me what movie

289
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.319
<v Speaker 2>it was?

290
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Most of the time when I cry at movies is

291
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.359
<v Speaker 1>on airplanes. But I've been to a movie theater a

292
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>long time.

293
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Shindler's List, Okay, okay, there, Yeah, So when when all

294
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.559
<v Speaker 2>the atrocities were going on and you're you're emotionally involved,

295
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 2>and you were getting into it and it was making

296
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:40.839
<v Speaker 2>you upset and causing you to have these emotional reactions, right, okay,

297
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 2>did you ever feel like you weren't yourself?

298
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what that means.

299
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you're in a theater, you're sitting there, it's dark, right,

300
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.880
<v Speaker 2>You're not sitting there scrimming around, You're just sitting there

301
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.759
<v Speaker 2>in the chair watching the movie. It's dark, you're ignoring distractions,

302
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 2>you're paying attention to the movie, and you know they're

303
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:07.160
<v Speaker 2>all actors, right. You know that if the lights came on,

304
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>or you smelled smoke, or the fire alarm went off

305
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:13.079
<v Speaker 2>or something, you just get up and leave like everybody else. Right.

306
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 2>So you felt normal and natural in every way, didn't you? Yes, Okay,

307
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 2>without even thinking about it. Okay, So you weren't aware

308
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of your conscious awareness because you relax that and just

309
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.319
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed the movie at a subconscious level. And that's where

310
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:35.880
<v Speaker 2>our emotions run. Okay, So being in a theater watching

311
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:41.599
<v Speaker 2>a movie and relaxed and just enjoying it, you're still you.

312
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>You still feel normal in every way, and if you

313
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:50.200
<v Speaker 2>need to be interrupted for something important, it happens instantly,

314
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:54.680
<v Speaker 2>no big deal, right, And that's what hypnosis feels like.

315
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>So people think that they're going to feel weird. I

316
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't myself when the first time I got hypnotized. I'm like, oh,

317
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:04.720
<v Speaker 2>this is going to feel weird. I'm going to feel

318
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.079
<v Speaker 2>like I'm buzzing or something something weird. Right, I'm going

319
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.640
<v Speaker 2>to feel like I'm not myself or something. But that

320
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:14.240
<v Speaker 2>never happens. Okay, Being in a state of hypno Being

321
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.240
<v Speaker 2>in trance is similar to just being in a state

322
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:20.039
<v Speaker 2>of daydream. Now, I got another question for you, Fred.

323
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever been driving home from work and all

324
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden you pull up in your driveway and

325
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.640
<v Speaker 2>you're like, holy smokes, I don't remember driving for the

326
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.039
<v Speaker 2>last ten minutes. Right, Has that happened to you?

327
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Of course? Okay, it really used to happen to me

328
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot. When I had a manual transmission. I was

329
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:40.160
<v Speaker 1>a stick shift, and I'm like, how did I get

330
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to third gear?

331
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Wait? Yeah, exactly. So it's very similar to being at

332
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 2>the movie. Your body is doing something boring and repetitive.

333
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>You're driving your same old car down the same old

334
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:54.759
<v Speaker 2>road at the same time of the day, dealing with

335
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the same cop you know, drivers and everything, and you

336
00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 2>just kind of go on autopilot. You're consciously driving the

337
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 2>car safely, but your mind is often la la land.

338
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.240
<v Speaker 2>You're daydreaming, You're thinking about your wife or whatever, it

339
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:13.599
<v Speaker 2>could be anything, right, Yeah, exactly. So that is precisely

340
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:18.079
<v Speaker 2>what it's like to be in a hypnotic state. Okay,

341
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:21.640
<v Speaker 2>so you're still you, you still have conscious that flows,

342
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean exactly, Yeah, and we'll come back around to that.

343
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 2>So so you're still you, You still feel normal in

344
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 2>every way, you still have full cognitive function and awareness.

345
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.039
<v Speaker 2>But but your brain is in a in a in

346
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:41.240
<v Speaker 2>a you know, it's vibrating in a theta theta zone.

