CMH CMH Sports Performance & Peak Achievement 2

Question 1

Which pre-competition hypnotic technique helps an athlete achieve the ideal arousal level for their specific sport?

Accepted Answer

Arousal regulation (activation/deactivation suggestions)

Answer

CMH practitioners use tailored arousal regulation—calming suggestions for high-stress sports, energizing suggestions for endurance events—to bring athletes to their personal performance zone.

Question 2

Self-hypnosis training is valuable for athletes primarily because it:

Accepted Answer

Gives athletes an independent tool to manage focus and confidence without a practitioner present

Answer

Teaching athletes self-hypnosis empowers them to self-regulate mental states on demand during training and competition, making the benefits portable and practitioner-independent.

Question 3

When an athlete reports pre-competition anxiety, a CMH session would typically address this by:

Accepted Answer

Installing a relaxation anchor and reframing anxiety as performance energy

Answer

Combining a conditioned relaxation anchor with cognitive reframing (interpreting anxiety arousal as excitement/readiness) channels nervous energy productively rather than suppressing it.

Question 4

The CMH use of 'positive self-talk scripts' delivered in hypnosis is designed to:

Accepted Answer

Replace negative internal dialogue with performance-enhancing beliefs at the unconscious level

Answer

Delivering positive self-talk in trance allows the suggestions to bypass the critical factor and become internalized beliefs, more effectively replacing habitual negative internal dialogue.

Question 5

Which ethical consideration is most important when working with minor athletes in a sports hypnosis context?

Accepted Answer

Obtaining informed consent from both the minor and their parent or legal guardian

Answer

Working with minors always requires parental or guardian informed consent alongside assent from the minor, ensuring legal and ethical protection for all parties.
