TLB Performance Enhancement and Coaching
Are you interested in enhancing your skills, gaining more confidence or getting out of a slump? Performance enhancement is geared toward supporting those who wish to grow their creative energies, increase confidence, gain access to their best selves, or deepen their understanding and connection to their life’s purpose and their own abilities. This is not therapy, but short term brainspotting work to explore and uncover access to your best self in a specific area.
Why is brainspotting helpful for performance work?
Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerful brain-based intervention that helps our brains repair neural connections that have been modified due to stress, injuries, or confusing and upsetting events. BSP can help to rewire and heal modified pathways that may have been impacted by certain experiences, allowing us to have a more conscious awareness of our bodies and responses.
Brainspotting enhancement is an ideal support for those seeking to work through performance related anxiety, fear after an injury or are in a “slump” with their performance and want to boost confidence.
Common reasons people seek performance enhancement may include:
Performance anxiety
Low motivation
Chronic pain or recovering from injury
Imposter syndrome
No longer enjoying your sport, profession or creative space
Being in a performance " slump"/ removing blocks
Feeling “lost” and uncertain about your life’s path
Wanting to take it to the “next level”
The number of sessions for performance enhancement work depends on desired outcome and presenting issues/ background. Typically 3-5 sessions yields positive outcome. Sessions can be spaced weeks to months apart depending on client need. Each client is different and it can be difficult to know for sure how many sessions will be needed to achieve the desired outcome. This work will begin with a free 15-30 minute discovery call to assess if performance enhancement is what you are looking for in terms of support. Then we will schedule a 60 minute discovery session which allows us to get to know each other, uncover what you wish to work on, and be sure that brainspotting work is appropriate for you. We will then schedule our first performance enhancement session, if it is a good fit.
This offering is not therapy, and not a billable service for insurance ( even OON). You will not be assigned a mental health diagnosis for this work. If it appears that therapy would be a better fit to address your concerns, therapy will be suggested during the initial discovery call.
Discovery session ( 60 min); $150. Each BSP Enhancement session (90 min) - $225
Katie especially enjoys working with equestrians who may be seeking to recover from an injury/ fall or traumatic experience with their horse during performance, overcome performance anxiety, or simply enhance the connection with their horse. Because of horses' sensitivity to our energy, BSP can also help to enhance your connection with your horse, as it calms the nervous system and allows us to be more grounded and present. BSP is not a replacement for work with a trainer, but an additional support for the rider/ handler. Sessions with equestrians can be done in person in office, via telehealth or at your barn ( within a 30 mile radius of New Glouster, ME)