347
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:46.359
<v Speaker 2>So that's what it's like to be. So if everyone's

348
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:50.240
<v Speaker 2>had these experiences. Anytime you do something boring and repetitive,

349
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>like taking a shower, driving home from work, going to

350
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.680
<v Speaker 2>a movie theater where you relax, the body, the body's

351
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:02.519
<v Speaker 2>doing something rope and your subconscious mind is just going

352
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:05.480
<v Speaker 2>all over the place having a great time. Right, That's

353
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:10.559
<v Speaker 2>exactly what hypnosis feels like. So anyone can do it

354
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:13.200
<v Speaker 2>anytime they want, and in fact, everyone gets into that

355
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:18.160
<v Speaker 2>state often whether they're aware of it or not. And

356
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:21.759
<v Speaker 2>the job of a hypnotist, as I mentioned earlier, is

357
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.920
<v Speaker 2>like being the guide. And I said, all hypnosis is

358
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:29.240
<v Speaker 2>a form of self hypnosis. So if you came to

359
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:36.599
<v Speaker 2>me and said, hey, my golf game's pretty good, but

360
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I just suck on these short puts under pressure, I

361
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>get the yips and I just can't control my putting.

362
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I get the yips and it just frustrates the heck

363
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.160
<v Speaker 2>out of me, right, so we could do a session together.

364
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.319
<v Speaker 2>I can help you relax. It'd be like you know,

365
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.759
<v Speaker 2>walking into a theater, turn off the lights, sit down

366
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:56.920
<v Speaker 2>in a comfy chair, right, just like get a theater.

367
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>And then so I hope you get your body relaxed,

368
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:04.119
<v Speaker 2>and then I will give you suggestions. And the suggestions

369
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:08.240
<v Speaker 2>will be Fred. Every time you step onto the green,

370
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the color green, you feel the grass beneath your feet,

371
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.680
<v Speaker 2>and you feel relaxed, You feel in control, and you

372
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.400
<v Speaker 2>see the putt and you know you can make the

373
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.200
<v Speaker 2>putt and you feel relaxed and full of confidence. And

374
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.000
<v Speaker 2>when you set up to the ball, you feel the

375
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:25.799
<v Speaker 2>weight of the club in your hands and you feel

376
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the ground under your feet and you know that you're

377
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 2>going to make a nice smooth stroke and the ball's

378
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.200
<v Speaker 2>going to go in. Bubba buah blah blah. Right, So

379
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.319
<v Speaker 2>these are suggestions I would give you, But again I'm

380
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the guide. Everything that's important, is happening, is in your mind. Okay,

381
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.880
<v Speaker 2>So does that kind of make the picture for you?

382
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:51.839
<v Speaker 2>And if I said, if I said, hey, Fred, as

383
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:54.640
<v Speaker 2>long as you're hypnotized tomorrow, I want you to go

384
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:57.880
<v Speaker 2>rob a bank and bring me all the cash. Okay,

385
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:02.519
<v Speaker 2>you would reject thatuggestion because that's not something you would

386
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.559
<v Speaker 2>want to do right so anytime, and it's called a

387
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 2>suggestion for a reason. It's not a command. So this

388
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:14.960
<v Speaker 2>ties in with a myth I said earlier about people

389
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.039
<v Speaker 2>think that they're under the control of the hypnotist. And see,

390
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:23.039
<v Speaker 2>that's a myth because I can only give suggestions. I

391
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:27.079
<v Speaker 2>can't give commands. No one's under my command. Now people

392
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.039
<v Speaker 2>are free to choose to follow the suggestion or not.

393
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 2>But you always have your conscious awareness, just like being

394
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:38.480
<v Speaker 2>in a theater driving a car, So you're always able

395
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:44.440
<v Speaker 2>to reject any suggestion that you want to and that's important.

396
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.160
<v Speaker 2>And once people understand that, then they know then they

397
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.119
<v Speaker 2>have understanding and they no longer feel threatened by it.

398
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Then then it becomes a matter of going, well, hey,

399
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:58.039
<v Speaker 2>what are those suggestions. If they can help me with

400
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:01.839
<v Speaker 2>my golf game, I'd love to hear them, right, And

401
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 2>I want to make this happen because here's the thing.

