Elizabeth Moffett, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Psychotherapist
Train your Brain to enhance performance in work, life and play. I also work with Sports Performance/Enhancement, Performance Blocks/Anxiety, Sports Traumas/Injuries and the “YIPs” (which is the loss of fine motor skills and psychological issues that impact on the muscle memory and decision making of the player which creates a failure to perform basic skills of the sport). Sports Traumas emanates from sports anxiety, sports injuries, sports failures and sports humiliations which are simultaneous physical and psychological traumas to the nervous system and can inhibit natural movement. With traditional Sports Psychology using cognitive behavioral techniques of talk therapy positive self-talk, reframing, etc., focusing mainly on the athlete’s performance, it only leads to partial and/or temporary relief of symptoms. However, with Dr. David Grand’s Brainspotting Sports Work with “body-centered techniques, we address unique physical and emotional roots of the problem within the athlete’s brain & body, focusing primarily on the athlete as a person and his/her unique trauma history and secondarily the athletic performance, leading to the complete resolution of the performance problem and conscious symptoms and to performance enhancement”, This Is Your Brain On Sports; Beating Blocks, Slumps and Performance Anxiety for Good. In Dr. David Grand’s book, he introduces a version of post traumatic stress disorder of stuck athletes that he has labeled, “Sports Traumatic Stress Disorder” (STSD).