402
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to run out of time here. But

403
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:12.839
<v Speaker 2>when you start out in life, you are a sponge.

404
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:17.319
<v Speaker 2>You are recording everything, everything, all five senses, full blast,

405
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 2>being filmed and recorded in your subconscious mind, and almost

406
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:24.799
<v Speaker 2>everything important in life that we learn how to do

407
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:27.480
<v Speaker 2>and how to process things, we're done with that by

408
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.559
<v Speaker 2>the time we're six or seven years old. And most

409
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 2>people as adults, those are the programs they run their

410
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.680
<v Speaker 2>whole life. For most of us. I think there was

411
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.759
<v Speaker 2>a book. I haven't read it. I think everything important

412
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I learned in kindergarten something like that. It's probably a

413
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 2>good book anyway. By using hypnosis as an adult, you know,

414
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 2>if you're in your forties, fifty sixties or whatever, and

415
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:58.200
<v Speaker 2>like you think, gosh, am I ever going to get

416
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:04.559
<v Speaker 2>better at golf? I'm so frustrated. You know, by using hypnosis,

417
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:09.599
<v Speaker 2>you can rewrite the subconscious program that isn't serving you,

418
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:15.400
<v Speaker 2>like getting the yips on a short put under pressure, right, okay,

419
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.799
<v Speaker 2>and you can replace it with another program that works better.

420
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:25.039
<v Speaker 2>And then then the only thing left is repetition. Okay.

421
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 2>So you have to listen to the program, you know,

422
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 2>every day for you know, maybe two or three weeks whatever,

423
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:33.799
<v Speaker 2>and the longer you listen to it, you reinforce the

424
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.759
<v Speaker 2>new program. It occurs over time, but all you have

425
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.160
<v Speaker 2>to do is listen, okay, And you could do as

426
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:43.039
<v Speaker 2>you're drifting off to sleep at night, so it doesn't

427
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:45.839
<v Speaker 2>even take time out of your day. You just play

428
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the tape. I call it a tape. Play the program,

429
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.200
<v Speaker 2>listen to it as you're drifting off to sleep at night,

430
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:55.039
<v Speaker 2>and then all of a sudden you're out on the

431
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:58.119
<v Speaker 2>golf course and you start getting amazing results, and you'll

432
00:25:58.119 --> 00:26:02.400
<v Speaker 2>know it's because of the hypnosis program. And the kicker

433
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.160
<v Speaker 2>is that once that new program is in your subconscious mind,

434
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:10.000
<v Speaker 2>it'll be there as if you've had it your whole life.

435
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:12.119
<v Speaker 2>It's it's who you are now.

436
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay. A couple of things in listening to the program.

437
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:27.279
<v Speaker 1>As I was lying there last night and you said,

438
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to if you use the word green, right,

439
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:35.359
<v Speaker 1>it's the trigger word for you. It's not a good

440
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:37.799
<v Speaker 1>word for me. That's my last name, so that that

441
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:40.519
<v Speaker 1>word gets thrown around a lot in my life. So

442
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I got to come up with another name.

443
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:46.200
<v Speaker 1>But I'm someone who and I've been open about this.

444
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:54.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm medicated for a d D right ADHD. And it's

445
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 1>for me life is now and not now.

446
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Right.

447
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:06.920
<v Speaker 1>You look confused. I mean that's that I.

448
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Want to understand what you're saying. But I don't want to.

449
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:10.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm if I don't.

450
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, you know, it's I've got a hyper focus,

451
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:15.240
<v Speaker 1>which really was a lot of a d D is

452
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:20.079
<v Speaker 1>hyper focus. Otherwise it's you know, I can hear the

453
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:23.359
<v Speaker 1>three conversations that are going at the tables around me

454
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 1>as well as the one going on and and it's

455
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 1>just and then like when my wife says I want

456
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to make a plan for next it's like, just make

457
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the plan and I'll be there. But don't ask me

458
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.359
<v Speaker 1>to think about I gotta you know, all I can

459
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:39.359
<v Speaker 1>really do is schedule my rounds of golf and get

460
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 1>my work done. But it's now and not now does

461
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:45.519
<v Speaker 1>that make sense at all? So it's hard for me

462
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.319
<v Speaker 1>to get into that state, at least my first time around.

463
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm definitely willing to try it again.

464
00:27:54.759 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, you know the induction that I use in

465
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.759
<v Speaker 2>the program, that's after many years of diligent study and

466
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:13.759
<v Speaker 2>experience to be to be the most effective to the

467
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:17.319
<v Speaker 2>largest group of people. And I wouldn't make the claim

468
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:22.119
<v Speaker 2>necessarily that that particular induction, word for word, is going

469
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:24.440
<v Speaker 2>to work one hundred percent for every single human being

470
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 2>on the planet that speaks English. What I would say is,

471
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:30.440
<v Speaker 2>if you buy the program and for some reason it

472
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:32.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work for you and you're not happy, you can

473
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:33.359
<v Speaker 2>get your money back.

474
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

475
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:40.200
<v Speaker 2>But in your case, I'm happy to discuss your particular

476
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:45.119
<v Speaker 2>issue with the ADHD. But as far as the keyword goes,

477
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:51.079
<v Speaker 2>you could just mentally change it. Just think of a

478
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.559
<v Speaker 2>word that works for you better. In fact, let's just

479
00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:57.599
<v Speaker 2>come up with one right now. Now, this is a

480
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:02.279
<v Speaker 2>word that as you're going through a round of golf. Okay,

481
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:06.000
<v Speaker 2>there's certain things that you have Okay, use your eyesight

482
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:09.640
<v Speaker 2>to focus on your target, right, use your hands to

483
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:12.720
<v Speaker 2>hold the club, and use your feet to feel the

484
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:16.240
<v Speaker 2>ground beneath you. Right. So we want you to be

485
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:18.799
<v Speaker 2>in the present moment of golf. We want you to

486
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:23.000
<v Speaker 2>be focused on exactly what you're doing, and so we

487
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:26.759
<v Speaker 2>want to make we want to keep you centered and grounded. Okay.

488
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:29.240
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of the suggestions are worded in that

489
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 2>direction that, Hey, you're walking around the golf course, you

490
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.200
<v Speaker 2>see the target, you see a golf ball, you feel

491
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:38.319
<v Speaker 2>the way to the club in your hands, you feel

492
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the ground beneath your feet. Take one of these cues

493
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and make a word out of it. That helps you

494
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:48.440
<v Speaker 2>think of all the good, powerful and positive suggestions that

495
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 2>you want to use in your subconscious mind.

496
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Balance.

497
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:59.759
<v Speaker 2>Balance, great, balance. So you say your keyword is green,

498
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I want you to think your keyword is balance. So

499
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:05.880
<v Speaker 2>every time you step up to a ball, or better yet,

500
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:09.920
<v Speaker 2>let's say if you have a good pre shot routine. Okay,

501
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:12.640
<v Speaker 2>you got the club in your hand, you're standing back

502
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:15.880
<v Speaker 2>behind the ball, you're siding down your target line right,

503
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and you're envisioning the shot you want to hit, and

504
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:23.839
<v Speaker 2>you take a practice swing. Right. When you come out

505
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:25.680
<v Speaker 2>of that practice swing, you feel the weight of the

506
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:28.039
<v Speaker 2>club in your hands as you're imagining the shot you're

507
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 2>about to hit. This is a mental rehearsal, right, and

508
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.599
<v Speaker 2>a physical rehearsal. And then when you finish that backswing

509
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.119
<v Speaker 2>and you hold that finish, that's where your balance is, right,

510
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.839
<v Speaker 2>and you're thinking, my keyword is balance. Now I'm going

511
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.880
<v Speaker 2>to go step up and and perform this shot beautifully.

512
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I like it. So think of your keyword balance every

513
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:53.400
<v Speaker 2>time you do your pre shot routine. Yeah, that's going

514
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.119
<v Speaker 2>to help work great. Well, they it's going to help

515
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:58.759
<v Speaker 2>you stay balanced, or excuse me, it's going to help

516
00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:02.519
<v Speaker 2>you stay in the present and stay centered and focus

517
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:06.000
<v Speaker 2>on your objective, which is to hit the shot you

518
00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:08.200
<v Speaker 2>rehearse onto your target.

519
00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:12.839
<v Speaker 1>And do you teach golf? Are you also a golf instructor?

520
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I do. I joined the Professional Golf Teachers Association of America,

521
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:26.720
<v Speaker 2>and uh, they're they're a it's like a home study

522
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:33.240
<v Speaker 2>course basically, But I worked with several top ranked professionals

523
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:38.480
<v Speaker 2>and and my focus is on putting on the short game.

524
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:42.599
<v Speaker 2>But I'm also schooled, and you know the full body swing,

525
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:47.000
<v Speaker 2>you know the full the full gamut. So and the

526
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:50.359
<v Speaker 2>reason why I'm trained that way is because I think

527
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:54.000
<v Speaker 2>of myself as a golf performance coach. So I take

528
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:58.000
<v Speaker 2>a holistic approach to every facet of a golfer's game.

529
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:03.079
<v Speaker 2>And so when I contemplate bring on a new golf

530
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 2>coaching client, uh, that person, I will talk about their

531
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:09.119
<v Speaker 2>golf journey and we'll figure out if it's a good

532
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.920
<v Speaker 2>fit for me to work with that person. And part

533
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:15.079
<v Speaker 2>of that is to assess their full game and see

534
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:18.079
<v Speaker 2>where they can make the most improvement and the least

535
00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:20.920
<v Speaker 2>amount of time and effort. So I focus on an

536
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:23.799
<v Speaker 2>immediate improvement and then a long term improvement.

537
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Awesome so many golf instructors, you know, they're they're they're

538
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:34.119
<v Speaker 1>working on swing mechanics right, and and not a lot

539
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 1>not enough work on playing golf right, which is all

540
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:42.359
<v Speaker 1>the different aspects. It's not just about hitting the ball right.

541
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.440
<v Speaker 1>It's about playing the golf course. It's about you know,

542
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:48.599
<v Speaker 1>playing the game and making the best out of your

543
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:51.119
<v Speaker 1>bad shots, which are going to happen no matter what.

544
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Sure.

545
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>And so what's interesting is so many books and God

546
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.440
<v Speaker 1>all the way back to Hogan is talking about the

547
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.640
<v Speaker 1>swing and the swing and you know, to become a

548
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:08.119
<v Speaker 1>better golfer and stuff, but it's really not you know, well,

549
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 1>that's the focus of this podcast. It's all about the

550
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>mental part of it. It's all about the internal struggle

551
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>that's going on and getting through a round of golf,

552
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:23.720
<v Speaker 1>not on your mechanics, but on playing a round of

553
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:24.960
<v Speaker 1>golf right.

554
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Sure. You know you mentioned earlier you mentioned the zone. Yeah,

555
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:34.480
<v Speaker 2>and that's the opposite of struggle. Being in the zone

556
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:38.759
<v Speaker 2>is when it's easy, it's effortless, right, you let the

557
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:41.160
<v Speaker 2>club heead do the work. You're seeing the shots you

558
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:43.839
<v Speaker 2>want to hit, your balls are tracking on target, you're

559
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:46.279
<v Speaker 2>enjoying the day. You just feel great. You're like walking

560
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:51.119
<v Speaker 2>above the ground. Life is beautiful, right, And so when

561
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:53.519
<v Speaker 2>you work on the mental game, you're kind of like

562
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:56.079
<v Speaker 2>tipping the scales in your favor, so you can set

563
00:33:56.119 --> 00:34:00.759
<v Speaker 2>yourself up for success to enjoy peak performance during your

564
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:05.799
<v Speaker 2>round of golf. And I happen to believe that, you know,

565
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:10.960
<v Speaker 2>hypnosis can make a big difference in that regard. And yeah,

566
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:16.239
<v Speaker 2>so I've got lots of materials that people can well,

567
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:18.840
<v Speaker 2>you know a lot of people have been following your podcast,

568
00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:21.679
<v Speaker 2>which focuses on the middle game, and that's what attracted

569
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:26.519
<v Speaker 2>us to each other. But I've created a variety of

570
00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:30.360
<v Speaker 2>free resources on YouTube and on my website, golf coachbuddy

571
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 2>dot com where people can come and learn more about

572
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.159
<v Speaker 2>how the mental game works, why it's important, and how

573
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.599
<v Speaker 2>you could use hypnosis to improve your mental game, because

574
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:45.119
<v Speaker 2>if you want to be honest, you know, your mental

575
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:47.840
<v Speaker 2>game can make or break your performance on the golf course.

576
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:52.199
<v Speaker 2>And the body follows the mind, and every shot exists

577
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:55.239
<v Speaker 2>first in your mind's eye, So the better you are

578
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:59.639
<v Speaker 2>at what's the one thing everyone says they want in golf?

579
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:04.760
<v Speaker 1>More distance, more consistency, More consistency and more distance. Yeah, right.

580
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So doesn't it make sense that if your mental

581
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:16.119
<v Speaker 2>approach to this golf game is more consistent, then so

582
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:18.599
<v Speaker 2>is your physical performance going to be more consistent.

583
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Nice?

584
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's where it's at.

585
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about you've now become accustomed to the self

586
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:36.800
<v Speaker 1>hypnosis part of getting yourself into that place where you

587
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:43.119
<v Speaker 1>can recall the trigger word. What about your pre round preparation?

588
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Is this something that you need to do with the

589
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.840
<v Speaker 1>self hypnosis at the golf course before you leave the house?

590
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Where where do you put that? And what is the

591
00:35:56.079 --> 00:36:01.639
<v Speaker 1>the what's the word I'm looking for there? You're practice,

<v Speaker 2>with my voice so to help ground them. And then

617
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:22.039
<v Speaker 2>all the content that's particularly in the pep Talk is

618
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:26.320
<v Speaker 2>designed to have your head in the game. Put your

619
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:29.159
<v Speaker 2>game face on, get out there and be in the

620
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:32.960
<v Speaker 2>moment of golf and enjoy playing. You know, the beauty

621
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:35.880
<v Speaker 2>of the game. That's what it's all about. And get

622
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:38.559
<v Speaker 2>out there and crush it. And you know, if you

623
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:42.039
<v Speaker 2>get knocked down, you get back up right, So that's all.

624
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:44.639
<v Speaker 1>We stop beating? How do we start stop beating ourselves? There?

625
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, Fred, you got to be your own

626
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:51.360
<v Speaker 2>best friend on the golf course. You know, you talk

627
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.320
<v Speaker 2>about the mental game. Imagine for a moment if you

628
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:57.679
<v Speaker 2>hired a caddy, right, and you have a caddy, there's

629
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:01.039
<v Speaker 2>a stranger and and you hit a shot and it's

630
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:04.199
<v Speaker 2>it's god awful, right, and the caddie goes. Boy, you

631
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.320
<v Speaker 2>really suck. You know, you should take up basket weaving

632
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:09.880
<v Speaker 2>or something, right, and then you like wow, I can't

633
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.440
<v Speaker 2>believe you said that. And then after the next shot

634
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:14.960
<v Speaker 2>is like you miss the easy pott or like wow,

635
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.880
<v Speaker 2>way to go there, Alice, you know whatever? Yeah right,

636
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:20.039
<v Speaker 2>it gives you a bunch of grief and talks you know,

637
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:25.039
<v Speaker 2>surly right, you would never hire that caddy again if

638
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:27.199
<v Speaker 2>you went back this the same guys. No, no, no, no, no,

639
00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:31.119
<v Speaker 2>I want somebody else. This guy's a jerk, right right,

640
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:35.039
<v Speaker 2>So why would you talk to yourself that way?

641
00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely? Abste And that's what we do anybody, if anybody,

642
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, from what I've witnessed, if anyone's gonna yell

643
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:48.039
<v Speaker 1>at anyone, they're gonna yell at themselves like it just

644
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:52.119
<v Speaker 1>like everyone uses, you know, they slam themselves and use

645
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:55.400
<v Speaker 1>their own name. A great shot, Fred, you suck, Fred? Oh?

646
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:58.239
<v Speaker 1>You know it's like I try to avoid that at

647
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:03.000
<v Speaker 1>all costs. I try, you know, But when someone screams

648
00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:05.960
<v Speaker 1>at himself on the course, I'll regularly say, don't talk

649
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to my friend that way.

650
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Yeah. Well so so when you use the hypnosisis

651
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.719
<v Speaker 2>I was mentioned earlier, and you reprogram your subconscious mind,

652
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:21.039
<v Speaker 2>then you're writing new programs that run, and those programs

653
00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:25.719
<v Speaker 2>no longer run. You know. It's like for someone who's

654
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:29.400
<v Speaker 2>smokes cigarettes, right, they have all these cues that make

655
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.360
<v Speaker 2>them want to light a cigarette, you know, open a beer,

656
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.960
<v Speaker 2>get in the car, or whatever it is, right, Yeah,

657
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.119
<v Speaker 2>And when a person makes decides that they're not going

658
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.320
<v Speaker 2>to smoke anymore, all those cues are still there, right,

659
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the program's still running. There's a neural pathway blaze emblazoned

660
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.559
<v Speaker 2>in the brain that says, hey, every time you walk

661
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:51.880
<v Speaker 2>into a bar and order a beer, you light a cigarette. Right. Well,

662
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.920
<v Speaker 2>so unless you don't go into bars and order a

663
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:57.320
<v Speaker 2>beer anymore, you're still going to put yourself in a

664
00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:00.519
<v Speaker 2>situation where you used to want to light a cigarette. Right,

665
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:02.719
<v Speaker 2>So now you have to new you have to have

666
00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a new neural pathway in your brain for your brain

667
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:09.920
<v Speaker 2>to follow that serves you better, that's more healthy, that

668
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:14.679
<v Speaker 2>you extinguish the old one. By attrition, you come up

669
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:17.880
<v Speaker 2>with a new one that takes its place, see, and

670
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.360
<v Speaker 2>then you follow that new one there. And hypnosis makes

671
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:28.719
<v Speaker 2>it possible because how else are are we supposed to

672
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:32.639
<v Speaker 2>directly communicate with our subconscious mind. You would not believe

673
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:37.440
<v Speaker 2>how powerful the subconscious mind is. For example, someone who's

674
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.679
<v Speaker 2>afraid to fly, You put them on a big, giant

675
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:46.639
<v Speaker 2>sound forty seven, right, and and all of a sudden

676
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:49.480
<v Speaker 2>they have a panic attack, right, and like, oh, just

677
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.519
<v Speaker 2>calm down, it's all safe. You know this plane is

678
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, twenty years old, it's not going to crash, right,

679
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.599
<v Speaker 2>there's redundant systems, they got four engines, you know, the pilots.

680
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:03.599
<v Speaker 2>You give all the reasons in the world why it's safe. Right,

681
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:08.159
<v Speaker 2>But they're having an emotional response. I no, I'm panic attack.

682
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:11.679
<v Speaker 2>It's fight or flight. Their heart rates pumping, you know,

683
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:15.239
<v Speaker 2>their blood, there's fight or fight. The hormones are pumping,

684
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.719
<v Speaker 2>and they're having an attack and it's real in their mind,

685
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:26.800
<v Speaker 2>and chemically it's real, right, the neurochemically so. But it

686
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:30.519
<v Speaker 2>started in their mind. That's where its genesis is, that's

687
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:33.559
<v Speaker 2>where it lives. So when they think of getting on airplane,

688
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.519
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna have a panic attack, right, now to a

689
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:40.760
<v Speaker 2>lesser degree. That happens when you walk onto a putting green.

690
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:46.880
<v Speaker 2>You walk onto the green and you set up for

691
00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:49.559
<v Speaker 2>let's say a lag put and you think, oh, I

692
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:52.280
<v Speaker 2>got this, and you're not get passed, and it rolls,

693
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:56.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, eleven feet by right, You're like, oh no,

694
00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:59.440
<v Speaker 2>now now I'm gonna I'm not going to be able

695
00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:01.480
<v Speaker 2>to make this pot. Now I'm in a three pot.

696
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Then you start feeling awful. Then your heart starts pumping,

697
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and then and then you know, you start feeling jacked up,

698
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and now you're a bundle of nerves, right, and if

699
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.320
<v Speaker 2>that happens, you probably are going to miss the putt,

700
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:19.199
<v Speaker 2>but now you know why. So with hypnosis, you can

701
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:24.519
<v Speaker 2>extinguish that behavior, just like quitting smoking, and put a

702
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:27.440
<v Speaker 2>new behavior in its place that that works better for you.

703
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:30.119
<v Speaker 2>And this is something you can make a conscious choice

704
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:30.400
<v Speaker 2>to do.

705
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I love that. I love that. Let's talk about your

706
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:40.199
<v Speaker 1>your program play like the pros okay, and how people

707
00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:43.400
<v Speaker 1>can get involved with it okay and get in touch.

708
00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:48.079
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, I'll tell you I waited a long

709
00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:50.599
<v Speaker 2>time to bring out the program because I want to

710
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:53.840
<v Speaker 2>get the love, time and attention that it deserves, and

711
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:57.639
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to make it maximally effective. And I knew

712
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I'd only get one chance to impress people with getting

713
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:05.840
<v Speaker 2>results and offering one hundred percent money back satisfaction guarantee,

714
00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:08.920
<v Speaker 2>So that doesn't deliver the goods, you know, it's not

715
00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:11.760
<v Speaker 2>going to be a successful program. So I had all

716
00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:14.719
<v Speaker 2>that in mind as I created it, and I spent

717
00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:17.119
<v Speaker 2>about a year putting it together, and then I spent

718
00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:21.400
<v Speaker 2>another year rewriting it, reworking it and optimizing it with

719
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:28.599
<v Speaker 2>the latest statistics about good strategy on the golf course.

720
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:34.239
<v Speaker 2>And so here's what I did. I created the Hypnosis Program,

721
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.639
<v Speaker 2>which is an MP three track. It's about twenty four

722
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:43.079
<v Speaker 2>minutes long. And then I created a companion program that's

723
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:47.800
<v Speaker 2>a PDF and it's about sixty pages long. And what

724
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:50.440
<v Speaker 2>the PDF does if you just sit and read it,

725
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:55.679
<v Speaker 2>and it talks about how hypnosis works, and it talks

726
00:43:55.719 --> 00:44:00.880
<v Speaker 2>about the importance of the short game, and it talks

727
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:06.039
<v Speaker 2>about using good strategy around the golf course. So I'm

728
00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:08.760
<v Speaker 2>setting you up. It's like an alley oop. Okay, I'm

729
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:11.679
<v Speaker 2>setting you up to have the thoughts in your conscious

730
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:15.000
<v Speaker 2>awareness to go, Yeah, you know now that I think

731
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.400
<v Speaker 2>about that is a good idea. I would like to

732
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:19.639
<v Speaker 2>be able to feel more relaxed when I step onto

733
00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:24.519
<v Speaker 2>the putting green. So I accept the idea of that. Right.

734
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Then the hypnosis gives it to you. It puts it

735
00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:34.719
<v Speaker 2>right into your subconscious mind when you're doing your self hypnosis. Okay.

736
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:41.000
<v Speaker 2>And so those come together with a welcome video that

737
00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:44.239
<v Speaker 2>tells you how to use the program, how to do

738
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:49.360
<v Speaker 2>the hypnosis. And then there's also some bonus programs. Because

739
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about you, I love golf tips, right,

740
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:56.199
<v Speaker 2>so it's like, hey, what are they.

741

<v Speaker 2>So if you think, what are the biggest scoring mistakes?

747
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:24.360
<v Speaker 2>and read a mountain of books and everything? So I

748
